This man has invented a device that randomly generates episodes of ‘The Simpsons’

It's like an iPod Shuffle for your TV.

Best. Invention. Ever.

While The Simpsons isn’t the show it used to be, it’s still nice to flick on the telly every now and again to catch an episode from the glory years.

JOE reader Stephen Coyle, from Co Donegal, in Ireland, obviously feels the same, because he’s come up with a device that randomly generates episodes of The Simpsons (seasons 2 – 10) at the flick of a switch.

Well, the press of a button to be more precise. You get the picture.

As you might suspect, a fair bit of work goes into the creation of a device like the one above.

Rather than elaborate on these pages, however, we reckon it’s better to examine it in further detail on Stephen’s blog here, which is particularly worth reading if you’re a bit of tech whizz and fancy doing something similar yourself.

Stephen has done all the hard work already and this is what the finished product looks like…

Fair play Stephen, this one gets a big fat YEEEEESSSSS from us.
