Oct 1 2008USB Ferris Wheel Ferrises When You Type!
The USB Key-controlled Ferris Wheel is a little USB peripheral that spins around whenever you're typing and sends a couple cute little animals on a happy fun slide. Thanks to the marvel of modern technology, it can sense when you've stopped typing, and ceases movement. It costs $29 and is guaranteed entertainment for all ages.*
*Ages 5-80 excluded, small parts may pose a choking hazard for the elderly.

Orginally it was custom made for Michael Jackson, but he needed to patent it and sell it because he was running low on Jesus Juice.

Can you put a whistle tip on it so it can go Whoo Whoo?
And I'm sure this was in Never Back Down, pissing on peoples porches while dressed like a farm animal chewing on bananas. And remember, those bananas would be from Africa, not South America.

....you guys freak me out
when you type... it moves.. so, do you pay attention to the typing or just press all the keys so it goes spinny?

@ SmokingGirl I lol'd. You just recapped every comment for the past month. You just forgot to talk about the shadows. They're all wrong. Total photoshop job!!!
OMG bananas? FROM AFRICA?!?!
SmokingGirl must be in the KKK...

@12-Actually, she forgot to point out that we are no longer allowed to milk the cow, which is why the woman dressed that way - she was trying to get a job at PETA's new Ice Cream parlour.
BTW- I would love to give this to someone with OCD... Must type one more letter... little animal stuck on stairs...
14. Clint - October 1, 2008 1:22 PM
@13 OMG that would be hilarious. Okay I've cleared the stairs. Damnit, now the ferris wheel isn't at 4, 8, and 12 o'clock. Damnit now the bunny is stuck on the stairs again. *rinse and repeat*
Priceless...

CHRIST

Or maybe as a joke, a USB colt 45. Hook it up to your friends' PC and let them know that as soon as they stop typing (at least 100 wpm) the pistol will shoot them in the crotch.
18. minerva - October 1, 2008 2:50 PM
Is it weird that I totally want that?
19. Jo Mama - October 1, 2008 4:32 PM
It would be more fun if they made a Final Destination/SAW/Speed version where if you stop typing below 55 words a min, EVERYONE DIES!!!!!!
20. orb205 - October 1, 2008 6:21 PM
It can't be nearly as annoying as this thing, which moves AND talks while you type: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVSH8eIBrh4
Why do people buy these?
21. assbastard - October 2, 2008 6:12 AM
The coolest feature is that when you grab the little ferris wheel and spin it manually, IT TYPES RANDOM SHIT!!!!
I used it for this post
