I need to get me one of these.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on a high-tech device with seemingly a multitude of uses in lessening our crushing overload of banality: a boredom detector. A talker, via a wearable camera and software that measures facial expressions and movements, could know whether he has lost touch with a listener (via signals from eyebrows, lips, nose, etc.). The device was designed for the autistic (who are typically oblivious of other people's reactions), but would be useful to anyone underskilled at being interesting. So far, the software is said to be accurate 64 percent of the time, according to a March report in New Scientist. [bBC News, 3-29-06]

I think, for most of us here, it's not that we lack things that would alleviate boredom, it's that we have no legal means of using a tranquilizer dart gun on those people directly responsible for it.

Maybe this would be more effective? my alter ego

[G-spotter]

my boring detector went off while readin this thread

[archenemy]

then you need to talk to my alter ego

[roboboy]

We're already familiar with your alter ego and so far it hasn't worked. I think your best bet now is love and kindness.

[archenemy]

I tried that--it doesn't work.

[roboboy]

you're right, that would actually be boring

[jmace]

Maybe that contract thing would work for you then..?

Call me a women's libber, but I insist on shaving my pussy any way I wish.

[jmace]

hahaha, right on!

Perhaps that contract is what Arch puts on the table when interviewing prospective male friends. Except the roles are reversed. Might explain a lot.

I no longer date men who can read. My life is easier now.

Hmmmm. That pretty much limits your age range to <4 or >80. Good luck.

Except of course for most portions of the PNW outside Puget Sound and the Willamette Valley

Do you accept braille-reading applicants ? It could be a handy skill for a mate.
