I'd like to see some documentation of the "copper man," otherwise I'm going to think Texaco just pulled this out of its butt. The copper man is quite creepy.

I replied to the wrong entry, but the copper man is real and well documented. Links in some of the other entries.

Interesting, I'm still thinking the claim that a copper mannequin "virtually thinks for itself" is a stretch though.

Thought range is limited, mainly consisting of "Gosh, I'm cold", "Brrrr, I'm super cold", and "Somebody turn off that sun, darnit, I'm broiling".

I found it and tried to post the URL, but the LJ autospam detector marked it as spam. Do a search on
Army OMC copper man mannequin
and you'll get it.
