Eat your words!
As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to share it with y'all.

In the spirit of breathing new life into old gadgets, as well as creating the nerdiest breakfast tool ever, designer Chris Dimino managed to make a typewriter into a waffle maker.
The Corona-Matic Waffle maker (which is currently only a prototype) not only produces an extremely large, rectangular, and potentially delicious waffle. Since it's made from an old Corona typewriter, it imprints a keyboard shape into your breakfast food.
The product was spurred by a challenge from Dimino's art school, the School of Visual Arts in New York, to take a "useless product" and make it functional again.
It's hard to say if this item will ever become commercialized (how many Smith Corona-Matic typewriters are floating around?) but it's a bit more appetizing than one of Dimino's other typewriter-inspired inventions--the Ashes to Ashes urn.

Er. At least we can count on it being a QWERTY keyboard!
I want to use the keyboard to make a mold/reverse, so that the waffles will actually come out positive instead of negative.
While you're fine-tuning, can I eat the rejects?
Laura- I love the idea of a reverse mold, but will the finished waffle hold enough syrup? Gotta have enough syrup!
Sure, Clare!
Elaine...hmmm...that's a good point. But I think so!
I do believe I have a Smith Corona typewriter that did, indeed, float on by --- well, maybe it wasn't that buoyant, but you get my drift.
I'm sure this flooding and floating will all pass and my puns will get punnier. Thanks for baring with me!
