News about Wacky Gadgets:
President Obama’s stuck limo is hopefully not an omen for the United States
I think we all know that the president, being very vulnerable while in transit, has a limousine designed especially for him. This vehicle is bulletproof, but it has one vulnerability: bumps.
Snack Packaging Goes High Tech – Can You Hear It?
Does anyone remember Pringles? That nifty little can of neatly stacked potato-like chips, they didn’t taste like regular chips, but if you were in the mood for Pringles, nothing else would do. I haven’t had a Pringle for at least 10 years. I don’t really know why, it was nice to not have that pile of crumbs at the bottom of a greasy bag. Pringles just needed a little more jazz… They’ve been around too long, a little stale so to speak, they needed to do something fun.
Triton Submarine planned to head to the bottom of the Mariana Trench
I love posting about these personal submarines. I guess it is the idea of freely roaming the ocean that appeals to my sense of adventure.

PooPoo Paper Company – Adds to the Crap on your Desk
Let me introduce you to the PooPoo Paper Company, manufacturing recycled and odorless paper products made from elephant poo, the company also makes a load of other paper products, all from poo derived from large fiber eating animals. Think horses, cows and the very exclusive, panda poo.
The Vibrating Sauna Pants
We’ve seen some pretty wacky gadgets in the past but this must be right up there with the craziest, vibrating sauna pants.
Pee & Poo – I Feel Flushed
Every now and then you come across something, something that begs to be shared, if only for the sheer novelty of it or, sometimes for what I like to call the “you gotta be kidding” factor, sometimes you want to share it because you can’t believe anything like it was actually made, marketed and is wildly successful, but rarely you come across something that is all those things, and I’m going to tell you about it, when I stop crying and scratching my head.
Dr. Freuds Therapy Ball – “Go to Your Happy Place”
It’s probably no surprise to anyone that I’m not quite right. Anyone that actually knows me, can certainly substantiate in a million ways just how, let’s call it “different” I am from say… oh, the rest of all mankind. That being said, they are my friends, and like me, because of, or maybe in spite of, whatever it is that my parents did to me as a child. Don’t get me wrong, they are the most wonderful loving parents, that being said, whatever the heck is wrong with me, is their fault.
UFO Detector – Because You Want to Know When They’re Coming
I know that like most of you, I often lie awake at night, pondering the heavens and the ends of the universe, sometimes these mental wanderings lead me to think about extraterrestrial life, I know, you too right? Often after that, I find it difficult to sleep for fear of being abducted and experimented upon by tall, thin gray men with large, vacant almond shaped eyes. You know they’re out there, right?
Glux – Because You Really Do Need It
I guess it all started with Play-Doh, then we had modeling clay, then came the ultimate moldable time killer, Silly Putty. I used to spend hours making it bounce, pressing it into the Sunday funnies and stretching out all the faces and then, well, that was about it. We have had a few interesting new compounds, but nothing that could kill a Sunday like Silly Putty. Until now…
This is the greatest robot costume, ever!
I realize that I am about a week late for any Halloween-related postings, but this robot costume should win any costume contest in any month.
On Angels’ Wings iPhone Holder
Some of us have phones that we’re not all that thrilled with. They’re alright, but they’re by no means put up on a pretty little pedestal. Then there are others who think they’re phone could do no wrong. Whether it’s the serious iPhone or Blackberry owners, sometimes your phone is the perfect angel. To really show that off you need some angel wings to place on the back.
Writhing Umbilical Cord iPhone Charger
Umbilical cord and iPhone are two things I couldn’t possibly see landing in the same sentence, much less a gadget article’s title. However, I should have known that the iPhone is capable of bridging all sorts of weird gaps. The media artist Mio I-zawa has managed to create the strangest iPhone accessory I’ve come across. Instead of plugging your iPhone into the usual cord, just imagine hooking it up to a squirming umbilical cord.
