[b]It doesn't[/b] surprise me that people think that recorders don't help you in life or teach you anything. However, they couldn't be more wrong. Recorders definitely help. Here are just some ways: 1. If you're stranded in the forest you can play Hot Cross Buns to bring a magical space attack helicopter that can fly through trees to your location 2. You can troll people with it and annoy them like crazy 3. If you want privacy then just whip out the recorder and everyone will run away 4. If you're getting chased by the cops, play a song and you will be a free man/woman/attack helicopter 5. You can see John Cena if you can master a recorder 6. You can summon both Satan and Santa I will add more when I can. I hope this helped. btw there is a joke in this Edit: Made joke obviously obvious
