You *understand* Beanie Babies? Clue me in on this one. They probably cost > $2 to make, and they sell for incredibly high prices. Sheesh.

> I understand Tickle Me Elmo. I obviously understand Star Wars. I don't understand Furbies. Bulbous non-cuddlable balls with bulging eyes. I don't get it. Maybe you can explain to me the attraction? Where the heck did they come from, anyway? Were they something else before they were a toy that's in high demand because some market analyst said they'd be in high demand?

I agree with GreenJeenz, those things are pretty keen. If I was a little kid, I'd want one. Wait, I wouldn't mind one now...
