Are you have trouble with your kids not being sleep deprived enough, and not waking up screaming on a nightly basis? We have the solution for you!
Behold, the Epidermits: 
Called "the scaryiest toy concept ever" by Wired Gadget Labs, the Epidermits is tattoable, pierceable, and can have its hair and skin custom ordered! 
That's Epidermits... putting the Trauma back in Childhood. 
(Honestly, I can't tell if this is real or a hoax yet. Snopes hasn't heard of them yet, and the original article is by Cory Doctorow. Who, you know, writes fiction for a living.)

(Actually, with this "engineered human tissue" it HAS to be a hoax. But I hope nobody would ever make a synthetic version, either!)

Which, quite frankly, is probably a good thing.

Well, it looks like it can walk. Oh, and you can refridgerate it. Which I'm sure all of you love the idea of. Finally, an ACTUAL science experiment in the fridge!

Actually, if that was real, I could see a market for it (or something like it anyway).
It would be great for aspiring tattoo artists to practice on. Perhaps it would be more realistic than the dummy arm that nurses learning to give IVs practice on. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have someone who practiced than someone who hadn't! |
