I sure did. Well, now the entirety of Germany's capital city will praising and petting citizens and tourists alike for doing just that -- through its speaking and singing trash cans.The talking trash cans _ powered by solar cells _ are meant to show that Berlin is "a modern city with high-tech services, and that it is also very cosmopolitan."
