A 69-year-old retired airplane pilot named Peter Browne has created the most lovable mechanical contraption this side of Short Circuit. Built with pal Mervyn Huggett, who I have to imagine was birthed whole cloth for an abandoned J.K. Rowling novel, the machine prepares the three core parts of a morning meal: the protein (an egg), the grain (toast), and the beverage (tea, naturally).

According to the YouTube page of SWNS TV, the project took “a total of 1,000 hours” over three months of construction. The video will, for most of us over the age of 30, trigger a certain memory, so to save you a Google, I’ll just embed the Pee-wee Herman bit.
