That is both very impressive and very scary. If man can control the elements does that mean pigs are going to start flying?

And they said letter writing was a lost art ;-P

...and finding Nemo

Some wag posting to the engadget comments suggested ads in toilet bowls!

I understand that IBM is going to market a dolphin main-frame. The ads will only cost a fin.

...what about MS & Adobe -- OpenToilet TT/PS

:)

I don't see how you could set centered type. You'd only be able to flush left or flush right. :-)

>OpenToilet TT/PS

I'm flush with embarrassment - we were trying to keep the lid on it! Unfortunately the new technology only supports P's, number 1's and number 2's. Despite this it can render bowls and U bends perfectly.

Cheers, Si

> Unfortunately the new technology only supports P’s, number 1’s and number 2’s.

Well, they showed "S" in the photo, which leads me to believe that H, I and T can't be far… behind.

THAT is HOT!! I am speechless. I wonder how long it will be before this is used in a commercial setting.

I don't know what's more fascinating, the actual technology, or the pun possibilities it brings.

Anyhow, it reminded me of my dear friend Hans Jenny.

Engadget is great for this type of thing... here's one with even more possibilities...

What type of font would you use on that device?

snipped

(Self-cencorship in action [it was too funny for mainstream])

I see a trend of Typophile threads becoming havens for bad (VERY bad) jokes.

sorry Paul.

I will try and Johnny-mop my jokes more next time :-)

Unfortunately until Hrant and John Hudson return from their adventures in the netherworld (I understand they have joined forces to defeat the robot gods) we must try to keep going. It may take off-topic posts, throw-away joke material, and seemingly random questions, but if we give up typophile will die. :-(

John and Hrant Join forces! Now why didn't Oprah have a Special on that?

talking urinals and mainstream
Are you making puns and selfcensoring simultaneously?

Gee wizz Tim, That could very well be :-)
I have always been a fan of multitasking.
