Robo mouth


Hunts for Sarah Connor, makes caterwauling noises when she's sighted.

Kagawa University in Japan develops a frighteningly realistic robot mouth that can directly simulate human speech. The engineers claim that this is a prototype, but in its present stage of development it could easily replace a large percentage of my old bosses and professors.

Ah, I was wondering why it was giving the vowels in the order, a-i-u-e-o, as in Japanese.

A-yup, good old-fashioned nightmare fuel right there. If it doesn't catch Miss Connor, it will have her sleeping with a night-light for sure.
