Why did the present box tick?
Have you got any Christmas presents? I already got 3! Interesting thing, that the first one i received from the Pakistani guy who owns a fruit kiosk in front of our house. He gave me a box with plastic flower on the top which is turning around and never stops. Quite cool, except of the thing that Evgeny distroyed the box, to see how exactly this mechanism works, because first time he put his ear close to the box it was ticking. As he said, he just wanted to be sure... And what he found out was just a simple mechanical watch mechanism that makes the box turn. Unfortunately, as a result of such experiment the flower now is turning on the top of completely destroyed box.

Please remind to him a golden rule of engineering: "If it works, DON'T-F*CKING-TOUCH IT!" I think it would be useful for such "researchers" to try to create something in their life themselves. I hope it will eliminate any wish to destroy anything from their stupid curiosity.
