I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

I actually knew a couple that use to leave a hair dryer on at night to act as a neutralizing noise so they could sleep.

I suggested a sound machine by HoMedics - http://www.homedics.com/home/sounds/soundspas.html?gclid=CMag4pvhwqcCFcns7QodY2l...

They said that they preferred the hair dryer... Roll Eyes

The dumbass's nearly burnt their house down... Roll Eyes

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.”

About the egg one... If the egg may contain egg... Does the egg that it may contain, also contain egg? And does the egg that the egg contains also contain egg?

Takes all kinds.  Grin
BTW, thanks for the link Rom. My current one is a simple two speed fan in a round plastic housing with holes and slots and a sleeve that can be turned to adjust the sound, simple white noise. But it is the second one I've had and it's probably fifteen or twenty years old. So your link may come in handy any day now.

Hmm, I seem to remember something we got for the kids one Easter. It was a plastic egg containing a smaller plastic egg, etc. I think the last one had a small chocolate egg in it.

I have the SoundSpa® Premier AM/FM Clock Radio. I like the ocean (it also has the sounds of gulls) or waterfall sounds. Only complaint so far is that even on the dim setting it's quite bright. Makes for one hell of a night light.... lmao

The bird one actually is not dumb, as non-stick pans give off fumes that are harmful to birds. A lot of people don't know that, thus the warning.

Truth be known, it's probably harmful to us too. But they want to keep that a secret.
