THE MAD SCIENTIST'S HOUSE — When you wake up on a Sunday, you want breakfast but you don't want to make it. This guy has just solved all of your problems. Except your debt. You still need to take care of that.
Peter Brown wanted to make a machine that would make his wife breakfast on Sunday mornings. Not sure if that's sweet or lazy, but regardless Brown spent 1,000 hours making this machine.
The Rube Goldberg device makes either a cup of tea or a cup of coffee, depending on your preference, a perfect soft-boiled egg and a piece of toast. The whole contraption is pretty clever and utterly ridiculous, which was Brown's purpose.
In the video, Brown states that he wanted to make people laugh. But Peter, you said it was for your wife? The man may contradict himself, but he knows how to take 1,000 hours to make breakfast.
