According to an email recieved by Kotaku from a guard at a "supermax" prison, creative inmates at the facility are using the N64 rumble pack to apply ink.

"They do it in their rooms with a battery (power) taped to a tube (could be a pen or a tightly wound piece of paper). The motor from the rumble pack is taken out and attached to the top of the tube. A needle or pin is run down the middle of the tube. when "on" the needle will move up and down like a sewing machine. The needle is then dipped in "ink." This is made a number of ways the easiest is to use ball point pen ink, but they could use other items to get different colors or looks."

Never underestimate the ingenuity of people with absolutely nothing to do.
