I came across a story about a Duke University engineering graduate who had created a beer tossing refrigerator. The recent grad apparently had nothing to do with his newly found free time. Longing to relive his college days he was inspired to create the beer tossing fridge. The mini-fridge is capable of tossing up to ten cans of cold beverages (aka: Beer) via remote control.
It’s stories like this that really chap my cheeks! Is this what our future engineers and scientist are working on. I know engineers and scientist are two entirely different things, but come on man! If this fledgling engineer is creating beer tossing refrigerators the future scientist must be working on stronger beer to get drunk faster.
I don’t know why this bothers me. Psychiatrist, please don’t email me and tell me why. Come on people, I’m counting on the future engineers and scientist to create me a pill that will let me live to 200 or a cryo-chamber to keep me locked up till 2090. These are the important things… Focus Damn It!
Perhaps if this devise could be reengineered to pour a shot of tequila and bring it to me, it may be worth it. Was I talking out loud?
If your interested in this sort of thing; CNN recently had an article about this guy.
