Love teasing your fellow cubicle mates at the office? How about scaring the pants of those who are weak-hearted and yet work late into the night all alone? The Eviltron from ThinkGeek fits the bill berfectly.

This fiendishly small device features six creepy sound choices perfect for frightening your “friends” and co-workers. Simply choose your favorite sound (or use the random mode), place it in a dark hiding spot and watch the madness begin. Perfectly suitable for dorm, office and home use. Or try putting it in someone’s car – that gets them every time.

Among the sounds available include some unsettling creaking, unidentifiable scratching sounds, gasping last breaths, a sinister child laughing and an eerie whisper of “Hey, can you hear me?” – turn on the Random Mode if you’re going to have some real fun. Retailing for $9.99 each, it will be able to last for slightly more than a month of continuous use.

Turn your burger into a hot dog, or even stuff it with the Dam Dogger

If you’ve ever stopped off at a 7-11 and had a hankerin’ for a hot dog, you’ve probably seen not only those extremely bad for you “Big Bites” rotating on the warmer, but also those hot dog shaped masses of “mystery meat” which sport all kinds of flavors from breakfast sausage to philly cheese steak – and all packaged in a hot dog like tube that you can slather all kinds of chili and cheese like sauce on top of. Man, if that doesn’t spell triple coronary bypass, I don’t know what does. Well, aren’t we lucky that we can create our own mystery meat dogs right in the comfort of our own kitchen with the Ham Dogger!

My source called these EPORO robot cars, but I don’t know if I feel comfortable calling these things cars. Unless these are cars from some alternate universe where penguins rule the world.

Yes, they may not look like what Nissan usually rolls off the assembly line, but the EPORO robot cars are an advancement for the day when cars drive themselves like Knight Rider.

You see, these EPORO robot cars are able to move in groups, and have software built in that keeps them from crashing into each other. Just think of them as bumper cars without the humans and without the bumps.

I suppose a better comparison would be to schools of fish, who are able to travel without bumping into each other and fluidly avoid other obstacles.

If you are into arts and crafts, then you probably have at least one hot glue gun around the house. I never really thought about using a hot glue gun to make fake spiderwebs before, but it would appear that some company has re-packaged their hot glue guns for just such a purpose.

Obviously, this type of marketing is designed for Halloween, and if you need realistic webbing for your spooky party on October 31st, the Electronic Webcaster Gun is for you.

The package of twenty gluesticks can cover about 350 square feet, or one 12 x 15 foot room. The webs come in three types. You can choose Clear, which glows blue under black light. Neon Yellow, which glows yellow under black light, or simply choose Glow in the Dark.

This has to be the ultimate travel blanket.  I’m always freezing on public transportation and sometimes it’s nice to take a nap when you’re stuck on a plane or train for hours.  This kit includes a blanket to keep you warm and a pillow.  Which anyone that’s used a pillow on any public transportation knows how pathetic they tend to be.  Hopefully this pillow included in the set is far more comfortable.  Not only does it have the blanket and pillow, but a pocket on the blanket specifically meant for your smaller gadgets.

A working Tricorder? Only if you want to analyze movies and music!

Okay, show of hands. If you’re a Star Trek fan, how many of you have a phaser toy sitting on your desk right now? Yeah thought so. Some of you may have gotten the Trek Communicator VOIP phone. But how many have gotten this cool Trek gadget … a Trek Tricorder Media player?! You heard me. Someone has built a Tricorder that not only looks like one, but works like one as well. Sort of.

If you’re worried that someone might make off with some of your smaller valuables, you might need something to keep them safe.  Sure, one of those big expensive combination safes would be nice, but they’re big and they’re expensive.  Which makes them unrealistic for while you’re traveling and completely out of the question if you’re on any kind of a budget.  Well this will look just like an average run of the mill surge protector to most people, but you’ll know the truth.
