Money no object (brains optional)

There are some things that money can’t buy, here we share some gadgets whose price and brains required are inversely proportional

elvis-150x177

I’ve never understood the garbage that people will buy that used to belong to some celebrity.  It gets even more appalling if that celebrity is no longer living.  Well apparently Elvis’ barber hung onto some of Elvis’ hair.  Which is just weird.  It was put up for auction in Memphis along with several other Elvis themed items.  The whole line of Elvis products went for $650,000.  The Elvis hair alone went for $17,000.  Why on earth would you spend that much on a dead person’s hair?!  Just…..ew.

Jet Black Tissues

Tissues are always so white, which just seems all wrong since most of the time you’re using them due to dark times.  Be it a nasty cold or you’re crying over some misfortune, cheerful white just doesn’t seem like it should be the color to mop up your mess. Thankfully one company has created some jet black tissues.  Apparently in Japan they choose a lot of black items, because black has a clean feeling to it.  Truthfully, I can’t say that I’ve ever noticed black feeling clean.  However, now thanks to the Japanese love for black you can have these tissues through the Japan Trend Shop.  Unfortunately you have to buy 20 boxes at a time for $240….oh yah, and $123 for shipping.  It’s a real bargain!

The Hogshead Inflatable Pub

by edwin on July 3, 2010

inflatable-pubIf I had to fork out £27,815 for the Hogshead Inflatable Pub, then I’d better be on the receiving end of free delivery. Good thing Drinkstuff does just that, with this unique traditional public house being the first of its kind in the world. It stands at a whopping 8 meters tall and measures 15 feet wide, letting you set up a drinking den just about anywhere. Who are going to bring the barrels of beer over though? No detail is lost, as this unique pub comes with an artistic tiled roof, brick stone wall, two chimney pots and even a welcoming fire place feature. Capable of holding up to 50 pax inside, you might want to avoid only responsible drinking adults since the more juvenile in thinking might just cause a rip and have the entire pub come toppling down on your heads.

From what I have gathered, technology being mixed in with fashion isn’t exactly something that is thrilling most people.  However, there are those that keep on attempting to make it the next big thing.  The truth is they might actually succeed yet, although I can’t say that I’m exactly ready to jump on the bandwagon.  Those of you that have always liked small handheld fans, the old fashioned kind, can now get an updated version.  This fan is packed full of LED lights and solar panels.  You’ll get a miniature light show every single time you need to cool down.  You can purchase one of these fans for the affordable price of £1,314.00 or about $1,944.

Star Trek Vulcan Lute Prop Replica

by ally on May 13, 2010

vulcan-lute-replica

The fantastic thing about the geek world is that we’re so out of step with everyone else we have our own musical instruments.  The most popular is probably the ocarina, but now you can even own the Star Trek Original Series Vulcan Lute Prop Replica.  Sadly you won’t be able to start up a band with this one since it doesn’t actually play music, it just sits there and looks pretty.  Which is a bit ridiculous since this non-working musical instrument will cost you $2,009.99.  At that pric it should do something besides take up space in your house.  You can pick it up through Entertainment Earth.

Water Wings Stool

Sitting in the middle of your living room can be extremely terrifying.  You never know when someone will leave the bath tub running too long and you’ll need something to keep you floating on the surface.  Sure, some people might find it to be a bit strange, but you never know when these things will happen.  Only 100 of these will actually be created, floaties are just so hard to find these days.  You’ll have to contact the David Olschewski to get the actual price.

Barbie foosball table

by edwin on May 7, 2010

barbie-foosballWho says Barbie can’t play rough? A collection of Barbies all decked out in their beautous best now comes in the form of a $25,000 foosbal table to cater to guys who are rich and foolish enough to bring one home. How many guys do you know are Barbie collectors anyways? Nice to know that there are only 10 of these being made throughout the whole world, so that the sheer foolishness of owning one is limited to just 10 tycoons with bad taste.

Tokyoflash Kisai Watch

by ally on April 27, 2010

kisai-broke-watch-tokyoflas

According to the sellers, with this watch around reading time couldn’t possibly be any easier.  Somehow I think a bunch of numbers with a hand that points directly at them could be considered easier, but that’s just crazy talk.  This USB rechargeable watch just requires you to press a simple button that will illuminate the face of the stained glass watch.  The center area represents 4 individual minutes, the circle surrounding that are blocks that represent 5 minute intervals.  Then the outside ring has a block for every hour.  When you press the button parts of this will stay black to indicate the time.  To purchase the watch it’ll only cost you $168.

Color Changing Coffee Table

by edwin on March 27, 2010

color-tableWant to incur the wrath of the missus? The answer can be pretty simple – instead of going through the trouble of having an affair, just splash £999.99 without her permission on the Color Changing Coffee Table, letting her know it is a great way to wow guests who drop by. After all, who would not be enthralled and enamoured by such a unique coffee table which is capable of setting the mood of a particular room simply by illuminating it with changing lights? Works best at night and in low lighting conditions, of course, where a full charge offers up to 20 hours of non-stop illumination. Thanks to an opal inter-layer in the laminating process, it will still look great during the daytime. All the LEDs come with up to 100,000 hours of life.

Sasquatch Soccer Ball

by edwin on March 22, 2010

sasquatch-ballWe know that the long awaited World Cup that will be happening in South Africa later this summer is looming just across the horizon, so why not let your kids in on the fun by kicking a soccer ball around the garden? After all, they should be all doe-eyed over David Beckham when he lit up the MLS with his presence, although he is now out of commission no thanks to a torn Achilles tendon. Enter the Sasquatch Soccer Ball that ensures your little one won’t miss a single kick – it can also double up as a piece of decoration, being an enormous inflatable soccer ball. Made from PVC construction with a removable, washable 100% polyester skin, you can inflate it by mouth with 10 to 15 minutes’ worth of huffing and puffing, or take the easy way out with a pump. No idea who would fork out $99.95 for this.
