macnoke03 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 This is pretty freakin awesome: RALEIGH, N.C. - When John Cornwell graduated from Duke University last year, he landed a job as software engineer in Atlanta but soon found himself longing for his college lifestyle. So the engineering graduate built himself a reminder of life on campus: a refrigerator that can toss a can of beer to his couch with the click of a remote control.

CPortJGibbs89 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Dude that kicks so much ass, I would just end up getting wasted because the more drunk I would get I would just keep pressing the button for it to toss me another frosty brew and just watch in amazement.

rincewind Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 This is what I don't get (and the same thing for the rubber floors) - wouldn't that shake the hell out of the beer? What's the point of getting a beer faster if you're just going to have to wait 5 minutes for it to calm down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 What's the point of getting a beer faster if you're just going to have to wait 5 minutes for it to calm down? You have to ask? You don't have to get off the couch. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rincewind Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 You have to ask? You don't have to get off the couch.Duh. I get that, but I don't want to have to wait 5 minutes for it to calm down. They need to invent a system like Homer Simspon's where he had that transport machine and he had one next to the couch and one in front of the fridge. Of course, I also don't understand how a Coke machine doesn't shake up your soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of getting a beer faster if you're just going to have to wait 5 minutes for it to calm down? you have to understand how to catch a beer, moving the hands back as the beer approaches to prevent a sudden stop. Slower deceleration helps fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
