Join 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.
What you are seeing here is the Triton, and like most of those other personal submarines that we have reported, it is that same bright color of yellow like the Hydrodome BOB.
Unlike other personal submarines, this one is designed to go deep into the ocean. How deep? Try the Mariana Trench, the deepest point of all. It is about 35,994 feet below sea level, located in the Western Pacific Ocean.

This is an absolute classic, if you own one please send us a photo and we’ll publish it here (check reviews on Amazon for some darn funny comments)
The well reknown ceremonial jacket that Luke Skywalker wears in episode IV after destroying the Death Star and saving the rebel base from a horrific fate. Constructed of nylon with a polyester lining, this coat is an athletic cut, and features no zipper. The ceremonial medal that Luke was rewarded is included with this jacket. All detail to this jacket and medal is true to Episode IV and is an identical replica of that found in Lucasfilm Archives. This fully licensed jacket comes with a nice clothing bag for protection, and a full color certificate of authenticity.

Garden Jawa Lawn Ornament
Having garden gnomes is pretty sad, having garden Jawas however is the height of nerdy cool.
Sculpted to look like a classic garden gnome, the Garden Jawa Lawn Ornament comes in just under a foot in height. Made of solid resin and fully painted, he’s ready for any weather, rain or shine. And the ultimate bonus – he’ll totally sell your junk at your next yard sale and get top price.

Chewbacca Costume
This has got to be one of the coolest fancy dress costumes out there, Chewbacca (from Episode III not to be confused from Episode IV and onwards). You’ll have to be a wealthy wookie to afford this as it will set you back £400 (about $640 (ouch))

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.
They start by collecting readily available poo from various wildlife parks, and then they convert it to paper, which they sell as stationary, greeting cards, notepads, photo albums and holiday cards, because nothing says Happy Holidays like a card made out of poop. I’d like to point out that a portion of the proceeds go to elephant conservation and welfare programs, which help foster healthy and happy animals who keep, giving us, um, more raw paper materials, and the cycle continues… with a single elephant turd being made into about 25 sheets of stationary.

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.
The sauna pants are said to aid in the loss of excess water in the abdominal areas, or if having a hot sweaty crotch floats your boat these could be the pants for you.
You can (actually) buy the sauna pants from Taylor Gifts or Amazon. We need to thank RGS and Unique Daily for sharing this crazy stuff with us.
Pee & Poo – I Feel Flushed
Every now and then you come across 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.
Let me now introduce you now to Pee & Poo, not that you haven’t met before, but probably not in this way. Created by Swedish designer Emma Megitt as a college project, Pee & Poo became so amazingly popular that they have t-shirts and stuffed… no, not animals, (let’s just call them number one and number two, shall we?) better yet, t-shirts and plush pals were created to… um, cuddle with? They are meant to address body functions in an open and playful manner and have been an instant hit with kids and adults alike. Seriously? Continue reading » Pee & Poo – I Feel Flushed
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.
Enter Dr. Freud’s Therapy ball, gone are the days when one must make it to scheduled appointments and pay ridiculous fees at the therapists office, and let’s face it, those appointments are never when you REALLY need to talk to someone, like in the middle of the night when you’re hearing the voices again, and this time there telling you your pet turtle is evil. This Magic 8 type ball responds to your concerns and confessions with impartial,yet engaged objectivity. You need to simply shake this black plastic ball and then read over twenty different responses such as ”How did that make you feel?” or ‘Talk about your mother.” Continue reading » Dr. Freuds Therapy Ball – “Go to Your Happy Place”
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?
Well, finally I can get some sleep because Edmunds Scientific has developed the UFO Detector. Now you can rest easy because you will know instantly when an unidentified flying object is hovering above your bedroom, giving you ample time to hide under your bed, thereby avoiding any unpleasant probing.

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…
Enter the world of Glux. Glux is a unique super putty that can bounce, it can stretch, it can tear like a piece of paper and it can even shatter like a piece of glass or ceramic. You can use your Thermochromic Glux to work out your stress, exercise your hands or unlock your creative genius. This particular Thermochromic Glux arrives a solid orange color; that is, until you touch or rub it, thats right, you really need to fondle your Glux. The Glux reacts to your body’s heat and will turn from orange to yellow, kind of like a mood Glux. You can create two color designs, draw pictures on your Glux, or just turn the whole ran thing yellow, all with one of your magical hands!
