I aim one day to be the kid up on the terrace

I have created a musical instrument composed entirely of paper clips and bananca clips wedged between the two blocks of wood that constitute the top surface of my desk. One day, a visitor will walk through my office and hear its strains echoing into the conference room, and, God willing, it will creep them into next Tuesday

Did you know if you hold one end of the rubber band and put the other end around your finger, stretch the rubber band, put your finger in your ear, and pluck the band, it sounds just like an electric bass?

Given a sufficient rubber band you can even play Smoke on the Water. Be careful that you hold on to the other (non-ear finger) end, a snap on the ear during a passionate rubber band/electric bass solo can be really painful!

Dont you need four hands for that? "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, this night only, Vishnu and the Octopi!"
