A smart scale in Australia gave people a real pounding, at least emotionally. The scale not only measured height and weight, it also "weighed in" with some heavily harsh words. One woman got on the scale and came off with a computerized printout that said, "Get off fat pig!" Another man, who weighs only 176 pounds, was told, "You are a little overweight. Fat %#$@." That's not the kind of warm and fuzzy Richard Simmonsesque motivation these people expected. So the scale has been removed. Company officials think someone "made the scale do it" because it normally says stuff like "Happy New Year." >> CLICK: Reuters http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20020116/od/scales_dc_1.html __________________________________________________________ *********************SEARCH400 CONTACTS******************* MICHELLE DAVIDSON ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send us your story ideas and best practices.
