(CNN) -- We admit to being sort of creeped out by this: A Japanese lab has created a device that may let let you "French kiss" someone over the Internet. And by "kiss," we mean waggle your tongue on a plastic straw, thereby making another plastic straw waggle remotely on someone else's tongue. Hot, huh? Well, the folks at Tokyo's Kajimoto Laboratory say it's just the beginning of what could become a full-on person-to-person experience over the Internet. The lab, part of The University of Electro-Communications, posted a video in which a researcher demonstrates the "Kiss Transmission Device." It's a motorized box that looks a little like a police Breathalyzer. Watch the video of the "Kiss Transmission Device" In the video, Nobuhiro Takahashi, a graduate student and researcher at the university, manipulates the plastic tube on one device with his tongue. A program stores the movements on a computer and then transmits them to another device, causing its tube to move -- presumably in someone else's mouth. The idea is to help lovers -- in long-distance relationships, say -- by transmitting the tactile sensation of kissing from one person to another. The lab is running both devices on the same computer, but says a system could be set up to connect them via the Web. "Kiss information" can be recorded and replayed, presumably meaning someone could save and share a "kiss" over and over. "For example, if you have a popular entertainer use this device and record it, that could be hugely popular if you offer it to fans," Takahashi says. (Can you say, "Justin Bieber"?) The researchers seem to realize that most people might not exactly find licking a plastic tube a suitable replacement for sucking face. But there are refinements on the way, they say. "The elements of a kiss include the sense of taste, the manner of breathing and the moistness of the tongue," Takahashi said. "If we can re-create all of those, I think it will be a really powerful device."

I said it is not for me. If you think it is good for you go and buy one. Mine is direct - flesh - to - flesh (WHEN IT COMES). And . . . . . Are you insulting me? I know whenever you call somebody aboki you mean he is illiterate fool! I hope that is not what you are trying to call me.

Who is supposed to be lecturing who here........ if i may ask u.... aboki is which language in Naija?
I think on this, you supposed to be teaching me like a pupil not only lecturing me. In Hausa Language, when we say aboki we mean friend. But, to my understanding aboki has no similar meaning to many people including you. I am just trying to be honest with you. Whenever you want to insult a northerner you call him aboki. When I was in the south, people used to refer to me as aboki. I only realised that it was something bad, only when I attempted to call them with the same name (ABOKI). They bitterly rejected being called aboki. Then if it is true that whenever you people say aboki you mean a good thing, why don't you want to be called with the same name. If you really mean friend when you say aboki, then I am now happy with you shaoyang ABOKI.

Ok. I now understand you very well. But, let me ask you one thing. Can you please choose another name that is acceptable to me. As you have shown me, the name you have been using on me so far is an insulting name, why cant you choose another name just like my name CADANRE and call me with it? Remember all I need is peace no more fight, understand?
