HEMA. "You can't order anything and it's in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer." [via Friend Christy]
Talk to the Machine. The Phraselator -- "This is a (large) PDA-size device that emits perfectly pronounced words and phrases when the user picks them from a list on the PDA screen, or speaks the English version into a microphone." My personal favorite part: "The Department of Defense has bought nearly ten thousand so far, and the troops agree that it sure beats sign language or thumbing through a phrase book. The locals like it because it's yet another neat American gadget, and one that won't kill them as well." [via Friend Steve]
And the Greenest Car in America is ... Is it the obvious choice, perhaps?
Idioms in Code (Take a Guess). Fun for those what can read C-style programming language code. Example:
// idiom 9
prey = 'worm';
time = getCurrentTime();
if (time >= 4 && time <= 8) {
bird.catch(prey);
}
