Thinkgeek's Broken Stuff giveaway

Take These Broken Things

Saw this on Twitter, Thinkgeek are currently gauging interest for those that would appreciate a box of broken merchandise sent every so often if you cover the postage costs. A kind of "green" initiative to reuse and recycle products they can't sell to people who could make cool things out of them.

For the builders amongst us, this can't be a bad thing. Think of bits and bobs and greeblies that could come from it. I'm in the UK, so it's not all that feasible for me, but I'm sure someone can benefit from it.

That's interesting...Hopefully it's not all unusable.

Somebody get Art! This is PERFECT for us!!! This (like the Weta Bison project) is what the RPF is made of! :thumbsup

Don't you have to be in a group or organization to do this?

I am an hour and a half to two hours away. I could pick up items and then distribute them out from here via a posted picture and whatever someone wants. I have family down in Columbus, so it would be even a better excuse to get down there for a pick up every once and awhile. I will volunteer if the RPF wants to go for such an endeavor.

I wish those ThinkGeek jackasses would stop dorking around and just offer the Dharma Clock.
