Stressed out? Sad? Let Mr. Whippy, a prototype ice cream dispenser on display during ars electronica, help you out. Mr. Whippy doles out ice cream according to the amount of stress (and misery) it detects in a supplicant's voice. The sadder you sound, the more ice cream you get. (via boingboing)

Fascinating...and it'd let me practice my acting skills any time I wanted a bigger cone.
That's amazing. I have got to get me one of those. I feel bad for happy ice cream eaters, though...
No need, Mike. They'd quickly become sad when they didn't get enough ice cream.
I just shot coffee through my nose laughing at this!
What a fabulous idea!
too funny.
