Apr 30 2007Print messages on toast
Most people like to use paper for their printing needs, but not me. I like to use toast. Good old fashioned toast. Thankfully, these guys have created the world's first toaster printer by mounting a hot air gun to a computer controlled system. Totally unnecessary? Or the most necessary thing ever since the history of inventions. Only time will tell.

Wait till they start printing ads on your meals!
You order 2 eggs sunny side up, and end up with an ad for 'Shop at Walmart' on your toast.

Finally, a way to put unmistakable images of Jesus and Virgin Mary onto food. Now, once your grilled cheese has sold for $300 on ebay, you can immediately put your frenchtoast up for auction. Its a money-making machine!

Cool, now I can start mass producing Jesus Toast! And maybe a Virgin Mary toast too! Or what about the Flying Spaghetti Monster on toast?

Finally, a way to read the written word during breakfast!
Before this I only had those pesky newspapers, laptops, Blackberries, cereal boxes, breakfast burrito wrappers, cell phones, novelty spoons, snarky pajamas, books, television news channels, iPods, flyers, refrigerator magnets, and souvenir placemats to keep me company.

You too, eh Propellor Tool? I almost miss those simple, if illiterate, days.
16. woodhorse - May 1, 2007 4:38 PM
you could really make a fortune if you can set that to burn pictures of Jesus in the bread......

Man, I love Three Dog Night.
"The toast is black, the bread is white
Together we learn to read and write
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful si-i-ight!"
