Paint Your Own Pirate Chest Money Box

by edwin on July 3, 2009

Avast, me hearties! The Paint Your Own Pirate Chest Money Box is here to exemplify just how cheap of a person you are. After all, it retails for roughly $6 a pop, and comes unpainted as a ceramic chest, although you do get a paint kit to go along, where you can opt to cover it with colors of your choice without having to oven cure it. Once you’re done, you can start stuffing coins and other worthy items down its crack to start amassing wealth for the next generation.

USB Panda Hub

by edwin on July 3, 2009

Another day, another USB hub. This time round, we have the USB Panda Hub that is rather creepy when you come to think about it - sure, the product description did mention a “cutie panda design”, boasting four USB ports for you to plug in your various USB devices, but he’ll look more like a mutant monster when done due to the fact that in place of his front legs are the said USB ports, while his rear end stashes another two of those. Imagine sticking in a quartet of USB flash drives in simultaneously - he’ll look like a Dragoon from the Protoss race of the Starcraft universe. We won’t recommend this $11.50 USB Panda Hub to even our worst enemies since it maxes out at USB 1.1. C’mon guys, in this day and age?

This wrist developer is odd in more than one way.  At first glance it’s disturbing due to the male and female side puckering up in anticipation of the moment they will be joined together by someone with likely sweaty hands.  The other strange part is that it’s not a real wrist developer, when someone picks it up and starts to press them together, they’ll get a small shock.  Not enough to be overly painful, but enough to make them really want to get revenge on you.  You can purchase the wrist developer for $4.99 from DealExtreme.

The lip plumping trend has officially gone about two steps too far.  Now you can purchase a suction cup for your mouth to enhance your lips and give that Angelina Jolie look.  You could purchase special lip gloss before and could always go the needles route.  I suppose putting a suction cup to your mouth is a decent happy medium between the two.  You can purchase this Lip Enhancement Kit for $27.95 from the SkyMall.

You probably saw the alarm clock that was recently posted that requires you to finger dance to get it shut off.  For the chipper musical loving crowd, that’ll work out great.  However, getting to wake up in the morning and shoot something seems far more therapeutic.  Clearly more healthy too.  Well with this alarm clock an alien will pop out of his egg at the time the alarm is set to go off.  At which point he lets out a shrieking laugh and his creepy red eyes begin to flash.  In order to stop his ridiculous laughter you have to grab your gun and shoot him.  Sounds like a great way to start the day if you ask me.  You can purchase him for £19.99 or about $33.

This is probably one of the most bizarre USB drives I’ve seen.  It’s based off of an Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly, that lived in the 1800s.  It’s just so incredibly random to base a drive off of the man.  Ned Kelly is not only known as a criminal, but to some a folk hero.  He wasn’t all bad, but to create a flash drive in his image is just odd to say the least.  The Etsy page that it’s listed on makes matters even worse.  They don’t state why they created the drive in his image, nor do they give the important detail as to how much storage is on the drive.  Either way though, you’ll end up paying $70 for the drive if you’re interested.

RIPT Fusion T-shirt

by edwin on July 2, 2009

Don’t you just envy those Greek gods with bronzed bodies in figure-hugging shirts each time you go to the club on Saturday nights? Those are the guys who get all the ladies chasing after them, and boy do you wish you had a semblance of that body in order to share your bed with someone that night. Fret not - the RIPT Fusion T-shirt is here to help as it has been described as “a classic men’s undershirt injected with steroids”. Retailing for $58, it might sound expensive but comes with instant pecs and abs without having to fork out insane fees for a gym membership.

Finger Dance Alarm Clock

by edwin on July 2, 2009

Want to get an alarm clock that is definitely out of this world and totally different from the rest you’ve used before? The Finger Dance Alarm Clock fits the bill, and chances are you can tell from the name itself that it will be quite a challenge to shut the alarm once it goes off, assuming you’re characteristically drowsy each morning when you are jolted awake. You will need to place your fingers on the lighted up squares in the right sequence as shown to shut the alarm, otherwise using a hammer by the bedside might help, albeit that would mean smashing up a £9.99 device.

This is one design that would make a lot of people happy if it ever was created for mass production.  After all it doesn’t get much cooler than Battleship created with alcohol.  Granted, you could just play normal Battleship and just have the person do a shot every single time you sink one of their ships.  Which is exactly what you’ll have to do until this gets to the production stage of things.  It’d be a touch on the humorous side to play this drinking game on the 4th of July for those in the US.

Felt Star Trek Spock USB Drive

by ally on July 1, 2009

This is like the geeky USB drive you buy for your Star Trek loving grandmother.  Not only is it Spock, but it’s Spock made out of felt and then molded around a USB drive.  The drive isn’t all that large, it has 2GB of memory.  Thankfully though, it’s not an overpriced small drive.  You can purchase him for $35 from the seller AlasMyDear on Etsy.  Just what grandma always wanted.
