Being the huge geek that I am, I rarely find myself saying, “Wow.. that’s really unnecessary…”
I’ve been the proud owner of a Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner, and still I can say WTF to the following:

Now, unless you are
- handicapped
- ancient
- completely deficient in the self-maintenance department
then I cannot think of a single reason why you’d be willing to trade the simple chore of making your own bed for a machine that surrounds said bed with metal rails, and just might kill you while you sleep.
It reminds me of those automated kitty litter cleaning death traps. Great in concept, but find me a cat that actually uses one of those horrifying studies in sloth.
Anyone ready for a luddite resurgence?

Wow. Now, If you are disabled, how would you even GET IN THAT BED with those metal railings.
You know… I didn’t even think about that.
My only guess is that you’d need to purchase another hydraulic machine that would deposit you in place.
Personally, I’d go for some kind of medical grade ape. Runs on bananas. Still might kill you, but think of the entertainment value…
It looks as if those metal rails from hell retract so that that no one will know you sleep with the devil.
I like the medical grade ape idea… I’d go for it… Just after I finish teaching this monkey karate. That way the monkey will be able to protect me from the ape should it ever try and kill me.
Medical grade ape vs. Karate monkey. Don’t ask questions… Just nod your head signifying acceptance.
Tom -
First of all, loving the new domain. It’s a little lengthy, but the name is certainly semantic.
Secondly, I will vouch for your karate monkey idea. How else will we ever know who the superior primate is? Brains versus Brawn. Surely there would be some quality poo flinging involved as well.
I say we start taking bets.
Eli -
My domain name is now there.
I went ‘old school’ with the design. Oh, the beauty of table and font tags. How was I ever able to do without them?
Now, back onto this oh-so-important topic of poo-flinging…
My money is on the monkey… He’s an obedient little fellow. We’re now on to nunchucks now, just take a look:

(Yes, I know, He kinda looks like a gorilla. Don’t mind that.)
You should call the design “holding pattern.”
I think you just undermined your own argument by showing that gorillas indubitably have superior ninja skills.
I take $5,000,000 on the silverback. He’s hungry, he’s hateful, and he really despises font tags. look out.
