The cause of and the solution to all of life’s problems
It was just the other day here on JAPUDIT that we had a story about a Japanese robot that serves tea.
Well, it didn’t talk long for a little Yankee ingenuity to kick in and come up with a robotic innovation that addresses one of the most pressing questions that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time. . . What if instead of me going to get the beer, the beer came to me?
United States inventor John Cornwell has created a fridge that will throw you a cold beer on request. The remote-control operated fridge can feed a beer into an adjustable aim catapult that is capable of throwing a can up to 10 feet.
The fridge has a 10-can magazine and can hold a further 14 reserve cans. “I thought, ‘What if instead of me going to get the beer, the beer came to me?’” John said.
“About three months later I have a fully automated, remote-controlled, catapulting, beer-launching mini-fridge,” he continued, “There is a slight danger of being hit in the head with a flying can but this danger decreases the more you use it.”

I was thinking the opposite is true.

Hmmm, I would have thought the opposite:???:

March 3rd, 2007 at 8:38 pmNow what I really need is a dating assistant robot to help get rid of pesky friends when I am out on the town.
I can see the podcast commercials now…
“Can’t get rid of that annoying mother hen, cock blocked by that annoying friend who just won’t find her own boyfriend and leave the rest of us alone, sick of your game being interfered with by some pathetic puppy dog prick who couldn’t fuck her, and doesn’t want you to either…
Well look no further than Wingbot!

That’s because the more you use it, the better a chance you’ll have to by lying on the ground, comatose from all the beer. Yes, I’m a lightweight and 4 beers is too much for me. Expend half of the “magazine” and I’m out and sleeping in the hallway. Or the stairs. I prefer the stairs, actually.
Interesting juxtaposition: the Japanese make a polite servant, the Americans make something that assaults the user and is slightly more dangerous. I think this demonstrates clearly one of the fundamental differences between our cultures.
Still, quite fun, no?
March 4th, 2007 at 7:42 amI’ve found the solution, a jello shot refrigerator.
Besides, if your that afraid of a flying beer, there are already reclining couches with built in refrigerators that are built for methy-technophobes like yourself.
As for the cultural difference, Kresh, it has nothing to do with violence. It comes from the fact that Americans get into our sports games (also these games correlate to a large extent with the time we spend on the couch drinking beer). We like to feel as if we are in the game, and this robot “passes” the beer to us, allowing us to engage in the fantasy. This fantasy has prevented by homicides and suicides by allowing us to pretend that we could be sex symbols that are adored by young and old, before we go back to our day job selling life insurance to paranoid parents for $200 a month.
The Japanese robot on the other hand, with its grace and elegance, is meant to simulate the Japanese girlfriend that the average owner never have or couldn’t keep. It is also made up like a gundum to engage the average owners childhood fantasies that they one day might be a gundum pilot or that the samurai would one day come back in robot form, expelling the foreign barbarians with their magical phallic symbol or a sword. This allows the Japanese to fantasize that he is someone of importance with an interesting social life, when in truth they are just recently divorced salary men closet otaku who haven’t left their apartment (with the exeption of going to work) for 20 years and haven’t been laid in 30. This prevents many homicides and suicides by letting the owner imagine for a brief period of time that he was an American.
