So, who is it meant to warn? Or would it just tweet
your status to friends and followers? |
|
|
Can you please add a remote speaker that can be placed a seat or two away? It could be triggered by the unfortunate event, making enough sound so that a potential accusers attention will be diverted long enough to provide plausible deniability... |

I don't get the jest of this, but do want to say hi to

// turning it off would be a challenge //
I see feasible to train peristaltic movements to be detected as gestures in the touch screen. The real problem is to introduce the device with the proper amount of tactil surface . |

[blissmiss]: He's referring to the use of canaries in late 19th to early 20th century mines to warn of gaseous emmissions from coal mines which could suffocate miners or explode. That's the gasses, not the canaries. |
|
|
This version might be usefully connected to minors. |
|
|
Okay, get it to some degree. Thanks for the
explanation. Must be a language barrier. |
|
|
Looking at this first thing in the morning, I read it as "Rectal Cattery", which brought some mental images I would prefer never to remember... |
|

Hello blissmiss - big grin :) |
|
|
As it happens, an old friend of mine's PhD related to novel electronic detectors using biological components (no
recta involved; nor canaries). He explained it to me once and I said "a bit like a canary in a cage then" and he
said "yes ... sort of". |
|
|
Twenty five years later at a recent get together I reminded him of his research contribution and, over the port,
added the rectum. He is now something of a big cheese in marketing so his first response was "I can't see the
market for it". |
|
|
Immediately, I knew there was but one place for it. |
|
|
Was this the port of Amsterdam? |
|
|
on the other hand, reading this as "Rectal Cannery" could then be done as a remake of Cannery Row, which I'm sure Steinbeck would have approved of. |
