    A new gadget is designed to get people drunk INSTANTLY.

    The makers claim, however, that the 'harm' is limited, because you sober up equally rapidly.The alcohol is delivered via an aerosol spray, so people feel briefly drunk, then sober up.

    But however quickly people might recover, drunkenness can lead to accidents - and it's also unclear how the device could be misused by alcoholics.

    Two American scientists designed the device - a small spray that gives you that instant drunk sensation from less than a drop of alcohol. The feeling lasts just seconds - but when it fades, you are sober and able to carry on with your day.

    SAGAMIHARA, Japan -- A pet parakeet was returned to its Japanese owner Wednesday after the brainy bird told police its home address near Tokyo.

    The male bird, called Piko-chan, escaped early Sunday morning from his home in the city of Sagamihara and remained at large before being coaxed into perching on the shoulder of a guest at a nearby hotel.

    He was handed over to local police, but Piko-chan did not speak until Tuesday evening, when he blurted out the names of the city and district where his owner's home is located, a police spokesman said.

    The stunned cops then listened as the parakeet produced the home's block and street number.

    His owner, a 64-year-old woman, once lost another parakeet after it flew away and was determined not to make the same mistake.

    "So the owner decided to teach the address to this parakeet after she bought it at a pet store two years ago," a police spokesman said. "The bird's name was found to be Piko-chan as it said, 'You're pretty, Piko-chan."
