Description: The Iso-Phone by James Auger, Jimmy Loizeau and Stefan Agamanolis lets users really immerse themseleves in their conversations. The user swims in a floating tank and wears a helmet that eliminates any input from the outside world, so that the user's undivided attention is focused on the vocal connection of a telephone conversation. Remember what it was like to chat in private instead of while walking down a busy street?

And this years Science Fair blue ribbon goes to little Timmy who put together a life size mock-up of how toilets work and even redesigned the float to use a more reliable tri-bowl system.

Where did this picture come from? The more I look at it the more amazing I find it. The guy that suggested wrapping your head with a transmitter/reciever then jumping into a pool just so you can have a focussed conversation deserves some kind of darwin award for creating a device that could help purge the gene pool of stupidity.

Scientists have given up conventional aproaches and are resorting to desperate solutions in an attempt to get at least one blonde to finally have an intelligent conversation.
