What? Ohhhh ok. Wait what?
"My date father changes again time" according to babelfish.altavista.com
We re-Lao-tze, following a break! ™
according to google translator. =]
" I'm f***king changing it one more time! "
which is somehow trademarked? WTF??
I got "I, I once again changed! ™" on google.
Japanese on babelfish translates to:
Our day old age child re-reforming primary! ?
我日老子再改一次!™, VIA Google Translation:
I, I once again changed! ™
"Is this really a language?"

@nschively
Thats Chinese not Japanese!
If it were J I could read it but not that...
dead video
I didn't realize what that second hand was doing until he fought with it. haha
same!
And to think, some people are starving in this world. Next up, this "inventor" should invent a box that fires a bullet back at the creator. Where is natural selection when you need it.
Slavetolust: Why are u wasting time posting a comment then? Go feed the world!
That's the best thing since sliced velcro
Thanks bro, you just had me google "sliced velcro".. needless to say, your comment was on the top of the list :P
Did we just witness the birth of a new internet meme?
Yes..and now its death. Such is the short lived life of an internet meme.
Observing the birth of a meme leads to its death. Interesting. So the only ones that actually make it are the ones nobody sees coming?
I'm pretty sure this is a standard mechanical engineering project. My dad made one some 20 odd years ago.... almost exactly like this.
It's still entertaining to watch though.. I can't quite explain why I'm still watching it over and over.
> ...My dad made one some 20 odd years ago...
Lol! So did mine!
About 50 years ago!
My dad made one 51 years ago, so.........
I had a toy skeleton that popped out of a coffin and did the same thing, in the old 90's. So this doesn't phase someone as cool as me.
What are the old 90s? And more importantly, what where they like?
I also had the same skeleton machine, it was a piggy bank, one should put a coin in a button and the skeleton hand will take the coin to the grave... The form factor is the same!
Seriously this LeaveMeAloneBox is a ripoff!!! At least the skeleton we had served a purpose!
Don't phase me bro!
You used phase when you should have used faze.
nah dude, i totally get it, the old 90's, last millennium and last century. The new 90's are coming. Hopefully I'll make it to see them! And my grandma had one of those hand bank things. Used to always scare the mess out of me. lol
@ Lowest Ranked
Well, for starters, Pluto was a planet...
Id stop trying to piss it off, it might get depressed and devide by zero.
hahaha made me laugh
He is too smart to build a device that intentionally kills him, natural selection dosent work here.
That was the best 29 seconds of my day, indeed!
Hahahahahahah
that is amazing
I love it
There should be a voice,
"Close ze box"
" S'all right?"
"S'all right!"
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring up that old chestnut.
+1
My $.02
Add a light that will be lit when switch is "on", the hand comes out, a recorded voice says: "Do you think electricity grows on trees?*", flips the switch, light goes out, lid closes.
* Or whatever your father said when you left lights on unnecessarily.
This isn't interesting at all, it just moves the hand a few seconds after the trigger is flicked and if the box is already open it leaves it open, what's so special about this? Am I missing something?
Sense of humor?
@XenoX101 Yes
I hope you're not serious... It's hilarious, made my day!
No, you're not missing something.
There's nothing really remotely funny or innovative or clever or stupid about it. And I tend to laugh at really silly things. It just is, and is over-rated by the "inventor".
The Clapper™ 2.0
but can it play call of duty 4?
There is always that one person that just has to ruin the flow of the comment board with something like this.
Thanks a lot!
Ok then...Is it compatible with my MAC?
Can i run it off USB
What happened to "can it play doom?"
Have we already arrived at COD?
Such a fast world it is at these times.
But will it blend?
First rule of "Will it...?", is do not discuss "Will it...?"
