This is one waste not, want not, DIY project that caught our eye. Tiny little speaker housings made of carefully cut (and, we assumed, cleaned) eggshells, with small stands of clay. The final product apparently has "narrow" sound, but they sure look cuter than any homemade speakers we've ever seen before.

They look very vulnerable if you have small kids in the house...
Egg shells and clay? Vulnerable? Do you THINK?
ARF ARF ARF
maybe they coated the insides with epoxy or something...
@ Shinigami, I thought about that too so I would of applied a layer of polymer coating inside and out.
I'd love to seem him cram a subwoofer in to a set of Dinosaur or ostrich eggs.
@Techie Would HAVE. Not would OF.
Title is classic.
But sound is "Rotten" :P
My name is humpty, pronounced with a umpty
Humpty dumpty sat on the wall
humptey dumpty was turned into speakers
....
Humpty dumpty was sitting on the wall and an unfortunate accident came to him
with a team of scientists they were able to reattach his shell using clay, making him stronger than the average egg
he is now the the million dollar egg

I sure hope they used the eggs with Omega-3 in them.
"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall..."
ZUNEHDRULEZZZ!!!
By all rights, I should have downrated you, due to your fanboyishly presented statement on a completely unrelated topic. But I agree with said statement, so there you go.
STFU fanboy!!!
And the point of these speakers is??
Its so when people come over you can be like "hey guys check out these speakers I got, theyre made out of eggs. I have no life huh?"
Yeah but seriously, theyre kinda cool. Interesting at least.
I think they're intended to enrage you and the vegan audiophiles of the world.
Eggciting
These things crack me up.
Eggsellent work, cracking stuff there.
For a DIY eggsperiment they really eggceed the standard you often see on here. I bet there's a few people who would shell out for a pair of those in their nest. Maybe use Ostrich for something more eggstravagant, as long as the price isn't too eggstortionate.
Word in your shell like though, don't think they'll help you get laid if you try and use them to impress a bird you're having a crack at.
You have a lot of time on your hands, don't you?
Alex, you could say hes just trying to egg you on
Eggad!
I think most people who read eggadget have to much time on their hands...
I eggspect the guy will be replacing the housing a lot due to cracks. I'm not sure if the housing is cost effective either. If the guy eats the eggs he'll develop high cholesterol and have a heart attack, or if he bakes a lot of cookies and cake, he'll get fat and have a heart attack. Either way, when he has the heart attack is when buy real housing for his speaks would have paid for itself 10 fold.
I once knew a guy who wrote long comments about eggs and heart attacks. He had a heart attack.
I'll burn some books to clean up the shelve space!
Corresponding, the ostrich subwoofer add-on!
Are these everything they're cracked up to be?
/facepalm
Hey, did the music sound scrambled when you tested them? LOL!
Are these available from newegg.com?
None; they're eggs and therefore round all around.
looks like bird doody at the base of it. way cool. I pray people keep doing shit like this, if for nothing other than to keep the keyboard jockey comments coming.
They're ideal for tweeters!
