Clean Little Hands are Good to See
Obsessive-compulsives everywhere, rejoice! There is now a hand-scanning* device that detects germs that improper hand-washing fails to remove (”Quick! Someone open up a Tokyo office!”).

I’d better hide it from my three-year old though. He has developed an irrational preoccupation with cleanliness. He may totally overload it!
