Senator Vance: Mr. Pendelton, I hold in my hand the 2002 Cyber-Duck Prototype. It has metallic paint, copper wiring along the flank, and two glowing blue LEDs for eyes. My grandson put this in his bath, and suddenly my garage door opened automatically. Care to explain?
Arthur Pendelton: Senator, with all due respect, the Cyber-Duck operates on a harmless 3-volt button cell battery designed solely to illuminate its retinal nodes. The fact that its internal wiring accidentally matches the exact frequency of the 1998 Sears Craftsman garage door receiver is an incredible, mathematical coincidence.
Senator Vance: And what about the hedge portion, Mr. Pendelton? Why does the hedge on the face of the Cyber-Duck pick up ambient AM radio signals from Toronto?
Arthur Pendelton: We consider that a feature, Senator. The inclusion of conductive carbon fiber in our foliage resin was meant to give the leaves a sleek, matte finish. If it happens to broadcast CBC radio broadcasts softly when submerged in warm soapy water, we feel that adds undeniable value to the bathing experience.
