Code Name “Popinator”

Every once in a while an invention comes along that changes the way the human race lives. Fire was, most likely, the first but the wheel quickly followed. Bronze, iron, steel, the long bow, the steam engine, manned flight, space, the personal computer, et al.

What you are about to be introduced to, if you choose to proceed, will be ranked among these and not be held above them all only because it doesn't work with bacon.

Meet, The Popinator

This video will demonstrate the awesomeness of this invention.

Now, THIS may just be the Western invention that can bring the Middle East out of the Stone Age. Leave the helicopters, guns and drones behind, guys, just bring the popcorn! :lol:

Now there's a good, practical application of robotics. Who needs C3PO?

Sadly, the popinator is a hoax. It's too bad.

That would not be much fun if you, like me, can't catch.

It may not work with bacon, but I can tell you, from personal experience, that popcorn popped in bacon fat is pretty darned good.
