Weeble

/wee'b*l/ An egg-shaped plastic toy person with a weight in

the bottom so that, if tipped over, they would right

themselves and stand up again. They were popular in the UK

during the 1970s and were famous for the slogan "Weebles

wobble but they don't fall down", unlike some computers

(pretty tenuous link with computing).
