I’ve posted some stupid products lately. I don’t know why. They’re just indicative of what’s been tickling my fancy. But today I’m plumbing new depths. With this. The potty golf set. That’s right. Make Christmas special this year with this easy to assemble toilet golf putter game. It fits snuggly against the base of the loo – allowing you to putt while you do your business.
This must surely be a joke. If not, the Pomegranate NS08 is the iPhone killer. It comes with an in built coffee brewer. Based loosely on the “pod” concept this phone has an in built mechanism to suck up water and push it through a pod holding section of the device. It’s also an electric razor. Their website is worryingly well made and convincing. But it’s got to be a joke right? I’m pretty sure it is. But the site is worth a look.
The in-built harmonica is the giveaway really. And the accompanying video.
The whole Pirate v Ninja debate just doesn’t do it for me. It just doesn’t make any sense. What can a pirate possibly bring to the party? Nothing. That’s right. Ninjas are a black wrapped package of awesome. And now, you can ninjafi your fridge with these shuriken magnets. Just $19US a pair, plus postage… that’s a lot to pay for a set of magnets…
You have the time or inclination to build yourself a fully functioning Daft Punk helmet. Like this guy. Who also has a funky rollover thing happening in the sidebar of his site. It’s pretty cool.

Engadget has compiled a list of stupid gadgets that should be avoided at all costs. There seems to be a particular focus on mice.
Like this one:
It sure is dumb. It’s a red piggy mouse. Some of them are quite cool. I would buy them. But I’m not sure why, or why they were ever invented. Like the Mouse Scale… for those people wanting to keep track of how much their hand weighs?
Luckily it comes with a cover for when your hands are feeling a little fat…
The real winner, as far as I’m concerned, is the USB powered “monkey” hand warmers.
For those looking for a little monkey magic – there’s a matching footwarmer. At $46US for the set – plus postage. A great Christmas present. Shame I live in the tropics.
This clock is remarkably similar to a chemistry assignment I did in year 12. If only I’d gone into commercial science…
An invention for the ages. Headbutt your friends in the ultimate pedal powered version of push me pull me. As you lose weight through exertion your friend gets closer to the road – eventually taking over with catastrophic consequences:
Someone much more technically astute than me designed this cube – that lights up when you get a new email in your gmail account.
My hatred of emoticons knows no bounds and has been documented previously. They are bad. They are for lazy writers – they are an exclamation mark taken to a new low. So the idea of a USB keyboard dedicated to emoticons just makes me feel empty inside. Those who are interested may like to know that they can be removed from the keyboard and worn as jewelry.
Bajca’s (the company) designer says:
Bajca’s idea arise from connecting deeply the virtual with the real life. Bajca is the instrument that ” make real” the emotion- a digital translation of every sensation- telling the story of everyday life; spoken, touched and wearn every day.
I say :(. No word yet on how much these will set you back financially – socially they’ll be crippling.
This fully posable warning sign finally allows you to warn others of the perils of your mastery of obscure strains of martial arts. Otherwise it’s completely useless.
