Whoever made that has too much time on their hands.

Maybe you could ski on your old keyboards . . .

My ex had a HP Laptop, it looked like a George Foreman grill, mind you with the noise and the amount of heat it gave off I think it'd do a half-way decent steak :D

What a wasteful way of dealing with a computer you don't want.

Haha, loved the shuffleboard attempt at the end.

I'm sure those laptops were free and broken down that they got somewhere, if not then that's a waste of a decent Linux laptop.

Didn't watch the vid. Was it something to do with curling? If so, was it to do with curling one out? Because my Mrs don't like me watching pron :)

That was pretty good. The best part was when the guy went to make a basket and fell over, not even getting it up.

I had an old Gateway as a temp/secondary laptop that basically died out altogether. I had a lot of fun taking it completely apart.

Agreed. I'm pro-donating and ebaying old stuff. For example, my sister buy BEBE and A&F clothing and because she packed on a few pound she through all her clothes in the garabage. I took them out, washed them and tookt them to a battered woman's shelter. And, for some reason she was ****** about it. They could have at least took it apart and sodl the parts or even made something creative out of it. I know someone who takes old iMac that are completely unrepairable and makes cat homes and fishbowls out of them.
