And even if actual Maori tattoo symbols were applied, it would still be meaningless, as the culture was stone age and did not employ even the simplest of machines (no use of pulleys, levers, gears etc).

Those are crowd funding things. <br /><br />This is just lazy.

This right here just kills me. It would seem to infer the frame is actually intelligent, and lies patiently, quietly, just waiting for you to really lay into it, before stiffening up and probably losing a pound or two as well, seeing as it's so smart.
