Super Door of the Future

    I don't know about the door, but I will buy it if I girl is included in the package.

    What will happen to all those cool movie scenes where people kick down doors and bust in with guns blazing?

    Because the thing seems to have enough as it is.

    They're gonna need a triple wide version if they want to sell this to McDonalds.

    I'll look into it when it comes with Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's new GPP feature.

  6. Fat Ass Accomodation by Loundry · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't wait for the thoughts and comments of this door opening exactly enough to accomodate the fat ass of a pear-shaped person.

    You know what I'm talking about. Sometimes you see a person who has a really fat ass. There's nothing wrong with having a big fat ass, but you still look at it. Hell, maybe you're even turned on by it. Polite society requries us not to mention it. But it's practiacally an eye-magnet. With super glue on it. And extra gravity (due to mass).

    But the door, by nature not constrained to the whims of polite society, will "mention" it.

    Or what if the door's sensors/algorithm fails and the person's fat ass gets stuck in the door? I suppose that would be even worse.

      I think the door should audibly announce the maximum width it had to open to. Additionally it should record daily maximums and announce if an object exceeds the current record.

    Dude, its Japan.

    They got Toilets with heated seats probably playing AM/FM radio while spraying hot water on your ass.

    Ha ha ha, typical technician response.

    I remember a salesman trying to talk me into a Nissan Murano by telling me that there is a seperate computer controling the torque and brakeing for each tire. Greeeeaaaaattt, just what I want, instead of a blue screen of death I get a firey scream of death?

    Are you sure you weren't just taking a dump in some restaurant's kitchen sink? It seems to fit all the criteria :P