Sunpentown Giddyup Core Exerciser
Those core muscles are important to keep tight, but they can be tricky to keep in shape. Thankfully there are workout machines that only require you to sit there and enjoy the ride. No more do you actually have to work at your body, just sit on a machine and let it do the work for you. Now if only your diet could be decied by some electronic device and keep you from messing things up when you get a little bit of a sweet tooth.
Doctor Who Spinning Tardis
There is no shortage of sellers offering their own Doctor Who Tardis, but this one is even better. Instead of just sitting out a little blue box to collect dust, this one is capable of moving around a little. Plus, the way it work will give you something to fidget with while you’re trying to think over some very complex issue at work.
Mr. Hyde Robotic Top Hat
If you love Halloween and DIY projects, then this hat is the perfect combination. It’ll be enough to keep you busy for quite a while, plus you’ll have something fun to show off come Halloween. This hat features a head that pops out, can move around and even make a little noise. Of course I hope you have some artistic sculpting skills, because you’ll need them to make the head for this hat.
Wine Bottle USB Speaker and FM Radio
I can’t say that I ever really thought I’d be writing up a speaker shaped like a wine bottle, but despite the odd shape selection it’ll do the trick. This bottle may not be the classiest wine bottle you’ve ever seen, but it’d make a cute radio to put in your kitchen or wherever you store your bottles of wine. Plus, it’s highly unlikely that anyone else you know will have the exact same speaker.
Easout Bulb Remover
I have always heard that a half of a potato is an easy way to remove a broken bulb from your light socket. However, never having tried that method, I can’t exactly promote it with any amount of confidence. If you’re a little nervous about using that old trick, you can pick up one of these sets of bulb removers. They are one way to make sure that you won’t receive a shock from the broken bulb.
Remote Controlled Football Boots
Whether you call it soccer or football, this is one strange way to burn up some time. You can’t help but love the occasional remote control gadget, but this is probably the strangest I’ve seen. Instead of knocking in those balls with mini players, it uses oversized shoes. I guess either way it’ll do the trick and keep you occupied for a couple of hours.
Weed Whacking Golf Driver for the noncommittal golfer
Let’s face it, not all golfers are the serious types. Some of them are just out for a day of goofing around with good friends. Now this Weed Whacking Golf Driver might be appalling to slip into a serious game of golf (if you could even succeed at it), but for the relaxed game your buddies might even start requesting to borrow it. After all, a little beer and a round of golf calls for a couple of short cuts throughout the game.
Strange but interesting Self-Burying Screw-In Coffin
Oddly I’ve had a debate in my own mind as to what I’d want done with my remains when I die. I have the tendency to worry that cemeteries are going to end up taking up far too much space at some point and something will have to be done. After all, people take up about 6 feet of space, which is fine, but that adds up. In small towns it’s not a big deal, but in cities it makes you wonder if they’ll ever have to be dug up and moved elsewhere. That situation may take longer to come around if everyone started using these self screwing coffins.
Diamond Light Bulbs
Instead of hanging up decorative lights you could just hang up a plain light with a decorative bulb. I’m not talking about those colorful cheesy lights that start blinking once they’ve gotten hot enough. No, instead go for an overpriced but very chic Diamond Light. Don’t worry it’s not a light bulb made out of real diamonds or some expensive crystals. It just happens to take the shape of a diamond.
Jeans made to shock pickpockets
In my home area I’m not in the slightest bit concerned about someone picking through my pockets or purse. However, no one in a large and strange city doesn’t realize the risk you run when you let on that you’re a tourist. Even if you live in a city all of the time, as soon as you get into a crowded area you’re abundantly aware of how easy it’d be for someone to swipe your wallet and the thief to disappear into the crowd. Thankfully one person created a kit to attempt to keep pickpockets from being successful.
Evil Fortune Cookies
Not sure I’d class these as a gadget but they’re sold at Think Geek and surely good for a laugh, “Cookie Misfortune Evil Fortune Cookies”.
