Are You Bowlingual?

For the suckers aspiring Dr. Dolittles out there, you may want to check out the Bowlingual Voice translator! According to the products description, it was "developed by Takara Tomy, a Japanese toy company -- this little gadget is supposed to translate your dog’s feelings into words you can understand. The gadget can tell you if your dog is sad, joyful, alert to danger, needy, happy or frustrated."

But you'll also have to be fluent in Japanese first since this is a Japanese product currently only available with Japanese translations. Interesting to note the kind of entrepreneurial undertakings the allegedly superior Japanese education system is producing!

This device could be a godsend to police departments everywhere! Bring in Rover, sit him under a hot lamp with one of these babies strapped on, and let the dog bite interrogation begin!

Have a good long weekend!
