World's Most Useless Machine Gets Upgraded

The world's most useless machine (aka The Ultimate Machine designed by Claude Shannon) is the moniker given to a little robotic box that, when a toggle switch is pushed, opens the top of the box, and, with a little robotic finger, turns the toggle back to the original position. That's it, that's all it did. Aaaaaaaand now its been upgraded. And by upgraded I mean become sentient. Just watch the video and you'll see what I mean. But skip to 0:40 unless you want to watch forty seconds of the box in it's original mode, which you probably don't unless you're on the john right now and bored out of your b-hole. Which, SPOILER: so am I. Haha, is this your shoe I'm tapping?

Remember the world's most useless machine -- a box that turns off its switch every time you turn it on? Well this is the "Advanced Edition," a version with EIGHT switches. It was made out of an old printer. My love doll? My love doll was made out of an old refrigerator box.... / Continue →
