Just want to know why some one has not invented an electric door knob?

Define "electric door knob." If you mean a door that opens
itself electrically, they're all over the place - as are security
locks which incorporate an electric release, and use a keypad
thumbprint scan, etc., for access.

If you look at his other question, which is basically the same

If you look at his other question, which is basically the same
question but gives insight into his intent, it sure seems like
his idea of an "electric doorknob" is one that shocks people
when they touch it.

but then I thought, "no, no one would ask a
question that was THAT stupid, would they?"

Because the present doorknob is hard to beat? Cheap, works great,
doesn't require energy - and my cat hasn't learned how to work it.

He's posting through Google Groups; that should be a clue.

A lot of the people using GG think they are using myspace or AOL
bulletin boards - Google keeps the fantasy going by providing a place
for "profiles." No concept of what Usenet is - many of them . . .

We can also "rate" the post over there.

They won't figure it out. Its the dogs that are working on the
doorknob problem. (The Far Side)




Too late, by decades. I know of several people who had dogs who figured out

Yeah, I was afraid that might be the case after I saw that
second post, but then I thought, "no, no one would ask a

Too late, by decades. I know of several people who had dogs who figured out
doorknobs, and got out regularly. They had to put separate deadbolts high
up on the door to defeat the dog.

At least, there is a link to do so. I've never clicked it so I don't
know whether it really ends up rating usenet posts over at google, or
if it just applies to their local "groups".

Clearly we should be "rating" such posts, and maybe they'd learn
from it.

I think she's got the mechanics figured out, just isn't equipped for
turning it and hasn't found a tool to do it.

Smart cat. She'd chase string as a kitten. I'd get tired of the game
before she did and toss the string away. She'd fetch it then drop it
in my lap and proceed to attack it. I'd toss it away and that became
the new game. I figured to spoof her and pretended to toss the
string. She looked confused for a second then picked up an imaginary
string dropped it in my lap and attacked it. So I did it again to see
if she understood - she attacked a second imaginary string.
