Go Hug Yourself

wow...this is just so lame. An entry from Time's Best Inventions of 2006:



"Remember when PDA stood for something other than personal digital assistant? It can again with the Hug Shirt, a high-tech garment that simulates the experience of being embraced by a loved one. When a friend sends you a virtual hug, your cell phone notifies the shirt wirelessly, via Bluetooth. The shirt then re-creates that person's distinctive cuddle, replicating his or her warmth, pressure, duration and even heartbeat. And, yes, the Hug Shirt is fully washable."

For all those who would comment on my souless lack of cuddling this might actually be a positive. I can record one good hug, then just send it to people instead of actually having to do it again.
