I already have one of those fucking things dangling between my legs. I discovered decades ago that it has a mind of its own and it causes me nothing but trouble. (Mind you, I should point out that mine’s not as big or hairy as the one in the video.)

Finally, the technologically-deprived savages outside Japan have discovered the “Tailly”…

Scientists invent a tail for humans which wags when you’re happy
The Sun, UK | 02nd January 2013
…Japanese Shota Ishiwatari, the brains behind the accessory, is planning to launch it in the UK this year…He said: “Tailly is fun to wear to parties, while out with friends or playing with kids. You could even wear Tailly on a date and express your true feelings through the wagging tail …more…

Now, the Taily inventor is trying to crowd-fund the company’s expenses, meh. Whatta scam.

Tailly: The tail that wags when you get excited
–Tailly is a wearable wagging tail which reacts to the user’s heart rate. When you wear Tailly, you’ll radiate cuteness and happiness!–

Tailly is the invention of Shota Ishiwatari, the Japanese maker/inventor that designed and built the prototypes for the emotion-displaying Necomimi cat ears by NeuroSky. He’s invented a tail that monitors your heart rate and reacts accordingly: A slow, lazy swish when you’re relaxed, a brisk wag when you’re excited, and so on. The goal is to deliver the goods (if successful) in September. It’s down to the last three days, and it’s struggling. It’s only raised about 30% of its goal, and it could use some happy mutant help. The actual cost for the initial production run is $100,000, but Ishiwatari has negotiated a deal with a trading company to get them to kick in half if he can crowdfund the other half. This is a Kickstarter-style fixed funding campaign, so if he doesn’t make the goal, he gets nothing at all.
