The fact that there exists something that let me write the phrase "adorable toilet-scrubbing robot" in all honesty and seriousness just goes to show you that the US needs to step up the robotics research, and fast. Otherwise we're going to be overrun by cute, pastel deathdroids that smile and twitter in high-pitched voices as they blast us with glittery rainbow lasers of doom.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/
Also, I want to see the other side of the elephant. Watching it cover a urinal and make lots of noise just isn't that impressive.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 23rd 2008 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/
That made the Pepsi i was drinking come out of my nose.
Bravo, My Friend, Bravo.

I can still feel the bubbles in my nose. ITCHY!!

Thanks for the laugh]]>Apr 22nd 2008 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 23rd 2008 3:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 23rd 2008 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/
I have to admit, as odd as this is, it's creative. Just think what the japaneese would have done if they invented the zamboni? It's be pastel orange, be a cute tiger, and probably have TWO hats.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/I only just noticed.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/

"Sir, what if we had the women push robotic blue cleaning elephants in yellow hats up to the urinals to do the work instead?"

If the Elephant went around by itself backing up to urinals to clean them, then yeah, it would be a robot. This? Just a glorified steam cleaner.

Unless something really intense is happening at the ass end of the blue beast. Like, lasers and stuff.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/
Imagine how much more impressive it would be if we had a toilet trained elephant lumbering from one urinal to the next practicing its aim.

Of course, if it was autonomous, there would always be the horrific possibility of the silly blue giant accidentally shoving someone face-first into a urinal and then soaking them with anti-bacterial detergent.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/urinal-elephants-invade-japan/Apr 22nd 2008 1:45PM
