'help me where i can find a circuit to make a bending machine that the product to be out is a fudge bar.'

I rec'd this classic quote from the yahoo circuit bending site, if it ain't spam I do worry about peoples mental health though maybe it ain't such a bad idea after all, it does seem to combine music and eating!

bizarre, you're not going to believe this but a few weeks back i got a very similar email with the same fundamental inability to understand the difference between bending and vending. Something about modifying a hot drinks dispenser  if i recall correctly.

I think it was from italy so i can only assume it was a language problem, or some kind of automatic translation weirdness. Either that or theres some very strange stuff going on over there.

In Spanish "B" and "V" are pronounced similarly - think about the  Dutch Ibiza-techno group Vengaboys, pronounced "Benga"...

I do wonder what other purpose a soft drink machine could serve...............the mind boggles, maybe it could be combined with the machine to make the fudge bar, then you've got confectionery pretty much covered.  Yeah in germany they call a vending machine a wending machine, i had to always correct my german friend with V and W.  Language can be a funny thing and lead to all sorts of chaos in communication.
