The reason I haven't been posting on Ubersite lately is because I've been working on a new project.
Several years ago, there was a revolutionary toy introduced to the market. Known as the Furby. Electrical engineering students were quick to dismantle and reprogram the furby to there own diabolical needs-
http://www.homestead.com/hackfurby/
I could only look on with desire, as I could not afford to purchase a furby for my own experimentation.
However, three weeks ago, I happened upon a sale on Emu eggs at Safeway for $4.99 a dozen. Ecstatic, I bought a dozen and incubated them for a week hoping they would hatch. Miraculously, they rotted because they weren't fertilized.
I was able to save some emu DNA and mailed it out to PetClone(tm). In five day's I had my own baby emu. I'd like to say that through selective breeding and genetic engineering, I was able to successfully breed a live furby-type animal.
However, the truth is I slipped a roofie into to the baby emu's scotch and water and used an X-acto knife and a hot glue gun to make my pet emurby.
Once he grew up, I taught him tricks and how talk. His favorite game is beating the shit out of furbies.

The link was money. I read what I think was the first emu post (was it during ubermadness?) and liked it, but the emu response is kind of to the point where I am ready to declare the era of the emu DONE. Anyway good photoshop and neat furby info.

I've never heard of Furbys before, but they look absurd, particularly when spliced with emus, so +2 for you.

Due to a slight miscalculation with the gluegun, most of his insides consists of his bowels. The visiousness of his dumps are unsurmountable, as in "impossible to climb".
Un`sur*mount"a*ble - adj 1: not capable of being surmounted or overcome; "insurmountable disadvantages" [syn: insurmountable] [ant: surmountable] 2: impossible to surmount or climb [syn: unclimbable]
