Dali's lobster phone.
Salvador Dali once wondered why nobody made a telephone in the shape of
a lobster. I suppose because it would just be really cool to do so. For a
long time I thought that it was a passing fancy of his. But today I discovered
that Dali and a friend did make a working model of the lobster phone.
But it seems that nobody since has gone with the idea and developed a
marketable lobster phone (from now on let's just call it the l-Phone).
I think the l-Phone needs to be upgraded for 2Y9. The overall size of the
lobster unit itself should be reduced a little. And they need to get rid of
the rotary dial and base and put buttons into the l-Phone unit just like
a cell phone. In fact I think it would be very easy to combine smart-phone
type features into the l-Phone.
Ed, it sounds like a new project in the making,what I like in this version is you combine a call with weight lifting! that can be good too :D*hugs* to Sahsa :)she is the one that deserves always Lobster and I don't mean a phone 🙂
And you could hang it off your ear with a functional claw built in. It can't fail.
@ Angeliki. Sasha gives hugs. It's still snowing like cray here. @ Richard. I like the claw idea!
Not sure about that phone. I'd be afraid I'd hit myself in the head with it when I answered. I always liked his chair, or was it a couch, in the shape of big lips.
I wonder if that one comes in a mobile version these days…
@ Pam.I've never seen the lips chair. I'll have to look that one up. You know, just in case I decide I want to go out and buy a lips chair, well I'd definitely want the real deal, not some imitation.@ Allan. Oh yes. Featuring G3 network, wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, and a 2 MP digital camera with flash.

Thanks for the link!I like the Dali watch, with his moutache as the hands. And only $30.The bronze chair, at $30,000, I think I'll past on. 😆
Would that 3G, Wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS and camera lobster phone be water proof too?
Allan, I would suppose the l-Phone would take to water like a…well, like a lobster.The l-Phone should not be boiled. I think that almost goes without saying.
You could boil it. but the humane thing to do would be to zap it with a tazer first, you know, to minimise it's suffering. :p.I'm sure Apple would love this project. And after it's being on the market for a few years, they could add sms to it. :whistle:
😆 It's too wild for Apple, I would think. Maybe Nokia!
