Writing on Standing Water 166
A reader writes "Engadget is reporting on Japanese scientists who have found a way to 'write' characters on the surface of water using waves. This looks very cool - but the time required to change character seems very high (15-30 seconds). From the article: 'Liquid-based displays are nothing new -- in a vertical orientation, at least -- but apparently it's a lot more difficult to coax a standing pool of water into forming recognizable shapes and characters.'"

When a women sees the "U R Preggers" in the toilet water, she has the option to purchase a morning after pill from the dispenser built into the tank.
The toilets could also upload the bowl results through the tubes, although the internets might get blocked by all that tp.

So, it isn't enough that every square centimeter of every wall is full of flashing, blinking, annoying crap that tries to make me buy something; now I can't even watch the sky without some moronic vitamin supplement ad getting in the way ?
Or, once script kiddies get to the wave generators, goatse clouds. Hmm... Now that I think of it, maybe they could put the goatse cloud somewhere it fits - like, say, mooning the House of Representatives, to give them a fitting reward for their work ?
