Be even cooler if it did turn on.

Anyway, baked, motion sensor lights.

Oh yeah, motion sensors. How about a Futilitarian light: when you clap it curses the darkness.

Now you're thinking !

And when you light a candle, it curses the glare?

The zen teacher was, of course, mightily surprised when he asked his pupil "What is the sound of one hand clapping?", because she slapped his face.

Ouch! (in Japanese)

[ravenswood]: //Before you wash, a cup is a cup, and a plate is a plate. While you wash, a cup is no longer a cup, and a plate is no longer a plate. After you are done washing, a cup is once again a cup, and a plate is again a plate.//
Isn't that the Schroedinger dishwasher? I'm uncertain.

Angel, read Dancing Wu Li Masters. The similarities between Zen thought and Quantum Mechanics are amazing. If you can grasp one, the other falls into place, or so I'm told.

How about a zen hot dog vendor... always makes you one with everything,

I've cheated and looked, and the official answer to the One Hand koan is this: "The pupil faces his master, takes a correct posture, and without a word, thrusts one hand forward" (http://www3.tky.3web.ne.jp/~edjacob/koan.html). This indicates we're talking motion-sensing rather than sound-sensing. How do you get the master to beat you to that particular room each time, though?

So it is written.
