Holy inappropriate vintage toys, Batman!

Yes, because I’ve always wanted to squirt evil in the face with Batman’s Johnson.

Next month: Blogger Tycoon

…Unless they’ve already done it.
Seriously, something needs to be done about this Tycoon franchise.  I know we hound EA for making basically every concievable Sims game possible, up to and including “The Sims Pawn Shop Stuff,” but in the meantime, something’s slipped under our noses the whole time.
The Tycoon franchise is out of control.  While [...]

Stories that make you go, “Huh?”

Like this one.
Frankly, I don’t understand why the craft is dying out.  You’d think there’d be a huge market for ceramic organs.
“There were many people making ceramics, but now locally there is just us,” said Casilda. “We exported to Germany, Canada and France. Today we just sell to visitors and local shops.”
The sad thing is [...]

Rain man

Just what I’ve been looking for: an umbrella that tells me when it’s going to rain!  Of course, if it’s not going to rain, you’re going to look like a dork for carrying around an umbrella.  But I suppose that’s a small price to pay.
Now I just need to wait for the parka that tells me when it’s going to snow.

Snore-B-Gone

An outfit calling itself Brookstone has created what it claims is an anti-snore pillow.  I don’t know the specifics behind the technology (my job is to report, not to learn), but I’ve always considered anti-snore technology to be a glass of ice cold water.

Inexpensive handsfree

If you’re like me and you want all things technological, then this is for you.  I have a Bluetooth handsfree and while it works, it simply doesn’t cut off circulation to the brain quite as well as this model does.
This handsfree should be available in stores later this month, or if you’re impatient, near the [...]

Unleash the beast

Let your disabled friends off-road it.

Gentlemen…

…You NEED this ring.

Do-it-yourself crap

Assuming you want to make a naked person lamp. This probably wouldn’t make a good Mother’s Day gift, especially now that it’s a day late. You mom would smile and then heartily kick you in the shins.

Fun in the tub

Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be any more uses for the LED light, you are reminded of the cliché, “Where there’s a will, there’s an over-priced plastic bathtub that glows in the dark.”

Food for thought

In one of the strangest cases of technology I can think of, NEC has invented a robot that can tell you, via infrared wavelengths, what, exactly, an “infrared wavelength” is.
No, what is actually does is far more annoying: it tells you what kind of food you’re eating. This would be incredibly useful if anyone really [...]

Give your HDD an extreme makeover

Thanks to Grynx, you’ll be able to see the inner working components of your hard drive and immediately know when to defrag. Just replace the top of any drive with a piece of clear Plexiglas, and you will instantaneously become the world’s largest dork.

Wax your motherboard for increased speed!

Not quite. But there is something close: WiFi Speed Spray. Just a few quick squirts from this baby, and your wireless Internet connection will BLAZE with speeds of up to 18Mbps per meter. Act now and you’ll receive TWO WiFi Speed Sprays for the price of three! Just listen to this REAL testimonial:
“It’s an amazing [...]

A softer, fluffier alarm clock

I hate alarm clocks. They’re loud, annoying, and wake you up at the most inappropriate times. However, the guys and girls at Phillips–famous for alarm clocks, TV’s, DVD players, and other electronics–have decided to join the 21st century and enter the pillow market.
Their invention: The LED SMS Pillow. Tiny LED lights line the top of [...]

A musical high

To anyone who has every seriously considered using illicit drugs: wait. The folks at Audiotronic have found a loophole–they have invented an MP3 player with a faceplate that smells like marijuana. There are other perks about the gizmo as well, such as an SD card slot and the ability to play illegally-downloaded MP3 songs, but [...]
