Actually, it doesn’t really rock, which is a good thing… I imagine that the added motion would be even more distracting.

Even better, the presence of footstands “provides real health benefits by raising the knees above the waist, which facilitates a thorough expulsion of waste“… And, as my close friends know, I’m all for more thorough ways of expelling waste!

Although I would not use this without a cowboy hat to wave around while I do my thing.

You know, I’ve just about had it up to here with these puny scissors that the Man expects us to use!

This is what I’m talkin’ about… nine beautiful blades to make quick work of any paper that needs to be confetti-ized. It’s the perfect gift for those who can’t take the unholy noise most paper-shredders make. Only $19.80!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna take a pair of these and go running…

How’s this for lawn furniture? You simply place this chair made of cardboard on your lawn, sprinkle some grass seeds (or whatever) around it, and in a few weeks, you have some grassy comfort.

I think this is great, and I would go one step further: How about Grass sofas, grass coffee tables, and grass beds? They could all be indoors, negating the need for a carpet. You wouldn’t even need a proper floor, just dirt. Oh yeah!

If you are so inclined, you can purchase this for 65 Sterling right here.

As someone who has travelled cross-Atlantic many many times since I was very little, let me tell you… sleeping in the ghetto that is the economy section (a.k.a. steerage) is not easy.

Well, from the wonderful people at Sky Mall comes the SkyRest Pillow. For $30, it folds up nice and small to fit in your carry-on, and inflates to fill the space between your tray-table and the back of the seat in front of you, so you can rest.

In past frustrations of trying to sleep on a plane, I’ve actually tried sleeping on the tray-table, and all I got was a sore neck. I’m not sure how well this works, but it does look like a good idea.

Yes, you heard it right… The world can rest easy now, knowing that they are safe from the vile evil that is dog farts.

Now, I’ve had dogs since I was very little, and at no time have I ever heard or smelled any of my dogs break wind. If any of you have had a different experience, please let me know in the comments.

Still, if your dog has digestive problems, maybe this will work? Frankly, I just thought the picture was too good to pass up!

You can buy it for $20 right here.

The color of the water coming out of the shower head changes color based on the temperature and pressure of the water. LEDs are used to light up the water in different colors.
This’ll be really handy for knowing the water temp, especially for those times when I lose all feeling in all parts of my body. The thing is, the red water looks a little too much like Human blood for my tastes. I keep hearing REDRUM in my head…

This is the result of a student project. Pretty nifty, though a bit disturbing. Maybe a good way to vent aggression? Maybe they can do the head of my boss… I would like that…

I simply love this thing!
I’m playing Call of Duty 2, Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing 3, and Kameo. Kameo was the big surprise… It’s really good!
Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled program…

Cutely Gross? After getting a few plush microbes from my beloved last Chrismas, this may be next on my list. You guessed it… it’s our favorite human waste characters, all cute and stuff. Bonus: They’re colored appropriately.
