Oh good. This segues nicely into a question I asked a few people at the
conference.

What's the name of that toy that is a small cylinder with taut canvas
stretched over both ends that makes a 'moo' sound when you turn it upside
down. (For those of you who have seen 'Delicatessen,' these are being
constructed by two of the characters during the course of the film.)

I've always called them 'moo-boxes,' and I've yet to learn what they're
actually called. Does anyone know?
