Heron, in ancient Greece, worked out a device similar to an automatic door
found today. It was a shrine door, which automatically opened when a fire
at and altar in the shrine burned up and closed when the fire went down.
An automatic device was also invented by him, from which holy water came
out when a coin was thrown into the device.

In the Philippines they make little doll men covered with barrels that when a
button is pushed, drop the barrel and pop up a giant penis.

Since that's much like your 'acting on whim'–
maybe you should start working on G2K and Joseph McElroy
action figures :)

That would be a Joseph Franklyn McElroy action figure with penis that lights
when you push the nose.
