« Genius Russian madmen create cocktail-making typewriter »

That's right, it's a typewriter... but not as we know it. It can't stamp out a letter for you, but it can mix you a drink. A very weird, multi-coloured, word-based drink.

As you'll see from the video below, it's a complicated contraption -- all tubes and vials and buttons and such -- but it's an entrancing watch: seeing it get made as well as in action.

Essentially, the end result is a drink-making machine that allows you to "type" out a word and get a drink from it. Sure, you can't use the same letter twice, but hey -- it's a cocktail-making typewriter!
