I declare a thumb war, yes this is entertainment – but the hazards are real.
Settle your disputes for good in this thumb wrestling ring:
I love pointless kitschy gadgets. But that’s enough for today.
Tag: gizmos
One, two, three, four
Ice, Ice, invaders
Perfect for your next retro gaming party – and just $US7.99 (joystick not included).
Awesome skillz
“You know, like nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills… Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.”
Not since Napoleon Dynamite waxed lyrical about the virtues of the nunchuck have the ancient ninja weapon been so cool. Ok, I guess when Bruce Lee played ping pong with them they were cool too:
But butane lighter/flashlight combo cool? No way. These were so cool they’re now discontinued. Out of spiteful awesomeness.
He’s just not that into you…
Ever played that game with the flower where you peel off a petal at a time? Ever wondered just what effect you’re having on your loved one? Well, wonder no longer. If you’re setting your nearest and dearest’s heart a flutter you’ll know it with this heart monitor ring – perfect for any couple thinking about getting engaged. It’s a cheap engagement ring too – at $US39.95 – and you can instantly monitor the response to your proposal. Found here.
Duel purpose
Challenging someone to a duel by “throwing down the gauntlet” is much harder post the dark ages. Which presents a difficult social problem when someone insults your mother. Luckily you can buy these for just $US60. They’re sure to stop the office “your mumma” jokes quicker than a witty comeback.
Pi are cubed
Hosting a party for the local mathlete team? Or trying to learn a particular letter of the greek alphabet? Then these are the ice cubes for you ($US8.99).
Alternatively, if Tetris is your thing you can get these ($US9.99):
Facebank
Zazz is selling the totally awesome Facebank.
For $17.95 plus postage. For today only.
Horseplay
I love the Godfather. Everyone should. I even liked the third installment. Unlike the guy who did the trilogy meter. But the first was the best. And any fan of the first will no doubt want one of these in their bed:

These are full sized horse head plush™ pieces and are larger than you might think (33 inches[84cm] from nose to neck, 19 inches[48cm] tall). They feature the highest quality soft, synthetic fur and mane, felt tongues, and our signature quality workmanship. Stuffed with non-allergenic soft polyester fiber fill, they feel just like you would hope they would. We are also offering these unstuffed for those who want to save on stuffing and shipping costs. Just be thankful that we aren’t having to ship the whole horse.
You can buy them stuffed for $US45 or unstuffed for $US35 plus shipping.
Worth your salt
These Rubik’s Cube salt and pepper shakers are the perfect accessory for your multicoloured kitchen. Admit it. You’ve been waiting for me to post a stupid gadget all day – or since I posted the drinking cups with the peeing boy.
They’re just £11.99. Each. Here.
Hollowgram
This is cool. It was in my list of links today – or yesterday – but deserves a post of its own. Find out how to make one here.
Power to the people
Not only will this bad boy have you singing Snap!’s I’ve Got The Power. It will also generate 2 watts at normal walking speed. That’s enough to power personal electronic devices. It’s being spruiked as a solution for power generation in Africa.
Ping Pong|gnop gnip
Mirror, mirror on the floor – who’s the best player of them all?
I spent a disproportionate amount of my time in grade 11 and 12 trying to answer that question. Downstairs. At my parents house. Playing table tennis.
If only we’d had a table this cool:
Mirrored table tennis tables and glass pool tables are the future. The future is now.
Child labour
I mentioned earlier today that I’m not really comfortable giving parenting advice. But whipping up one of these little practical costumes seems like a reasonable idea to me. Put your kiddy’s crawling to good use. It’s much cheaper than a roomba.

Have your cake, and eat it too
This is the greatest invention since sliced cake. Seriously. Ever tried being obsessive compulsive and cutting a cake for a wide range of size preferences? No? Me neither.
But I imagine this cake tin that does the distributing for you is the answer. Found at bookofjoe.
$US36 seems a small price to pay for party parity. Ok, not really parity in the mathematical sense, more parity in the sense of being satisfied with your portion size – I just liked the alliteration.
For the guy who has everything
I really have nothing more to say. Except that it’s from here. And I saw it first here. And they’re 9.95 Euros. I think for one. But I’m not sure. The sale page is in German and I haven’t translated it.
