@Gordonium: Labs are too busy sniffing out bombs and drugs, guiding the blind, and helping disabled veterans to play video games. They're also too smart to pay $120 for a game that kinda sucks.
I think that this dog has made several cognitive breakthroughs. It understands that the screen is connected to the board and that the board can control the skater. Even understanding the "concept" of controlling something externally is completely alien to a dog.
@Gary_7vn: And could you imagine what an awesome feeling it is to wake up every day and be able to say "My dog really is better than your dog." And this time, you meant it. For real and for true.
It would be better with two sets of tubes. One for the rodents and a separate one for Victor, the python. Imagine the fun as they chase each other up and down and around. #gerbilshirt
All of you are laughing now, but little do you know that that kid is going to emerge as the next gerbil-themed super villain. Soon the world will tremble before my mighty gerbil army!! #gerbilshirt
@BergenCountyJC: I was coming to this thread to see if anyone had made reference to this yet so I could steal my nugget (sorry) of internet gold but I knew that this would in no way be possible with the speed of my fellow giz readers :( #gerbilshirt
I don't understand what's so gross about this. A dog is a mammal and so are humans. For the most part, we eat similar foods. If it's clean enough for your dog, it's logically clean enough for humans as well. Ever heard of the 5 second rule?
Yet another friggin germophope!!! The only difference is that now someone managed to give you the ability to post useless opinions on gizmodo. #autofetchmotionpetballpettoy
@drsmith: It's because even humans being mammals just like dogs, there's a difference: We can communicate and express our own tastes regarding food.
Grossness isn't only about germs and being clean enough. For instance, pee is mostly germ free and, at least for most of us, it's still gross to drink it.
Safe to say you don't have a two-year-old, Rosa? My sister has to wear out my niece every night to get her to sleep--they even call it "running the puppy." This sounds like a perfect gadget for them. #autofetchmotionpetballpettoy

However the new gerbil-red lining on his chic green leafed vest made for the perfect thing to wear out on the town. #gerbilshirt

tl;dr - Gross isn't the same as "not being clean". #autofetchmotionpetballpettoy
