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."
He has his problem licked!
From this guy's experience, a majority of stuff looks just like chicken.
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!
