Your face on a pancake

Technology marches onward! Product development company Kinneir Dufort has created a machine that can print faces onto pancakes. It explains:

Combining CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology with embedded face recognition and tracking software, the system dispenses layers of batter directly onto a hot plate allowing the creation of detailed and complex images within the pancake surfaces. As the conventional pancake batter is applied it immediately starts to cook and change colour and as subsequent layers are added the different tonal qualities of the image build up.

I saw a chef doing this by hand once. The result was more cartoonish, but impressive.

I can see the Paris-Sorbonne profits taking a nose dive even as we speak.

Pssst.... Quick.... before anyone else thinks of it... do me a few with Pat Robertson & I'll make the infomercial.

Really, the last thing I want to see at breakfast is my own face staring back from a pancake. It smacks of self-cannibalism.

Besides, I'm not that pretty in the morning.

I will have to carefully examine any new invitations to breakfast.

New dating site: Doppelgangers for dinner. Only problem is you only get one date, unless you don't finish. Then the next date would be a half-faced date.
