@Zom-B: I guess so because I still don't get it.

@GitEmSteveDave: I have no idea. I just thought it looked big for what a surveillance device made from today's technology should look like.

Bulgaria isn't doing much to stop the stereotype of being a relatively backward nation stuck in the past when they use surveillance devices that look like they're from the 80s.

@Sergio526: Well there's this, but it's just a concept at the moment.

@Mike Zuniga : Bah, Humbug: I read an interview with Hawking where he was asked why he didn't upgrade his voice synthesizer to something that sounds more realistic and he says he wouldn't because he considers that to be his actual voice now.

@mtf612: If you have a practical definition for what is and what is not art, I'm sure the world would love to hear it.

@Super Chill Yorkshire Lad: The name sort of indicates that it's not especially practical for repeated use.

@Cyrulean: I remember that. I also remember the disappointment. Fuck you, McDonalds, I deserved to win for listening to that stupid song all the way through.

@Sergio526: 20 years? Try today.

@twoeightnine: It could just be a Facebook app...

@Jeriba: I'm still not anywhere near that talented.

@Smeagol92055: Little Nemo already has a doctor. Doctor Pill.

@CarrerCrytharis: We don't even know what a TARDIS with the chameleon circuit off looks like.
