I'm Never Taking a Shower Again





Scientists at MIT have developed a camera that can shoot pictures around corners. (Shown above.) According to Professor Ramesh Raskar, "It's like having x-ray vision without the x-rays. But we're going around the problem rather than going through it."

In honor of this great scientific development, I shall remain fully clothed for the rest of my life.

Well I don't know about you but I sure close the door when I change and take a shower XD That is so creepy though. It's crazy what kind of technology people can make these days.

SLM: I didn't think about a door. After seeing Psycho in the seventh grade, I have always insisted on clear shower curtains. Perhaps I should rethink my preferences! Ha.

Kirsten Miller said...

OK, I'm a bit slow today. You meant the door to the bathroom. But what if you think you're home alone?

That camera would be useful, but now I'm going to shut and lock all the doors, windows, and curtains in my bathroom.

Ok way to make me even more paranoid then usual Kirsten! By the way I would close the door to my bathroom at all times. This now adds to the entire big brother is watching you thing @-@

Hmmm...this is a good reason to invest in doors and window curtains. Thick, thick window curtains.

Kirsten: Oh yeah psycho O_O that creeps me out sometimes.

Yeah I meant the door to the bathroom not shower, but I still close the door even when I'm home alone. Haha I guess it just feels strange not to. But also if I leave the door open, it's weird because I can see myself taking a shower in the mirror outside the door XD.

That is really creepy. And now that I think about it, there are far too many windows from the deck into my parent's room/bathroom where I take showers. Hmmm, I might need to create some lightweight cardboard shutters. . .

Stalker-ish and creepy, but I want one ^^'

Dear Rileydog:

Coroplast would work better, last longer than cardboard. Sick: was the news article/press release example really shower peeping?
