Coronavirus Insanity: An increase in power tool injuries, a mayor’s wife is busted, and more…

Here are some NOT-so-serious stories we’ve seen about the coronavirus outbreak . . .

  2. Here’s a report from a dominatrix on a surge in BDSM during the pandemic. 
  3. People are attempting home improvement projects during the lockdown . . . and now there’s been an increase in power tool injuries.  That’s especially bad news since the hospitals are full of coronavirus patients.

  2. Some people on Airbnb have started listing their places as “COVID-19 retreats” or places that are great for isolating.

Scientists have made a new “smart toilet” that recognizes you based on your butt…

One day, every product in our homes is going to be “smart.”  Even when some of the “smart” things sound so, so dumb.

Scientists at Stanford University in California say they’ve just developed a SMART TOILET that can identify you by your butt and monitor your health by your waste . . . both the liquids and the solids.  (And what should be solid but comes out liquid.)

The scientists say it can monitor all types of health issues, small and large . . . even things like colon and prostate cancer.

So how will it recognize you by your butt?  The researchers say, quote, “We know it seems weird, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique.”

The toilet is in its early stages so there’s no word on when it might hit the market.

But so far, they’ve tested it on 300 people, and the majority say they’re comfortable with the idea of having a smart toilet in their home.
