"Remote Controlled" Donkeys
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3267873.stm
Smugglers in Algeria have reportedly come up with a novel way to get their contraband into Morocco - donkeys, with tape recorders on their backs. A taped message is repeated, saying "Err", Arabic for "walk", so that the donkeys do not stop as they follow the smugglers' tracks unaccompanied.
Haha!
Cassette: 75 cents
Tape Recorder: 10 dollars
Donkey: 500 dollars
Fooling Moroccan authorities with your automated smuggling donkey: Priceless.
There's no need for a multi-million dollar American spy drone-- just strap a camara to the back of your remote controlled donkey! But they deserve some sort of reward for originality, that's for certain.
