Bust-a-Move, or Bust-a-Salad? Now you can have both!

Also courtesy of Time Extension comes this story of a scientist who turned his wife's salad slicer into a rotary controller for Puzzle Bobble (or Bust-a-Move, if you're nasty). I've got a few issues with this, though. First, he uses a mouse as input for the game, which is not typically how the game is played. Second, this makes actually playing the game distressingly reminiscent of Bust-a-Move Again, where the twin dragons (or brontosaurs?) are booted for a hand working a crank. Why, Taito and SNK? Just why?

It's still kind of neat, though. It's probably worth pointing out that this gentleman has a habit of turning household appliances into video game input devices, like how Jimmy Neutron steals all his straight-from-the-fifties father's toasters for his inventions. Dude's name, and I love this, is Hugh Beaumont Neutron. I mean, what else could it be?
