Justin Blinder gave birth to “Snoozy the Sloth“, a stuffed toy that has a real diaphragm inside that allows it to breath, going so far as to exhale breath from its latex-glove lungs onto the neck of whomever is nuzzling it.

Justin made Snoozy for a class at Parsons; I bet it won’t be long before he is mass produced. For now, though, I like that Snoozy is a one-off, held together with makeshift parts, like a premature robot just clinging to life.
