Device that detects shitty smells!

Got to US Patent 6,966,840 from a post on the Patently-O blog. Here's what the abstract reads:


A novelty device that makes humorous statements when a person is having a bowel movement in a confined bathroom. The device includes an automated character, such as a bird in a birdcage, a skunk with a gasmask or some other character. Within the device is a gas sensor for detecting at least one gas emitted during a bowel movement. The device also includes a speaker for transmitting an audible message. When gases from a bowel movement are detected, audible statements are transmitted and synchronized movements are effected in the automated character.


Notice the part where it says "The device includes an automated character, such as a bird in a birdcage..." - Yeah right! Who wouldn't want to be Long John Silver in the loo with a parrot that goes "Ark, ark - Bloody Farter!"

:-D
