Oct 14 2008Army Wants Thought-Sending Helmet Made
A new army grant seeks to develop a helmet that can convey messages simply by thinking them.
Known as synthetic telepathy, the technology is based on reading electrical activity in the brain using an electroencephalograph, or EEG. Similar technology is being marketed as a way to control video games by thought.
"I think that this will eventually become just another way of communicating," said Mike D'Zmura, from the University of California, Irvine and the lead scientist on the project."It will take a lot of research, and a lot of time, but there are also a lot of commercial applications, not just military applications," he said.
Interesting, but I feel like there might be too much room for error.
*sending thought messages* Enemies at twelve o'clock. Let's flank them from the left. And 3,2....Jesus, Lieutenant Bridge's ass looks good in that camo. Shit. I'm not gay, I'm not gay!
Helmet to Convey Messages by Thought [discovery]
Thanks to Tracy, who read my mind: boobs. And also, pork chop sandwiches.

When there's something strange and it don't look good. Who you gonna call?

And then google would come along and design it so you couldn't relay thoughts while intoxicated.

Pfff, I wear one of these every day to work. I use it to type. Sometimes it messes up and doesn't shut off when I'm done though.
*I wonder what the Geekologie Writer looks like... Maybe it's not a guy at all, but a really cool chick. But then again, most really cool chicks are fat and/or ugly. Maybe the GW is a really cool, really hot chick... Omg, I think I'm falling for the GW. Does it even matter if it's guy or chick? Yes! Yes, of course it matter! WTF is wrong with me? Oh God I want to lick his balls... I MEAN TITS!!! I WANT TO LICK HIS TITS!! HER TITS! HER TITS, NOT HIS! HER TITS AND BALLS!!*
f***

Fake!!
Its an obvious photoshop job. You can tell, the shadows are all wrong.
I think the artist was trying to copy that scene out of Never Back Down.

Sounds plausable. Eventually we will have PEWPEWPEW firefox planes and have to think in russian.

I'm sorry guys, I just finally realised I suck douches and harness the farts from my idol Eminem with my mouth using a nozzle I found of a douche. PewPew.

This is a great idea in theory, but if you think about everything that goes through your mind at one time, it would be overwhelming to any normal human. Thats the reason we don't speak everything we think. Not only would everyone sound psychotic, communication wouldn't be possible.
19. Clit - October 14, 2008 6:25 PM
My name looks like Clit!

Didn't you guise think it was funny when I told that guy that he tried too hard?? LOLLLLL.... I totally wrecked him. I'm definitely the funniest guy on this site. I'd describe my style of writing as a combination of a guy who is trying to imitate the GW and a guy who isn't funny.
I'm going to turn on my brain reading hat --
***I'm so glad I'm definitely not I'm a fag. Definitely. I can't wait til someone tries to post something funny so I can outfunny them. I think I'll stalk the comments section of Geekologie all day long today. I'm really funny and reallllly straight.
21. LSDiesel - October 14, 2008 6:46 PM
@20, In case you care, I'm just here trying to have fun like everyone else. You should probably make it a point to get over yourself and realize that this is a f***ing website.
But thanks anyways for representing the kindergarten point of view.

23. Popadopolis - October 14, 2008 7:26 PM
Holy shit #20...
Just to make sure you know, LSDiesel, that wasn't me. However, to be honest, I don't really see how what he did was much different from what you did. In any case, I won't hold it against either of you.
*LSDiesel has a nice ass. Why didn't I notice that before?*
24. LSDiesel - October 14, 2008 8:14 PM
Clearly that picture isn't an exact photograph and is just a graphic. I think to be safe we should test these on spookadillyo's.
25. a - October 14, 2008 8:23 PM
i wanna try it on
*static noises*
26. BOOSH - October 14, 2008 8:26 PM
everyone gone for the day?
ba dang.............

So can someone tell me why Amy Grant is inventing a mind reading hat? She already knows what people are thinking when she's around.
Hot chick, don't let her see you think her music sucks, in case you get a chance to make the sexytime with her. Shit a god fearing Christian - she won't put out without a lot of work. Your music sucks babe.

Imagine the thoughts raging thru the ASStute minds roaming Geekologie? Unfortunately we don't have to imagine as they seem to post every mindless thought that comes to their primitive circus monkey brains.
I meant that in the most mean spirited way possible so there's no reason to get upset over it dipshits. See what I did there?
36. Thumperchica - October 15, 2008 11:02 AM
Mombo - Thank you. It has been a few days since your last raging degradation of your fellow posters. It warms my heart to know you care. -Hugs!-

*I wonder if johnson told anyone about that time he walked in on me and sarge.... Shit, is this thing still on?*

SHAKE DEM DREADS
But really, I had this idea years ago.
Oh, and...
FIRST! I hate everyone. I'm actually somebody pretending to be somebody so that someobdy looks stupid. Look how intelligent I am. Your post sucks. You're trying to be the GW. I win at the internet.
Did I get the gist of it? Oh wait, why even ask. You'll just turn my mockery of your failure as a human being into another joke. Well go ahead, have fun making the comments section of Geekologie just like the rest of the internet.
