instructables update

So i've been tossing around a few new ideas for this project. One of them is making talking dolls of people i know. Zander says "You know what?" all the time!!! So I was thinking of making a stuffed doll of him with a button in the arm that when pushed will play a recording of him saying You know what? And one of my brother which would be more complicated because it would have several sayings that it would cycle through.

And then I was thinking about how Thomas said that he hacked a webcam on his shoulder to be controlled by wiimote and I was thinking of building on this idea. I love the movie the Emperor's New Groove and Krunk's shoulder angels are one of my favorite parts. So I was thinking of getting a really creepy doll, like a living dead doll to sit on my shoulder with a web cam in its head that would be controlled by a nunchuck so that I could turn the dolls head to follow people that walk by and get it all on tape! these are living dead dolls:

Maybe even make a devil and an angel to be actual shoulder angels. They would have speakers in them that you could use the controller to speak through to make them whisper suggestions in your ear. This would be great if you walked through the mall and had a friend controlling each doll following at a distance so that they could control the dolls movements and words. Imagine seeing that at the mall!
