So the engineering graduate built himself a reminder of life on campus: a refrigerator that can toss a can of beer to his couch with the click of a remote control.

He'll grow up eventually.

I remeber Larry Bird saying in 1981 that his idea of heaven is having a garage full of Budweiser and every time you take one out another one is put in its place.

A video featuring the device is a hit on the Internet, where more than 600,000 people have watched it at metacafe.com, earning Cornwell more than $3,000 from the Web site.

Cool.

I don't want to see the thing he makes to get his nachos and wings across the room.
I wouldn't want to beta test it either.

"Great. A shook-up beer aimed at your noggin"

Only a moron would toss/shake beer. I would venture to guess that 90% of people also don't know the correct way to pour beer.

I trained my dog to fetch beers, but now I need to teach him to read so he gets the right brand.

They do not know how to pour or even what a proper pint is.
