We know that Apple PowerBooks weren’t exactly the cheapest notebooks all those years ago, but then again they could be much more affordable than purchasing a whole new snowboard. Which is where this seemingly brilliant idea came about – merging two PowerBooks into a single snowboard. Of course, Apple lovers will probably cringe to see power drills desecrating the sanctity of what was once a sought-after notebook, only to have it slide down a slope of snow while providing an adrenaline rush of the different kind.

We’re pretty sure that some of you out there have twirled pens and books in class before, much to the chagrin of your teacher or lecturer. However, there are some of us who have failed to master that art, which is where the 360° Pen comes in. It comes with a hole where you can slip your finger through, allowing you to twirl it all day long (save for breaks where you are supposed to write down notes and stuff, of course. No word on pricing, but this makes for a great irritant.

Love making a nuisance of yourself at company meetings in order to live up to your reputation of being the resident office clown? You won’t go wrong with the Washboard Tie from Urban Outfitters, where it merges the best (or should we say, most foolish) of formal wear alongside a musical instrument. Made from stainless steel, you can be sure this is one tie that will never rust no matter how many times it is washed. It will come coupled with a two thimbles in order to increase its effectiveness where making noise (and not music) is concerned.

How many USB ports can a geek have? The right answer would be, never! After all, a USB port is to a geek what handbags and shoes are to most women, you never know when you might just need one. This USB hub takes a very different approach from normal ones by coming in the form of a flower/symmetrical cross, adding in a quartet of ports to your computer for you to plug in another four devices of your choice. Too bad it doesn’t do USB 3.0 yet, although we’re pretty sure that we will see the same design sometime down the road with USB 3.0 connectivity. It is currently going for $6.69 a pop.

Show your superiors just how displeased you are at that day simply because you got up on the wrong side of the bed, using the Vomit Station to convey your feelings without the use of words. This person is currently paying homage to the porcelain throne, puking out whatever leftover fire curry he had for dinner last night while using his buttcrack to hold up business cards or other reminders that you’ve written down on a piece of paper. A magnetic mouth is also available for paperclips, while there is enough room for a note pad, some pens and pencils. $18.00 is the asking price for something so zany.

Remmeber back in your younger days when you wish you grew up as an architect? The Building Clock Calculator might be just the thing to rekindle that ambition when you’re balding and 40, shacking it up in a dead end job at the local hypermarket, using it to calculate the daily sales figures. This Building Block Calculator won’t be able to come up with magical figures that allow you build the next wonder of the world, but it is able to add, subtract, multiply and divide much faster than you when it comes to complex calculation. Available in red, green, blue and black colors, the Building Block Calculator retails for $26.99.

If you’re one who does plenty of presentations on the go, then chances are pretty good that you will find the Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer to be well worth the purchase by impressing the numerous Star Wars fans in your audience. A subtle use of the Jedi Mind Trick, if you will, to listen in to your presentation simply because of this common ground by being a fellow Jedi maniac. Too bad it only comes with red dot lasers instead of the purple colored BMF that belonged to the late Mace Windu or other color choices. Guess the Sith wins this time! The Star Wars Lightsaber Laser Pointer will retail for $14.99. Too bad this isn’t going to look too professional in a business setting.

Evel Knievel is one of the first and foremost names that flashes across your mind when it comes to stuntmen, and now Firebox is offering the £9.99 Evel Knievel Rip Pull that measures 10cm x 7cm, providing (almost) as much thrills and spills as the real person, although you won’t need to be saddled with insanely high insurance premiums with this.
All you do is pull the ripcord through the rear wheel to crank the gyro and you’re away. If anything, this fearless little Evel’s even faster than the iconic best seller. Plus he’s seriously portable. There’s even a stunt ramp and ominous-looking cut-out ‘ring of fire’ incorporated into the packaging. Next stop, Snake Canyon! Well maybe not. How about the conference room? Just think of the fun you’ll have using various desktop accessories to help/hinder your diminutive daredevil. He can leap over rows of red staplers, plummet into pin-infested pen tidies, and wheelie past piles of annual reports before performing wince-inducing wipe-outs en route to A and E. It’s just like the glory days, because watching poor ol’ Evel come a cropper is half the fun. Well okay, it’s all the fun. Hell, yeah!
Looks like just the thing to keep you occupied during those long and boring hours at the office. Of course, we’re sure your boss won’t be too amused when a wayward pull sees Evel land on his toupee.

Looking for something cute and yet not really functional for your desk? The Mini Shopping Trolley Desk Tidy fits the bill perfectly – after all, it comes in the form of a shopping trolley that even has its own wheels, where it can hold a handful of stationery equipment that doesn’t really look too organized when everything is plonked within. We guess this is more of a stress-reliever as you use it to remind yourself visually that there is still plenty of grocery shopping to be done before you head back home after office. Firebox is carrying the Mini Shopping Trolley Desk Tidy for £7.95.

Don’t you just hate the guy who tends to show off his collection of rocks (and by that we mean diamonds, not clumps of dirt you pick out from the backyard) to everyone and anyone at the office? Why not show off your contempt by giving him the Sovereign Mug? This £5.99 drinking contraption will be able to hold just about any beverage of your choice, although it boasts a handle that comes with a trio of sovereign rings that make you look like you’re adorned in cheap bling in the eyes of others. Too bad you’ll probably get your head whacked with this mug by a pawnshop owner whenever you run low on cash.
