Circuit Bent Furbies

Do you remember the Furbies. Early 90's annoying robots that you can't turn off?

Well its sweet sweet justice that someone has made a guide to dismantle and mess about with these creatures internals. http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2006/03/circuit-bent-furby.html

Circuit bending, is a really interesting activity, and well worth Googling! There are some amazing 'circuit bent' musical instruments for example!!
