Optical Mice Used To Detect Counterfeit Coins

JimXugle writes "El Mundo reports that Spanish researchers at The University of Lleida have used a modified optical mouse to detect counterfeit €2 coins (Original article, in Spanish) with a success rate comparable to that of an expert trained to do so. Details are to be published freely in the journal Sensors."

Synopsis: The tow-ture truck is a vehicle operated by the fire department for the purpose of punishing those who work on their cars in public parking lots. It is driven by stoic surfer dudes. It has an inverted bed on the back which is full of instruments of torture as well as a robot arm to pull people under for punishment.

Tow-ture truck operator :

This is the tow-ture truck.

[ Two men are tending to a beat-up primer gray Chevy Nova in a public parking lot. One of them is under the rear, fixing it, and the other is standing to the side of the Nova. The tow-ture truck operator attaches his winch hook to the rear bumper of the Nova. The man standing to the side of the Nova grabs the cable and begins to spin it in defiance of the tow-ture truck operator. The spinning cable resembles the probability density plot of the hydrogen wavefunction when seen from above. ]

Tow-ture truck operator :

First, don't spin my cable,
which is a solution to
the partial differential equations
schroedinger knew

the direction field follows
a blurry twist
which is why, if you can't see it,
it dosen't exist.

[ The winch on the tow-ture truck begins to pull the rear of the Nova upwards as the man under it, previously oblivious to the spectacle, asks, "what the hell?" as a robot arm extends from under the tow-ture truck and grabs him by is ankle. He is being pulled under the tow-ture truck, enclosed on all sides by metal walls and the ground below. he is trapped under the towture truck when it begins to move slowly... ]

Tow-ture truck operator :

next, we back over you
till you're under the bed
if you cant keep up, the motorized tailgate
will crush your head.

as long as you keep crawling,
I'll go slow enough for you,
but if I vent the coolant plugs
I may turn you to stew.

One more thing --
there is no way...you can crawl out the sides,
50 Kilovolt lightning rods
will fry your fuckin' hide.
