iPod speaker amp-thing.

iPod speaker amp-thing.
This is a cool project that will take five minutes at the most.
The best part is that if you have all the parts, you don't have to buy anything.
the project is also kind of green because it recycles two plastic cups.
I should probably add that this was from popular science march 09

OMG they killed Kenny!  ....sorry, first thing I thought of when I saw the photo.

Can I use a paperclip heated over a flame punch the holes?  Because a diy project is always more fun with the addition of fire. 

(I know if I heat the cup too much it will melt flat cuz it's the same #6 plastic as shrinkydinks, takes seconds and makes a nice Cristmas ornament, bookmark, etc.)
