Company Creates a Self-Making Bed
MarkWhittington writes "A Spanish company has created a bed that will make itself. Ordinarily I am excited about just about any technological advance, but this one leaves me wondering what it's good for. It might be that as a rather slovenly housekeeper, I do not see the purpose of making a bed. The idea of being able to bounce a coin off of a sheet that has been stretched tight seems to have been an invention of moms and drill sergeants to torment people. Why make up a bed in the morning when it's just going to be unmade that evening (or sooner if one likes an afternoon nap?) When I was a lad, dreaming of the wonders that awaited in the 21st century, among the flying cars, colonies on the moon and jet packs, self-making beds somehow escaped by imagination, even as my sainted mom forced me to make mine before heading out to school."
When I get out of bed, the first thing I do is make sure it is properly made...
Likewise, when I take off my shoes, the first thing I do is lace them up...

Answer:
To demonstrate to your future girlfriend that you aren't a slob.
Also because wife says so.
This! ^^^
Sometimes the best answer is because my wife likes it that way. ^_^
But this device would be utterly useless to my wife, unless there is an optional accessory that carefully places the (no fewer than) 7 pillows that for some reason belong on our 2-person bed.
Eloi are stupid, throw morlocks at them!
you don't lose all the nuts and bolts from the engine you're rebuilding on it.
Listen, if there's no chance of the party extending into the bedroom, I don't wanna go.

Wife? Oh please.
