Good
news for people who are incurable dozers. No more the embarrassment because you have slept off during a lecture
or a meeting and the tell-tale lolling of your head gives you away and you get
that angry stare of your boss , sometimes followed by, a “ See me later, I need
to talk to you!”. The invention named The Duckmaster has already been selling
well. Patented at Buenos Aires in Argentina and priced at £7(Rs. 560/-
approx.), the device is a rubber duck that fastens around the owner’s neck and
starts quacking near his (or her) ears if the head slumps forward. Interested
parties may access the website www.patomaster.co.ar.
And who, do you think invented it? Of course, the students of University of
Buenos Aires.
