Mad Scientists Monday is back, with the choice between speaking in tongues.

A.)    Speak and you will be heard, listen and you will understand.  This is the ability to speak and communicate with any sentient being anywhere.  Any language or form of communications is instantly at your command, including Morse code, smoke signals, sign language, etc.  Hell, if we discover aliens and they communicate via flashing lights, or changing skin pigmentation, you can communicate with them, too, though you’ll have to provide your own lights and colors.

B.)    Technoglot, you can communicate with machines.  You can tell when the fridge is feeling down, or ask your car what is the exact problem with the engine.  The more complicated the machine, the more complicated the language.  Computers will be like people, bikes will be like dogs, a pulley will be like a flower that follows the sun.  With the ability to talk to machines, you will be able to have the knowledge to fix them, or create something completely new and different.

C.)    Dr. Doolittle.  Yeah, we did talk to the animals before, but that was between talking to plants and animals.  You talk to the animals, but be wary; this does not mean control the animals.  If you insult a horse, don’t be surprised if they don’t help you.  A dog will only listen if he likes you, etc.  Just like people, you won’t get along with everyone, the only difference is, that you can understand why your significant other’s pet hates you.

What’s it going to be?
