Alcohol without liquid, and chembots
I saw an alcohol vaporizer on Law and Order– never heard of such a thing– so I looked it up, and discovered AWOL, the Alcohol without liquid device. The user puts in a cartridge with their choice of beverage, and the device percolates oxygen bubbles through the liquor; the user then inhales the fumes. These are supposedly the shit in Asia and the UK.
The comments at Engadget are hilarious:
If only they could figure out way to combine cigarette smoke with the alcohol — that would be so much more efficient. Oxygen? Who needs that?!
Sitting at the bar and casually sipping your martini, or sitting at the bar and sucking down fumes from a large plastic dick?
In a freak coincedence, while checking my gmail I saw a link to a more interesting engadget blurb on a new Darpa project proposal, asking for shape-shifting robots. I’d like to read the white papers that are submitted.
