Making a Magic Rubix Cube Need suggestions

Hi guys I am making a Rubix cube called the Cube of Fortune in 4ed DND Not going to get specifics about how to activate it but once activated it delivers(VIA quick open and close PORTAL) something that could benefit a party during combat(daily) I am trying to develop a random list of 100 things that this cube could deliver with a few duds(useless or nuisance items) Have fun with this I play with jokers and I have already put a 80's wood panel station wagon similar to Ash in Army of Darkness. Looking forward to suggestions
A swarm of Butterflies. hundreds, obscures vision, fascinates or confuses viewers. A screaming baboon. A spinning blade trap Wicker Golem
Thanks I like it.
you should build in some sort of consequence for removing the stickers and reappling them.  as a player that would be my inclination.
The old favourite: a portable hole.
No stickers - have them be gems - each gem removed causes an effect, and takes away one good item the Cube can conjure. 1d6 minions (this is 4e right?) that fight to defend the activator of The Cube of Fortune. A gust of wind spell - 1d12 for the direction the spell is cast away from the Cube bearer. A web spell - 2d8-1 for the direction the spell is cast away from the Cube bearer.                       1-12 = radial projection (around the Cube Bearer in an "o'clock" fashion)                    13-14 = spell is cast above Cube bearer,                       15  =  spell is centered on the Cube bearer. Grease spot (random size) appears a (random) distance away from Cube Bearer. -4 dex checks while moving in the spot. Swarm of bats Circus dogs
Thank you for all your ideas i am going to have alot of fun with this
A dire porpoise (bonus points if PCs are not in a water area). Sovereign Glue (AV1) (DC 29 strength check to pull two glued objects apart) Sentient magic rope, immediately tries to bind the appendages of whomever its thrown at. Fog
A magic dog!
I have edited the cube. I am still taking any suggestions.  Thanks to all those who have provided ideas so far I am liking the originality. 
A pipe organ. It'll seem random, but it's very effective if it gets dropped on a bad guy. :)
I like that idea. I would have to work out the logistics of who it lands on. Thanks for the suggestions keep them coming
Finn, maybe just some simple deviation rules.  Have the person with the cube roll a d6 or something?  I actually don't know the 4E rules well enough to make any other suggestion. I actually had a DM once who made a wand of random things and, if you rolled the right percentage, you'd get a pipe organ.  It was a bit surprising how often that turned up.  In the case of the wand, the organ would just drop on whatever target you were pointing out. :)
Random things to pop out of a magical Rubik's cube artifact? An echo of a secret spoken aloud in the past year by someone within 300 feet of the cube. An entertaining lie told in the voice and with the mannerisms of speech of the person holding the cube. A painting of a fictional character. A portals worth of broken bits and pieces of spent magic items. A mastercraft dagger of an effective magical material. A door hinge. A delicacy from a foreign land, outside the comfort zone of the person holding the cube. The person holding the cube suddenly appears from another possible history, if the same person gets this result again, the person holding the cube instead disappears, called by another cube in an alternate possibility. A mimic in the shape of a valuable. A bite from the Terrasque. Head appears, bites at GM determined target, portal closes cutting the head off, body on other side of portal regenerates a new head, head on this side of portal dies and decays to dust at the speed of plot. A one meter by one meter by one meter cube of grass covered dirt. An Anchient Elven made +1 longsword. Chlorine Trifluoride. &nbsp; <a href="http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2008/02/26/sand_wont_save_you_this_time.php" rel="nofollow">http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2008/02/26/sand_wont_save_you_this_time.php</a> &nbsp; one of the few chemicals you can pour on wet sand, and receive fire with no measurable ignition delay. A fully functional Millennium Falcon... 1/60 scale. I ran out of time.
A bottle with random contents. Might be a magical potion, a poison, glue or wood oil. Skills or spells would be used to determine what. A random tool a normal farmer might have. Pitchfork, hammer, iron spit etc A single silver penny and a button. (or something else some random person of no import in some unknown city might be carrying in their pocket at the time)
Roll twice more.
