Pro-Active Furniture Assembly

Gudlyf writes "Stavros Antifakos, of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, has designed "clever" furniture pieces with built-in microprocessors that could relieve the confusion, anger and frustration of putting them together. The idea includes a flat-pack furniture kit whose parts are fitted with cheap microprocessors that monitor what you are doing during assembly and will warn you if you are doing something wrong or dangerous."

    Here's our jingle for Goatse®
    We wrote a song for Goatse

    The wholesome back that smiles back
    until you bite his balls off!

    See the goatses stretching...
    Oh look the JonKatz's winning...

    Didn't that make you feel good about Goatse?

    Here's our Jingle for Goatse
    Stretchy little Goatse

    Oh good we're at the part
    Where we show that he's straight and not queer

    Did you know they're made
    with real anus
    Even though they look like pussy

    The back that smiles back Goatse.

    Well, sort of. IKEA prevents you from inury and/or incorrect furniture assembly by being sold out of EVERY FUCKING PRODUCT they sell. I have no fucking idea how that socialist liberal urban-decay bullshit company stays in business, since every time my fucking yuppie cunt wife forces me into the store they're "temporarily oversold in this item." Fucking GOOD because I don't need that cheap ass shit in my house, but FUCK I could have just stayed home and watched the game and not put up with all that pretentious bullshit. UP YOURS IKEA you sumbitches

    Cmdr Taco... There is an unacceptable level of undigested sperm in your feces. This can be from a low acid content in your stomach, a ruptured vas deferens close to the colon or....
    Nevermind.

    Is the ramification this will have on furniture. Will that bookshelf be covered under the DMCA if the chips is programmed under a proprietary license?
