Now THIS is genius
Thursday, February 17, 2005
There are several things that distinguish us from the machines (the ones with Artificial Intelligence that we’re all so afraid of) and that is the creativity to come up with...er...*creative* solutions to almost any problem.
I’ve got to give props to my dear friend Kirstin for showing me this one. What would I do without friends? So this guy gets trapped in his car by an avalance in the Slovak Tatra mountains. Instead of giving up and resigning himself to death, he ponders ways to free himself from his snowy prison. In the midst of pondering, he reaches for a one of 60 bottles of beer (doesn’t that sound like a bad song about to happen?) that he has in the back seat. As he drinks, a GENIUS idea comes to his head. He’ll melt the snow by peeing on it!
4 days and 60 bottles of beer later find the man drunk and straggering on the roads of the Slovak Tatras. Rescuers found him and took him to safey with only minor damage to his liver and kidneys.
THAT, my friends, is what separates us from the machines.
Not sure if you meant the pun, Kat, but that is LITERALLY what separates us from machines, apparently!
