35mm camera that you snap together like a car-kit

This cracked me up so much I had to share it.

From Boing-Boing:

http://www.boingboing.net/2005/11/11/35mm_camera_that_you.html

From the Babelfish translation of the page:

"The principle that the light which passed by the lens ties the image to the film surface, is the expectation which was learned even in the school, but really, how doing, it can hoist the film, the shutter is set, the counter advances, that as for the notion that where you say whether the film is rewound after the photographing again, being hidden in most black boxes, with the one which you do not know being more?"

Now all we need is a molded plastic snap together Mini, and an online manual in Japanese

It makes sense, considering you can make a camera with as little as a shoebox and a pin hole.

Indeed. I wonder if this camera would give you results as good as the beloved Holga?
