I selected an ordinary enough looking object for this week's weird object. Sure, it looks like a flashlight, but it has very special powers. It has an array of buttons on both sides that produce soothing sounds of the following: north woods, gentle stream, chimes, ocean, tropical forest, starry night, and spring rain. The sounds are cool, but what I'm trying to figure out is, on a FLASHLIGHT? What's that all about?
I used to have this light in the car for emergencies. Problem was, stuff would hit it or brush up against it and all of a sudden as we drive along, we're wondering "What is that sound?", as in "Why does the car suddenly explode with the sound crickets, or a babbling brook, or ocean waves?
It's the combination that makes it weird to me, like having an mp3 player on an electric shaver, or an FM radio on a toaster.
Here's what it looks like:
And here it is illuminating...could it be...a...CHICKEN???

Too bad it doesn't make the sound of the item you are shining the light on. Cockadoodledo!
Maybe the sounds are white noise, designed to lull you to sleep, and the flashlight provides the light for the middle of the night when it's time to get up and go to the bathroom!
Jen: A rooster alarm clock would be a great idea. Or not.
Pigeon: Brilliant! Maybe I'll put it to work that way.
I remember hearing crickets last time I was there in your car! I'd forgotten about that. That is too funny.
That is strange. Why would those sounds be on a flashlight?
