Mr. Improbable (and Milo!) on Boston television

September 11th, 2009

UPDATE: The video’s up of Wednesday’s “Chronicle” segment on inventions. Here’s the whole story, and here‘s the segment with Mr. Improbable — and Milo! (In this segment, Mr. Improbable is teasing Milo with a broom so that he will bark and demonstrate the effectiveness of Bow Lingual, the dog-to-human translation device. Don’t worry. Milo had fun.)

[From Wednesday] If you’re a Boston local, tune into Channel 5′s “Chronicle” tonight at 7:30. They are doing a report on inventions. Mr. Improbable will describe some Ig Nobel Prize-winning inventions, and Milo will demonstrate a few, including Bow-Lingual and Clocky.

    I have a Clocky and I love it. Do I wake up more readily? Not a bit. But it’s like having a cute little pet.

    the blonsky device seems a bit frightening…i’d like to test the bowlingual myself, though i know my dogs barks pretty well by now. he says cookie, i want cookie a lot.

    I suspect the Blonsky device has never been used!

    BowLingual is more for entertainment than anything else, as far as I know. I was suspicious of it when I noticed that one of the settings (you can set it to different breeds of dog) is “basenji.”
