Your Shoes Say: No TV!

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on January 2, 2006 at 3:16 pm

Gillian Swan developed smart shoe that can determine whether its wearer has done enough exercise to watch TV!

The shoes – dubbed Square Eyes – contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s exertions.

Calf Adopted by Dog!

Posted by Alex in Animal on January 2, 2006 at 3:15 pm

Earl Best’ dog Vegas began mothering a calf named Maggie, who was rejected by her real mother after being born more than a week ago.

The farmer’s family has decided to keep Maggie as a family pet, allowing her to escape the fate of so many other cattle.

Maybe the mama cow knows something afterall.

From the website:

The first of an anticipated 500 fiber-glass cows has made its appearance last in Moscow’s Central Mall off the Red Square. In fact, between August and October, cows will literally dot the metropolis — in various shapes, sizes, colors, and even sounds.
