Black Toilet Rolls

October 7th, 2005 by Al in Wacky Gadgets

Black Toilet Roll
If this isn’t wacky I don’t know what is, black toilet rolls. I suppose it could be a hit for goths, or people that are blinded by illuminated sinks. Next we’ll be seeing striped paper (guess the color).

Available for $2.50 a roll from Renova of $6 for a six pack a whopping $9 saving.

Stress relief…

October 5th, 2005 by Marc in Miscellaneous Gadgets, Toys, Wacky Gadgets

Foam Brick
I’m sure we’ve all had days where we just wanted to throw something. Hard. Usually at someone, or at the very least at something breakable. And most of the time you just don’t follow through - the lawsuits, paperwork and general hassle involved in replacing the windows are all enough to put you off the idea.

But I say go for it - just make sure you’re doing it with one of these foam bricks from drinkstuff.com and not the real thing!

ASCII Art From Photos

October 5th, 2005 by Al in Wacky Gadgets

I remember the days when newsgroups where one of the best sources for info and nobody had heard of a forum (how things have changed). As newsgroups were text only (forget the attachements in warez and shall will say adult ones) the geeky way to sign off a message was with an image made up of asking characters, like:

What’s this?

That’s a big breasted girl running without a bra. (thanks Hodgedup)

Anyway onto the post about generating ASCII art (if you can call it that) from photos.

Bling Bling Gold Leaf Chocolate

October 4th, 2005 by Al in Miscellaneous Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

Gold Leaf Chocolate
If you are ever in the relationship dog house this present is the proverbial get out of jail free card. It’s not cheap coming in at 25 quid and is a total waste of money but it will earn you infinite times more brownie points than forecourt flowers.

Gold Leaf Chocolate combines 2 things that women love, and it doesn’t take a genius to guess what.

Grenade Alarm

October 3rd, 2005 by Al in Audio/Video Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

Grenade Alarm Clock
If you find it difficult to awaken kids on school days you can take revenge with this nasty little alarm. Simply pull the pin out, throw it through the bedroom door and cover your ears. In 20 seconds the sonic alarm will let out an ear blistering racket which will be sure to wake the heaviest of sleepers.

NukAlert Radiation Alarm (keyring)

September 30th, 2005 by Al in Electronic Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

Nuke Keyring
There must be a geiger counter craze going on at the moment. Following on from the geiger counter watch we reported on a few days a go you can now buy a Radiation detection device that can be attached to a set of keys, otherwise known as a keyring. The keyring chirps like a proper geiger counter (remember them from school) when radiation levels above the norm, with the frequency of chirps getting faster as radiation levels increase (though I’m not sure how you’re going to test this).

Geeky Wrapping Paper for Forum Junkies

September 28th, 2005 by Al in Toys, Wacky Gadgets

Geeky Paper
It’s all well and good buying the perfect gadget gift for that special geek in your life but wrapping the present in paper covered in clowns or balloons isn’t really appropriate is it now. You can now get much more suitable (and expensive) wrapping paper to prove how much thought you’ve put in to that special present.

Illuminated Sinks *Confused*

September 26th, 2005 by Al in Home Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets

Illuminated Sink

As gadgets go many are pretty pointless but still fun and useful in some kind of quirky way. I’m struggling to find a use (beside the obvious) of these sinks that light up, some may say they look cool whilst I’m not so sure I’d class an LED illuminated sink as cool.
