A reminder, I asked for what toy and WHY it was banned.

Yes, the answer is furbies. I will give the point (and next question) to Pirate, and give the reason myself. It was claimed that the furbies recorded what was said to/around them and used that to "learn" English, and may even repeat often-used phrases like a robotic parrot. The NSA in America and other Intelligence Agencies in other countries feared that the robotic parrots would retain and repeat sensitive information, and so the "pets" were banned in their offices.
Your turn, Pirate.

Albert Einstein it is. In case you wonder poor Albert didnt really like the idea of anybody building such a bomb anyway. They had to twist his arm almost to get his help. |
