USB-powered fake flowerpot speaker

You know, it's hard enough already trying to convince people who drop by the house that we're not insane, so the last thing we're going to do is completely confirm that by plugging this USB-powered fake flowerpot that doubles as an external PC speaker into our laptop. Because that would remove all doubt in a lot of people's minds.

engadget should get a computer hooked up with as many of these crappy things as they can find... lol

but you need two flowerpots to make it stereo..no?

or how about 6 of them to make it 5.1? or perhaps get 8 of'em and connect to audigy2 notebook..a whole flower garden of rock'n role

the crazy part is, when working with usb audio devices each acts as it's on driver, so you can open up multiple instances of winamp (four or so, depending on how many pots you have hooked up) and target a different pot with each, essentialy enabling you to listen to as many DIFFERENT songs at one single time as you had usb ports.... and plants... to do. odd eh? i think it is funny, kind of cool in a way... in a real weird way...
