Somehow all of this reminds me of Arthur C. Clark's short story "The Possessed".

it kind of reminds of the set-top boxes from the shitty Batman movie w/ Jim Carey as the Riddler (#3? #4?)

yesterday afternoon i saw several single cars -the newer small globose little type (often female) younger students drive- holding with hazards blinking on the shoulder of the Autobahn en roote. One in the siding box before entrance of a longer tunnel (quite a landmark!) ... that sight usually happens only once or twice a year if some older cars had a brakedown in wet or cold weather
i could swear each was Pokemon related  :o

Pokemon Go: Saudi clerics issue fatwa on 'un-Islamic' game  (...but beheading  people as punishment on an open street crossing and displaying the remains like the IS is still OK :idiot2:)

A senior official at Egypt's Al-Azhar, the pre-eminent seat of Sunni scholarship in the Muslim world, has also spoken out against the game.
