"Passing" your life away with video games

Ever wondered how many coffee cans you could fill at the urinal? Toylet knows.

Toylet, a urinal-mounted gaming device created by Sega, is now on the market for the general public according to the official Toylet twitter feed.

The equipment starts at 140,000 yen ($1,748) with games costing 10,000 yen ($125) apiece, according to Engadget Japan. An optional box that accepts 10-yen coins as payment is also available for 25,000 yen ($312).

Players interact with Toylet by urinating on a sensor placed inside the urinal that measures volume and pressure. That input controls the videogame, shown on a screen mounted at eye level. The games include filling coffee cans, squirting milk out of a tough guy’s nose and blowing wind up a girl’s skirt. Each game lasts less than a minute and can be followed by a advertisement placed by the operator.

facebook guilt

Facebook allows us to communicate in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago.  Unfortunately, some things can not be overcome by technology, so, in addition to status updates and family pictures, we also get the latest evolution of chain letters.  I have always hated chain letters because they function off of guilt.  That's why, even when I see a message with a good cause, I won't repost it if it motivates by guilt.

You've seen the posts.  Some urge you to repost if you are a caring person, implying that you are a jerk or an idiot if you won't spread their pet message.  Other posts  fall in the category of slactivisism--you know the kind, repost this or a child won't get her last wish.  Of course, you also see the traditional chain letter--share this and you will have good luck, don't share this and you will have bad luck.  I find these especially offensive when the originator tries to attribute their message to God--as if He hasn't been misrepresented enough.

To alieviate my own frustrations with these ridiculous posts, I created a few with my own sarcastic spin.  Share them on facebook or all of your skin will melt off like that guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Speech-Jamming Gun - Technology Review

This is one of those things that would be cool to have, but not cool for other people to have.

Cosmetic surgery stretches short people

A Florida surgeon performed 650 "height surgeries" last year, and one man who was unhappy with his 5-foot-6 frame reportedly "grew" a full six inches.

 

The "cosmetic limb-lengthening" process helps people suffering from height dysphoria (i.e., they hate being short). "It's one of the few psychologic-psychiatric disorders that you can actually cure with the knife," says Dr. Dror Paley -- who, incidentally, will need to break your leg bone in two and insert a telescopic rod to stretch you about a millimeter a day.

While checking out the happenings on FoxNews.com, I found an article highlighting first views of the dark side of the moon.  Videos on Fox News are preceded by a commercial, and this one seemed particulary well placed.
