Physics Students Build Drivable Couch

Radish03 writes "Some of my fellow members of The Society of Physics Students at Purdue University have, in an effort to preserve our beloved, antique couch, motorized it. The blue vinyl couch, named Mojo, was spotted driving around the Purdue campus on Thursday. Mojo, which has been extensively reupholstered with duct tape, features headlights, a glove box, and a radio and sound system will be added soon. Mojo has recently received sponsorship from Duck Tape and after appearing in several local newspapers, is in on the road to New York and set to appear Monday morning on Good Morning America. There are also a few pictures and videos of the couch in action."

    christ man, lighten up.

    it's not like anyone is trying to pretend that this is the first time it's been done.

    if it's so. fucking. old. then move on--there's nothing to see here. Let the kids have fun and get on to stuff that doesn't tire you so.

    Don't take this personal--because you and I both know I don't know a thing about you--but your post makes you sound like one of those bitter old men who can't stand to see kids having fun either a) because they can't do it anymore, or b) because they never had the chance to do it themselves.
