JaffaokSure, the tie-tying machine was cool.

But you can't eat a tie.

From down under comes this awesome creation, conceived and built by a mad Australian not named Max.

From the inventor:
________________

The attached machine throws Jaffas (small round orange sweets)

Jaffas_1across my living room into the laps of my daughters (chosen randomly) while they watch videos.

Range 14 feet.

C.A.P. (Circular Area of Probability) about 2 feet.

Firing rate 4/hour.

Built out of recycled junk and exhibited in the "Junk Love" art show in Sydney, Australia in 2001.

Computer-controlled (visual basic and C++).

All functions have polling and feedback.
________________

I am humbled that someone so smart would take the time to give me a world exclusive on his awesome creation.

Australia (along with Iceland) rules.
