It's one thing to exemplify laziness; it's another to buck the habit just long enough to invent something to keep you idler, longer. Enter Enrico Berruti, an everyday fellow who has created something that almost anyone with a bed could see as useful. His Selfy bed, quite simply, uses a variety of moving parts, bars and linens to make itself at the push of a button. To be fair, Mr. Berruti was thinking of disabled individuals who would have a difficult time making their own traditional bed when conjuring this thing up, but he didn't hesitate to mention his own indolence as motivation. Hopefully there's some kind of safety feature to prevent users from accidentally activating the thing while they're still snoozing -- can't imagine that being any fun.[Via Physorg, image courtesy of AFP / Getty Images]
But does it play doom?
But do you get any?
Shut up.
Great, with all these robots doing the chores the wife will be pushed to extinction.
Where do I Preorder?
Does it STFU?
Fifth Element, anyone?
isn't that what mom is for?
Congrats! A "Highest Ranking" on every post. That is the equivalent of hitting for the nerd cycle!!
*jealous*
not with that bed I dont
Almost as convenient as "just not making your bed!"
With wives extinct, prostitution will be on the rise to ensure our species lives on.
so that essentially will mean, "your mother is a whore" will no longer be an insult, just a reality? that sucks.
That was supposed to be a reply to Lowest Ranked.
GOGOGO comments system!
for the love of steve jobs, if you don't tell us which reply of a reply you were trying to refer to with this reply of a reply to a reply, how the vista are we supposed to know what you're talking about?
this comment IS the most relevant:" "
I need to purchase one of those!
Those bars seem like they would make a pain in the ass to get in and out bed.
I DEMAND that he be made an example of!
Ban his ass.
side note:
Your stupid comment system isn't adding replies.
Necessity is the mother of invention... but laziness is assuredly the father...
What do you do when your automatic bed-maker stops working? Kick her.
Unless fembots are next in line for production, I don't think so.
Gah, reply doesn't work. This was aimed at:

I dont see the point in making my bed. I'm gonna sleep in it again the same evening and it gets messed up. I just leave it as is and get into bed again next time.
ENGADGET!! FIX YOUR F**KING COMMENTS!!! Only a handful of people can reply.
right on! I've had it up to here *places hand horizontally above head* with you guys.
*realizes i can reply - lowers hand to around chest level but stares menacingly at engadget nonetheless*
just click on the date/time under the username of the person to whom you wish to reply.
There's still one "chore" robots can't do.
ooooo, fun. i love guessing games.
take out the trash? change the oil? beat the kids? what is it man, speak up!
win the super bowl?
hahaha, mad reps to phanbouy, son. now if only matt walsh would stop being such a pansy and release those tapes. screw paris hilton (NOT literally - i prize being disease free) and her tapes, those are the ones i want to see.
Well that makes perfect sense! *shakes head*
dude... i knew the verizon guy was good for something besides just annoying the shit out of me
The height of laziness is the person who takes a dump in the bed and then pushes it down to the end with their feet.
*sigh* Thank god it's Friday. I couldn't handle another day of commenting on the wrong comments and making myself look like a larger ass!
Real lazy people don't bother moving from the TV/sofa combo to go to bed.
*lowers head in shame*
*points and laughs because Bb's bulbous chins do not allow his head to sink any lower - quickly stops laughing because it's getting hard to breathe from the exercise of lifting up arm to point*
I don't make my bed. It's so much easier to get into when I get home from night school when it's not made.
oh definitely, bro. because those blankets, man, they're just so heavy to lift.
I think engadget should have a mass workout session considering how all many of us seem to call day to day tasks "heavy lifting".
Billy Idol has trouble moving his sheets. Who knew?
It looks like those side rails fold up when not being used to make the bed. Just don't sit up too fast.
best line ever
One of the best quotes I've read in my life.
I saved it. Well said!
Exhibit Q of fallout from broken-ass reply system
don't worry, i'll straighten this out. he was just replying to me somewhere, i know it.
*puffs out chest - shirt explodes from bulging pectoral muscles - all females within 25 mile radius are immediately impregnated from the breath of my nostrils*
I'm sure they sell an attachment for a Fleshlight...
He has an Acer what do you think?
i don't know.. but for some reason "Dude you got an Acer!" just came to mind
The other invention is better, some filter fitting in the nostrils.
"Most people do not have enough nose hair," (the doctor said). I should put this on a T-shirt.
