First gadgets led thy astray from those sweet watery
suds and now bringeth thy back. Two Germans by the names of Schmitz and Butz (te he) have created a Philip
Morris beer coaster with integrated pressure sensor and radio transmitter to signal bar staff when your beer
is almost empty. Presumably, this is just the first step to replace all bar staff with
robots so that we can once again suck down those glorious
plumes of tasty arsenic and copper-laden red packs with impunity.
Shouldn't that be THEE rather than THY?
That glass is half foam half beer. That's one bar I WON'T be going to visit soon.
I wonder what kind of signal it sends when you pass out w/ your head on the beer mat.
Hopfully the robot waitresses are hot. I dont want no ugly robot serving my beer!
Jeepster - that's a good old lager German style. No foam and they'd send it back
Geez, what's next -- how to build a tin foil wizard hat for the next SCA meeting? If you must impose inexplicably anachronistic talk on us, at least do it right:
Thou is the old second person singular pronoun of the English language. Thou is the nominative case; the oblique/objective (functioning as both accusative and dative) is thee, and the genitive is thy or thine. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thy)
Actually, some guys came up with an almost identical concept a few years ago. (Sorry, can't recall who/where)
But that short walk to the bar is always useful to make sure you can still actually walk when you plan to leave
ENKELT GOUD!
