Radioactive Uranium Ore for Sale at Amazon

Posted on Monday 12 May 2008

uranium ore
Yes you can actually buy Radioactive Uranium Ore at Amazon. This has to be the funniest item ever listed on Amazon. For starters take a look at “What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item“… the number one item at 18%: Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands-On Guide to Penis Pleasing. And that’s not all.

You would legitimately want to buy radioactive uranium ore to test our your home Geiger Counter. Apparently the reviewers on Amazon have not quite been using it for that purpose:

” Despite the fact it comes in a can it is not cat food.
Does anyone know if there’s a cure for sudden tentacles? The cat’s huge and well, doesn’t really look much like a cat anymore.”

“I purchased this product because I wanted to make a 5 megaton bomb to impress my neighbors at our fourth of July barbecue. Unfortunately, when all was said and done, I was embarrassed when the yield was less than 500 kt. No birds on fire, no boiling rivers, nothing.”

“My wife and I purchased this product for the expressed purpose of breeding an atomic superman. After a daily regimen of ingesting a tablespoon of this powder mixed with green tea along with her prenatal vitamins, my wife developed serious morning sickness and perished during childbirth.

After clawing his way out of my wife’s dead body, young Yog-Sothoth was promptly hacked to death by a scalpel-happy OB/GYN. That’s HMO care for you!

Please avoid this product if you, like us, are seeking to defy God’s natural order by creating a demonic superhuman demigod.”

Every time I try to use this product, the Libyans show up and steal my Delorian.


That’s just a few highlights; there are well over 100 hilarious reviews of this radioactive Uranium Ore

12 Foot Long Working Guitar

Posted on Monday 12 May 2008

big guitar
This huge 12 foot long by 4 foot high guitar was built by landscape artist Mike Shubic and is actually functional. You can strum it and achieve “some musically appeasing sounds” whatever that means. Maybe someone can wire it up to make the world’s largest Guitar Hero controller. That would be crazy. Anyway, you can buy this giant guitar for $6500 as well as other custom giant sculptures from the artist.

Nail Clipper with Build In Lighter

Posted on Monday 12 May 2008

nail clipper lighter
This crazy gadget is either a lighter with a built in nail clipper or a nail clipper with a built in lighter, depending on what your priorities are. Sometimes in this world there is an obvious need to combine two things into one- like chocolate and peanut butter for instance. And in other instances there is no obvious need to combine: there is no conceivable way you would ever be using the dual functions of the clipper lighter around the same time. In fact you wouldn’t even store these two gizmos if they were separate in the same place. Presumably you would keep your name clipper in the bathroom and your lighter anyplace else. For whatever reason these two items are no available as a 2 in 1 and it’s all a deal at under $3 so go for it.

Treadmill Bicycle

Posted on Monday 12 May 2008

treadmill bike
This has to be one of the greatest spoof products of all time. Sure it’s fake, but if they really built it then it’s real. So it’s a real fake. Or a real product with a fake website and infomercial. Except that you can actually order one from the builder. Which makes it real.

But then again, the maker of the treadmill bike says “The Treadmill Bike’s hard wearing belt offers a sure grip while protecting your feet from dirt and other contaminants commonly found on the earth’s surface.” Which sounds fake. Really fake. After the jump is the hysterical infomercial video showing the treadmill bike in action- decide for yourself: (Continue reading…)

The USB Smart Dog Hub is one crazy dog. This cute little 4 port USB hub is also a radio. Well his head is a radio anyway. It’s also a speaker. And his head detaches so you can take the head radio with you.

Although you might get some weird looks walking around with a dog head radio or having a headless dog body USB hub on your desk.

Window with Built in Cleaning Squeegee

Posted on Wednesday 7 May 2008

window squeegee
Here’s a simple concept to embed a squeegee into the edge of the window so that when you open it, the other window gets cleaned. But what happens to all the dirt- does it just get piled onto one side? And what about the other window? Obviously it still needs some work but in theory it’s a good start to something.

Live Lobster Claw Game

Posted on Wednesday 7 May 2008


Everyone’s seen those claw games where you drop a quarter in and try to manipulate the claw to pick up a stuffed animal that ends up costing you $20 in quarters when you could have just bought the stuffed animal for $5. Well now they’ve added another degree of difficulty to the game while upping the prize ante to something a little more adult friendly- live lobsters. This Maine machine lets you maneuver the claw for 30 seconds for $2 while you try to pick up the squirming lobsters and get yourself a cheap dinner. Not so easy to do since the lobsters are moving around. Watch the video above for the details.
