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".

Ah, an early example of "virtually"!

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.

*daha*
