   Neat. But Thimg emerged out of a box and wasn’t a free roaming being

     In the TV show. In the movies, (thanks to the magic of CG), he was a free-roaming hand.

     You could say that the computer gave Thing a hand. :D

   This is why I can’t quit you, Steampunk.

   Just when I’m ready to write you off, someone comes out with a thing of such forethought, such beauty, a thing entirely devoid of obvious parts from the Home Depot plumbing department, and I fall in love all over again!

   Okay, that’s overstating it a mite, but this is pretty dang sweet.

   Banana.  I see no banana.

   Don’t believe the hype. Steampunk is the white man (and woman) colonialist fantasy non par.

   Does it work?
   Otherwise – fail.

     It looks like an art piece to me.  There doesn’t seem to be tendons on the palm side so the hand should only be able to open.

     I still approve.

   I think I’ll start making complex electronics out of cookie dough. It will be less pointless than steampunk because at least the comedic junk I produce will be edible
