  4. Yeah, but they ain't MacGuyver by AtariAmarok · · Score: 5, Funny

    $50 in parts to built an mp3 player into a 'toids-tin? Sounds impressive until you realize that McGuyver can do the same thing using nothing more than belly button lint, a broken LCD watch, and a hairpin. All fitting inside a matchbook, no less.

    I ain't gettin' on no planes.

    Try to take an "mp3 player in a mint case" through security, and you'll be taking the greyhound bus for the rest of your life.
