Now you can have Uranium and you’re ketchup all in the same place!

A fun way to learn your elements or subject your children to your quirky interests.  The Periodic Table Magnets from Simple Memory Art comes in one sheet and can be separated into individual elements (well, not actual elements, but you get the idea). 
Mix and match the elements to arrange your own table, perhaps outsmarting Dmitri Mendeleev in the process, but you’ll probably just make a mess.

Size: 7.4" x 10.5" (Sheet)

I have an idea, let’s combine the best taste ever with the best feeling ever then sell it for under 10 bucks!

The Chocolate Pen Set from Gasworks Inc. is a pair of 1.4 ounce chocolate and strawberry body pens. Use the tasty paste to draw designs or write love notes on your lovers body.  The pens are easy to write with and can even be used for decorating cakes and other baked goods.

By heating the pens in warm water, you can determine how viscous you want the chocolate to be.  Never mind the application, the taste alone makes this a great product, I give the chocolate pen set two thumbs up.  These make a great wedding or anniversary gift, as do the other risqué products from Gasworks Inc. 

*Size: Each pen is appx 6" tall x 1" wide

Make use of that Ph. D with the Cocktail Chemistry Set.  Your friends don’t care about solvents and buffers, the only concoction they want to see you make is the one they can drink.  With a cocktail shaker, Erlenmeyer flask, glass stirring rod, and 4 test tubes you’re guaranteed a good reaction.  So next time you have a problem, just remember that you’ve already got the solution and it’s at the bottom of a test tube full of booze.

  Yong Jieyu and Ama Xue Hong Bin are two designers that have put their own spin on the CD Player.  Obviously, this design isn’t terribly practical beyond the scope of a novelty, yet it’s so darn cleaver that I can’t help but want one; too bad it’s only a concept and not an actual consumer product.

The design entails rearranging the CD player components to accommodate the antique style.  The wooden base holds the electrical PCB board while the needle arm carries the electric eye.  The electric speaker is situated just below the trumpet style speaker.

It doesn’t seem long ago that CD’s were the new marvel of music technology, yet there isn’t a kid today that would walk outside with a disc-man; it’s Mp3 or nothing.  Maybe Yong & Ama should work on an Mp3 player that looks like an 8-track.

That’s right, it’s Friday, the 13th day of March 2009, which means absolutely nothing except that the week is finely over.  Maybe you’ve wondered or maybe you think you know why Friday the 13th is shrouded with superstition. The authors of Holy Blood Holy Grail certainly think they know.  
Holy Blood Holy Grail was originally published in the early 1980′s when it immediately caused a religious fire storm.  The book again gained momentum after author Dan Brown used it as the backbone of his immensely popular book The Da Vinci Code. 
The authors present a tremendously thorough account of the Knights Templar, the Prieuré de Sion, and the history of the Holy Grail.  Though it’s an arduous book to complete, this conspiracy theory will have your head spinning!

The picture really sums this one up.  The Dual Wave™ Blender from Hamilton Beach® is the perfect party mixer with a dual blade, 80-ounce pitcher.  It also features a removable pouring spout that works quite well, even with thick liquids.  When party time is over, you can switch from the double blade monster to two single 16-ounce travel cups.
With the Dual Wave~Action® system, ice and other solid eatables like fruit, won’t get trapped under the blades, so you’re guaranteed smooth results every time.  The only problem is that you’ll need to mix a party sized portion every time because the 16 ouncers are really meant for quick single serve blends.

Even kids that dislike scary sharks will like this one.  The RC Cyborg Shark from Swim Ways is a remote controlled animatronic shark that swims with life-like movements via a fully controllable rear propeller, articulating tail, and vacillating pectoral fins.  With the caudal fin propeller the shark can swim forwards or backwards while the swaying movement of the tail and the angle of the pectoral fins dictate direction and depth respectively.   The remote control unit is fully waterproof, so no worries about brining it in the water with you.  I’m a certified adult and I had fun with this thing; we went out drinking and the shark didn’t pay for a single round which got costly because he can drink like a fish. Although, I am down 2 G’s to him in billiards so I guess it’s more than even.

The Cooper Cooler Rapid Beverage Chiller from Revolutionary Cooling Systems, Inc. was the result of an engineering student running out of cold beer at a party; it’s true.
At the Cooper Union School of Engineering in NYC, Greg Loibl designed and built a device that could chill a 12 oz aluminum can from 77°F to 40°F in under 45 seconds.  Wow, it’s too bad Greg didn’t run out of hot chicks at that party, I wouldn’t mind a machine to deliver them in under a minute.

The Cooper Cooler chills cans and bottles 40 times faster than a freezer.  The unique devise rotates the liquid while bombarding the container with ice water, and thus, the warmth within the can or bottle is able to transfer out more quickly.  Don’t worry, the carbonation won’t be exploding all over the place, and if sediment is an issue, there’s a NO SPIN option for chilling that 1945 Mouton Rothschild; if you’re stupid enough to chill it!
