Fact/Humor

Since I seem to have mentioned pets a few times in this issue, I thought I’d close with a pet item. Want a trouble-free pet? Count on the Japanese to build it. Ugobe’s Pleo is undeniably cute, modeled after a baby Camarasaurus, a type of long-necked, plant-eating Jurassic reptile. The Pleo is programmed to respond like a pet. It comes when called, purrs when stroked, and whimpers when hurt. It can be trained to respond to commands. It communicates with other Pleos via infrared technology. The company says it can even catch a cold.
