Blind Soldier Uses Tongue To "See"
Zen found this story about a blind soldier using a lollypop-sized tongue sensor to 'see.' The system actually enables him to walk and read unaided. The guy says, "It feels like licking a nine-volt battery or like popping candy. The camera sends signals down onto the lollypop and onto your tongue, you can then determine what they mean and transfer it to shapes."
Thank god this system uses a camera and a tongue sensor. The title made me think of that creepy guy on the bus that licks everything.
I'd rather you rationally disagree than irrationally agree.
He has his problem licked!
"Ith theelth ike hicking a gnine-holt batthery or hike popping khandy."
From this guy's experience, a majority of stuff looks just like chicken.
With all the exercise this guy gets, I'll bet he's very popular with the ladies.
Perfect new technology for judging wet tee shirt contests...
I deny that I have not avoided attaining the opposite of that which I do not want.
The pasta is noticeably triangular, with mild hints of rhomboids and parallelograms. The finish is decidedly circular, which earns this dish a top rating. Four stars!
Speaking of bad movies, imagine this guy doing De Niro's Taxi Driver thing... "You lickin' at me? Are you licking at ME?"
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
