Solitary Drinking Need Not Be Lonely

We mentioned about a year ago that a brilliant Russian scientist had invented a talking bottle cap and I am pleased to announce that the idea has finally reached reality. As the BBC reports (tip of the glass to Ed), the vodka bottle cap not only offers an encouraging toast, the voice also slurs more with each successive opening. Oh, we may not have the flying cars the Jetson’s promised, but this is right up there.

Of course, once this splendid innovation reaches our shores, MADD and the rest of their ilk will raise a hue and cry and the great debate will begin: Does the First Amendment apply to non-sentient objects? Mark my words, they will employ the Spuds McKenzie/Hamm’s Bear gambit and say its novel nature is designed to appeal to underage drinkers. Which, of course, is ridiculous.
