I am so NOT mechanically inclined this shit always blows my mind.
How the fuck does one even start to conceive of such creations?
Totally impressed.

@michael567 It's completely ironic that hidden below your keys and behind your screen is an exponentially more vast design manipulating energy on an electromechanical level, yet the majority of users of said design have not a clue it exists, let alone how it works, and yet the most use it ever sees is for its ape like users to fulfill their every narcissistic need.

While Britain invented the jet engine, TV, hovercraft, radar, the steam engine, the chronometer, photography and the world wide web... the French invented a contraption to sound like an injured sparrow.

@jackflint
As useful as the jet engine, TV, hovercraft, steam engine, chronometer, photography and the world wide web are, think of the neverending uses of a mechanised dying sparrow gizmo. I mean this thing could cure all sorts of ailments, maybe even AIDS, and probably, in the right hands, bring about world-peace; maybe even contribute to ending global poverty...plus it sounds cool.

@cubanoz123 The earliest recorded sounds were also by a French inventor named Édouard-Léon Scott. These sounds and more can be found here. http://www.firstsounds.org/features/scott.php and here http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/volta/
