Humans are a weird species. Check this out: NEC has just announced its wideband wearable antenna, which essentially turns a a person (wearing a special suit) into a high-performance mobile antenna. The prototype apparently works in either open space or when using the human body for conduction. The plan is to use it for digital terrestrial broadcasts, so presumably for live TV broadcasts to your cell phone?

Seriously, though. You don’t see goats or chimpanzees pulling these sorts of shenanigans.

At least we know what we’re dress up as for Halloween next year. (A human antenna).
