- bstory, on 08/28/2008, -1/+27There is more between free time and drug abuse than creativity can explain!
- steve9924, on 08/28/2008, -1/+20omigod.... the sounds coming out of that thing are twisted.....
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -2/+17Didn't Mcain just pick a Furby for Veep?
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+14I guess they have found something useful to do with a Furby. Now that is thinking outside of the box!
- MaxMWood, on 08/29/2008, -0/+9I remember when I had a Furby and after about 5 minutes I shoved it in a draw and it would always wake up randomly and piss you off, so I sold it. Although I would have rather smashed it.
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+9So this is where Furbys end up!
- sockpuppets, on 08/29/2008, -0/+8It's for sale on fleabay:

- DiggaD, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6now if only they could make it not sound like crap.....
- electricwaffles, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6a draw?
- BigCalvin247, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6I'm not sure if you could call that "useful"...
- iptib, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5HA!!!!
- Squidwalk, on 08/29/2008, -2/+7Obligatory: KILL IT WITH FIRE!
- ALPHABETlQUE, on 02/01/2009, -0/+4check out this drum sequencer that uses marbles to create beats.

- MrSarcasm, on 08/29/2008, -0/+41995 called...
- mescad, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4and well, now they are mounted in a box...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L52gjtHA_oQ - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4I had a Furby once and I somehow managed to drop him on his head in the parking lot of my dorm (this was the 90's). After it happened, his eyes half closed and he started making a cacophony of random burps, squeals, beeps, clicks... you name it. He was never the same after that and would act as though he was having grand mal seizures every couple of days. Guess a head injury can do that.
But aside from that circuit bending is really cool. Too bad these people didn't actually try to compose any music with the Furbies. BT's This Binary Universe is mostly made up of circuit bending. - stareyes206, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3They also do it with Pikachu's:

- mills84, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3My friend has a hobby of bending circuits and his furby now makes horrible squealing noises... he has attached the furby to a manakin (Furby as head) and let me tell you its some freaky s**t, especially as he recently made a short zombie film for university and so its all now drenched in fake blood.
- scottinks, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3My nightmare just became reality.....
- benjorino, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Furbies look so much cooler naked like that.

- GuitarHeroDenn, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2I will spit acid in your eyes and blind you! Hehehe!
- NewPunk, on 08/30/2008, -0/+2Wow... what a waste of time...
- scabbers, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Yeah circuit bending needs more quality control!
- robinthehood, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2dugg for "Furby Gurdy". I continually listen to Hurdy Gurdy Man and wonder how many drugs the generation before me really did do...
Conclusion so far: A lot - tdp301, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Check out this BBC video about the guy who made this

phrase often spouted by people with no creativity.
like or dislike the work, fine. but you have no right to judge how people use their time. - raydeen, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Great. Now I'm going to have nightmares about burning robot zombie Furbies.
- Berkana, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2If you could make an instrument out of cyborg zombies, it would look and sound like this.
- Myonosken, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1Holy ***** that's awesome.

That instrument is basically the offspring of a violin, a meat grinder, a keyboard, and a bagpipe. -
