Aug 13 2007Electronic Meat Sniffer
For those of you out there that like to cook, here's a little something to help determine if the meat that someone slaps on your grill is safe to eat. With the push of a button the SensorfreshQ Freshness Meter will let you know if meat is fresh (green light), must be used soon (yellow), or nasty (red). Apparently red is defined as when "the bacteria colony count exceeds 10 million colony forming units per gram." I don't know what that means but it sounds frightening. As a side note, I tested my meat and got the yellow light, so time is limited ladies - to the basement (but be quiet, my mom is sleeping).

I have one of these. It's called my nose. It was kind of a package deal I've ad since birth.

He didn't even say first! Gasp!
Anyway, Seems like a clever idea if you ask me, Especially for barbeque's, Next they should invent one that tells you if the meat is cooked enough.

this reminds me of when I took my blind grandpa on a walk on the pier. as we passed the fish market, he took a whiff and said, "good morning, ladies!"

Does it work on other foods? I 'm a veggo.
Seems like a useless standalone invention. perhaps if it was bulit into a refridgerator that scans stored food.

Your favourite idea sucks.

That's an interesting color indication system. It's actually the opposite my grandmother's. When the meat is red, it's good to eat. When it turns green, she throws it out.

If it smells like provolone, leave it alone.

You know, I read that as the wrong kind of meat...it really does look like a sex toy...just so you know...

Wonder what colour it'd go if i put it on my penis?...I'm thinking yellow.
10. and what? - August 13, 2007 12:09 PM
That's weird, it's like that joke was already made...

@2 There are conventional, widely used , and simple (did i mention free) methods to test the cookedness of meat. Check google for cooking tips or ask a chef :P

try it out on my girlfriend, see if those panty liners are really keeping her fresh.

Why does mankind continously produce complicated items to perform the simplest tasks?
Granted that the snif-o-meter looks pretty easy to use, but what a waste of technology!!!
Sniffing is something you can´t avoid doing! If the thingie can smell the crap you are cooking, i´m sure so can you.
If it could be hacked to sniff a girl and tell if she wanted to have sex, THEN it would be interesting.
Although in my case, the yelow and red lights would be unneccesary. Girls always give me green light.

Fun.
I bet if you scanned people, it'd tell you how long they had to live.
Sorry, Mr. Geekologie. You'll die soon.

If she wants to have sex.. probably not. But, I'm almost certain one of these could be invented to determine if a girl is on her period. Still useful, in its way.

A hyphen is used to join words together, whereas a dash (what you're looking for, Geekologie writer) is commonly represented by two hyphens with a space on either side, or three hyphens with no space.
Hyphen: "A syrup-like substance."
Dash: "I have too many apples in my room -- even though I really do love them -- and there is not enough room for me to sleep" or "I enjoy the taste of semen---bitter as it is---and I really can't get enough of it."
