When I want my husband to do a project and he is playing computer games instead I generally decide to run my battery flat in the home office on my desk right next to him. After a couple of hours he does the project to get away from the crazy speech.
What can I say, if I wait long enough between times it works like a charm.

I periodically turn to it and yell, "Die, battery, die!" I'll need to re-calibrate my BN at work one of these days, and suppose I'll have to leave a note on it telling people that yes, it's supposed to be talking, and maybe tell them what it's saying, since they probably won't understand it.
