Paperclip Piranha of Doom - With Realistic Bite Action!!!

OM NOM NOM!!

For the past, oh, say, four or five months, I've been tweaking paperclips to make a sort of toy/mechanical sculpture that bites things during my lunch breaks at work. Why? Hell if I know, I'm just weird I guess. I like making odd stuff like this.

I didn't really plan this out or do any blue-printing, just started bending stuff together to get what I wanted. It's a little clumsy to use, unfortunately, but it is neat looking, and it was fun. I could do more to add some stylistic decorations to it, but I got kind of sick of it once I finished up the mechanics and the teeth.

Anyways, the full picture set and some low-res videos I took with my old digital camera can be found here.

...

The real question is, what next? What new and crazy thing can I build out of paperclips? For some reason making interesting stuff out of mundane office supplies amuses me.
