That picture is a fail for 2 reasons... No one uses the Imperial system of measuring, except for those living in the past, and kilometre is spelt wrong (and no, don't tell me that's how the americans spell it, because they don't use the term kilometres - they use miles etc...)

If you use Imperial measurements, fractions look better than decimals.  Kind of defeats the purpose.

1 km = about 3/5 mile

Considering most (normal) people don't know how much a mile is, they're going to be screwed having to figure and guesstimate how long 3/5ths of a mile is.

What looks nicer: 

1 km

or

3/5 mile

5,280 feet.  Everyone in the US is supposed to know that.
1km = 3,280.84 feet


That's a very clean wall up there visitor.  Those things would need to scrub around the light switches more and run over the switch itself.  Who's walls are getting that dirty that they need to clean them?  I've actually done that maybe three times ever since I've lived in apartments.

WHAT THE HECK is that thing??? It looks like a possessed Roomba that can defy gravity... and looks evil.

1km = 1,000m
1m = 5,280 ft, or 1760 yards

Yeah. so much easier... not.

I thought the wall must be textured somehow.  How the heck does this thing grip the wall?

Here's the ad...

(Nice haircut.)

Is this a joke?  Just turn the camera so it looks like it's driving on walls?


Apparently not.  I wonder if it uses air to suction/vacuum itself to the wall.



Yep, suction.  So it's noisy and wouldn't work on every surface.  Plus, none of the videos show it changing from one wall to another to the ceiling.  It's just going to drain the battery and fall off the wall.

You know, sadly enough somewhere, someone is probably buying that stuff, putting it into little bags and handing it to the kids on the street... getting them addicted...



...to candy. And now we know why America is obese.

Well... I'm in a good mood because I read this.

For those who aren't interested in reading... here's the end statement:

"432 Hz seems to be just another number without any special significance over others."

That's not poltergeists for goodness sake... that's just different lighting on a moving train causing the shadows to slightly flicker as it moves along.

PATHETIC!!! You'll have to do better than that. May I just point out that I almost won this thread after no one posted for almost an entire week. You know I'm going to win it, so you may as well just give up now.
