Seriously why has no one made me a receiver/power amp I could fry eggs on? Then I would never have to go to the kitchen for food.

you can put oil on top of a class A amp and fry eggs on it :)p1

You can always use worthless CDs a coasters...

If you're feeling adventurous, put a cd in the microwave for a few seconds.
edit: please be aware this is not the safest thing to do

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

Modern above entry level soundcards (or ADC + DAC) make for very good oscillloscopes and signal generators. Unfortunately, narrow bandwidth in the low 100s kHz, usually not DC accurate without aid and limited to +/-2V (+/- sqrt(2) V in the cheapest ones). The latter is fixable with a good extra input stage.

That's a soundcard in disguise:

Girlfriend Coat.  The coat simulates hugs, while the headphones whisper girlfriendy things in your ears.

Careful, If it gains access to a wireless internet connection while you've been out drinking with the boys it can upgrade iteself to the Wife-Coat 1.0!!   ;)
