Remember the Spirograph?
 

I always wanted one as a kid, but for whatever reason we never got one.
The commercials made them look very fun.

I ran across this link on fark one day.
Some guy created a Spirograph java applet that's too cool for school. ;)

Scroll down the page and use the slides to adjust the graph parameters to whatever patterns you like.

Spirograph

A great quote from The Simpsons:
"The decline in Spirograph sales has a direct correlation with the rise in criminal activity." or something to that extent

Interesting.
Better than the Spirograph™ of old.

Ah, it isn't realistic, there's no way to make the pen skip when you are almost done, destroying all of your hard work. Also, there's no pin pricks in the sheet. :D

go spirographs and lite-brite! :D

Ah, good times. I used to waste reams of paper on making spirographs over and over. Great find.
