:inquisitive: :dizzy2: :laugh4:

The troop of five or six of them squealing and screaming at each other toward the end of the video ... wow. Just wow.

The parts where they had them on top of the record player moved me to tears.

Just as a friendly reminder, you can own one of these horrendous little creations for the low, low price of $100.

:balloon2:

Edit - I think Prosimian Enterprises could use a few of these to supplement the helpdesk staff.

Interesting.

My son has really gotten into electronics at school. The kit version might be a good summer project for him. Pretty cool little gizmo.

That thing seems like it would frighten children to death. :laugh4: It's like one of those cute little toys that went horribly awry.

The two on the turntable together should have had the Kirk-Spock fight music in the background, but other than that, the video was pure win. :yes:

I dunno, at $50 for the kit that's still very steep, BUT it does sound like a very good father/son project. Hopefully you've bought him one of those 100 in 1 electronics kits that you can build various devices with, I had one when I was younger and it was one of my favorite toys, after my LEGOs.

Well Whacker, my son is about to turn 16. He's had an electronics class this past year in high school and will be taking a more advanced class this coming school year. I know $50 is a bit steep for a kit, but he likes electronic gizmos and if it gives him something else to do other than sitting around watching TV or playing Xbox all day long, it would be a worthwhile investment. We shall see.
