An anonymous reader sent us a link to these neat speakers made from used cans. Oddly enough they convey a rather chic sense of style. The instructions are written in german – but you can pretty much infer the necessary steps from the supplied images. I’m guessing they may sound a bit “tinny”? – Link

Oh man, “tinny”?
You just had to go there, didn’t you.
I’d say that these are speakers for the maker with a “can do” attitude! ;^)
Oh Lord, what have I done?
Tinny? ha!
I may be punchy and over-caffeinated right now, but that is easily the best pun i’ve heard in 2008.
Hmm, technically those cans are steel not tin. So this is really a case of irony.
ZING!
I bet they listen to a lot of heavy metal.
Or maybe Steely Dan?
Which, at excessive volume levels, can lead to tinnitus.
But that isn’t related to having a “tin ear”, which can exist for the listener at any volume level.
Save Ferrous – err, Ferris!
C’mon now, that was completely unrelated. If you can’t stay on topic I’ll have to ask you to can it
Those would be Soup’r!
It’s a good idea, and you won’t have to fork over too many beans for these.
Another application of these speakers would be to install them at the Moulin Rouge to provide the appropriate touch when the ladies do the can-can. Please don’t hit me!
