"Ask The Fish" is a small plastic fish that you place on your outstretched palm and wait as the heat from your hand causes it to curl up. According to the varying qualities of the curl certain characteristics about your personality can be read.

In action it is exactly similar to an old novelty item (described in the first link), except for one main difference; attached to one of the barbels on Ask The Fish's head is a fine wire, which terminates in a USB plug.

This enables the companion programme to accurately read and analyse the more subtle details of the curl, that otherwise would be invisible to the naked eye.

       Why not pair this with a Babel Fish? put it in your ear, it curls, the computer computes, and the fish whispers your future into your ear?

       Ahem - you're supposed to be discussing the finer points of Fish Curling analyses! You can wink at each other over drinks later.
