Talking Plate

Juniper Foo | Dec 27, 2006

Forget diets. The Talking Plate will shame you into watching those Christmas and New Year calories you are about to, or have piled on. Ukrainian scientist Dr Hryhory Chausouvsky ma have taken on more than he can chew, with a plate that will scold you for being a glutton, lipping off with stock phrases like "where's your willpower?" and "stop right there"! It'll even beep a discreet alarm when the maximum allowable amount is piled on the dish. And if your cutlery strikes the plate much too rapidly, it will play fast and aggressive music. And we thought the Academy Awards' imposed time limit for speeches was bad. Lest you're tempted to hurl this nagging plate into the bin, remember that this is one pricey invention. It comes attached to a contact sensor and palm-sized computer. This good doctor also lays (and we say that loosely) claim to inventing a musical condom with built-in motion detector, which lets sex partners vary the music played according to the intensity of their love-making.
