So what, you say, gaggles of geeks are high on their Macs. These guys are guaranteed higher. In fact, they're high FROM their Mac. They've turned it into a bong! That's stonerspeak for a water pipe used to smoke marijuana (rent a Cheech and Chong movie if you'd like to learn more). How did they do it? It took some installation and lots of inhalation. The guys added a large tube to the back of an all-in-one Mac SE30, a bowl to the front and the water bong behind the screen. They call their smokin' little gadget the "iBong" -- it's the only Mac that'll give you the munchies. They say they got the idea from the MacQuarium Macintosh modification, which turns an all-in-one Mac into a fish tank.
