Abstract Robot Duck

Stripping the essence of duckness down to its first principle, the Robot Duck Kit waddles on giant yellow feet. It does not, however, appear to quack. The price is $17 at Amazon. [via Red Ferret]

   I like it!

   I bought one of these as a Winter Solstice gift for a friend’s kid last year; it’s really cute. If you buy one, however, be sure you load it up with an alkaline battery and not a NiCd or similar; 1.2V couldn’t overcome the transmission’s friction, but the 1.5V from the alkaline worked just fine.

   Ceci n’est pas un canard.

   If it doesn’t look like a duck and doesn’t quack like a duck, it probably isn’t a duck?

   I don’t know, I feel like a bill is an essential part of duckness.
