This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

Gary Glitter
I have to admit, I knew someone who worked as a recording studio engineer and was good friends with him before the allegations of paedophilia. Apparently he'd always be looking out for new and interesting sounds to lever into the records.

From what I was told, he'd always turn up with something he found at a car boot sale for next to nothing, whether it be as advanced as a tape machine with a knackered motor which would give the recording an interesting flutter effect, or a Rubiks Snake which he would use to beat a tom tom. He'd straighten it out and then, due to the way it was put together, it would always twist and change shape creating different sounds, although from what I hear they usually got lost in post-production.

I wish I could remember them all, but these were his two favourite examples of "Crap Gadd Gets."





sorry.

I got fed up of breadmaker replies to see if it had already been done.
Hopefully, with it having been done before, it will have given people a false sense of security before being hit with the same punchline.
