If you are a huge Trek fan that wants to ensure that your virginity remains intact for decades to come, the Star Trek Voice Activated Dimmer may be right up your alley.
The dimmer will respond to commands like “Computer, Low” and “Computer, Off” and adjust your level of light accordingly. It will also respond in the voice of Majel Roddenberry, widow of Gene Roddenberry and the voice behind the ships computer in most of the Trek t.v. shows and movies.
I would have thought that nothing could have eclipsed “The Clapper” in the lameness department. Apparently I was wrong.
The Star Trek Voice Activated Light Dimmer is available for $39.95.
