The only, and I mean only, possible use for something like this is to place outside your neighbor’s bedroom window at 2am and then tap on the glass. Does that justify the $7500 you’d have to spend? Uh, not even close”.  Read more.. (Please note that the dinosaur shown in the picture is not the one described in the article.)
