  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).
