Hamburger Bed

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5172.gif
alt= //ppLast week when I was bedridden, all I could think about was hamburgers. I had such a craving that I had to turn off the TV so I wouldn’t see any fast food commercials. This a href=http://www.hamburgerbed.com/Hamburger bed/a would have been my waking AND sleeping nightmare. It would have been the like when George from Seinfeld combined a href=http://www.google.com/url?sa=tamp;source=webamp;ct=resamp;cd=2amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DLHchl4AxsE0amp;ei=sfeUSYCaGZGksQPVkZifBwamp;usg=AFQjCNGkDrsKrab12b0I23KzURd-yAwX-gamp;sig2=lzuwOqWirXkpwWCQLotmhwsex with food/a. My cravings would have had me find myself waking in the middle of my fevers chewing through the bed. I’ve eaten three burgers since my recovery. In terms of style, I don’t know if this bed will get you much play on Valentines Day. Save it for St. emPatty/em’s instead. |via a href=http://www.w3sh.com/2009/01/19/hamburger-bed/w3sh/a|br //p

Verbarius Clock

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5164.gif
alt= //ppIn Russian, English, German, Spanish or French, the Verbarius tells you the time using phrases like quot;quarter to eightquot; rather than a numerical display. You can even upload additional languages using a USB. Confuse yourself by setting the display to a language you don’t understand. Combine that with defaulting your TV stations to a foreign language channel and then replacing all your books with non-English versions and you’ll soon be so confused you’ll start fraying at the edges. I’ve come to the realization that we sometimes have to get out of our heads to live in it. Why not take a non-drug induced trip by altering your reality? Start with the manipulation of time. |via a href=http://www.bookofjoe.com/2008/07/verbarius.htmlBook of Joe/a|br //p

LEGO Helmet Visor

alt= //ppI rather like this a href=http://www.monkey-bus.co.il/Product.aspx?CategoryID=2amp;SubCategoryID=29amp;ProductID=130tin/a that combines three storage compartments with an adjustable calendar. Anything to fight the inevitability of desk clutter./p

USB Neon Space Invaders

alt= //ppThere are the cool nerds who grow up to become the intimidating dark-rimmed lords of the design world and there are the geeky nerds who you still sneer at whenever they start on another of their esoteric rants about the new world record for completing a crossword puzzle. I’m not sure which camp you’d fall into if you decorated your desk with these. Depends on the level of irony tolerated at your workplace, I suppose. A long buried part of me lusts for these. I must squelch my unbearable urges. |via a href=http://monkeyzen.com/2009/02/neones-de-space-invaders/Monkeyzen/a|br //p

Samurai Sword Umbrella

alt= //ppSuffer not the insolence of fools. Especially if you’re standing in pouring rain. You won’t be cleaving any peasants in half with this umbrella since the likeness to a katana is only in the handle. But at least your enemies will know your preparedness in inclement weather. Foresight is the way of the wise warrior. |via a href=http://szymon.tumblr.com/post/76658341/rain-prepare-to-be-defeated-samurai-umbrellaInspire/a|br //p

Danger Bomb Clock

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5147.jpg
alt= //ppAs if waking up to your alarm clock every morning wasn\’t upsetting enough, the Danger Bomb Clock raises the stakes by turning every morning into your own personal MacGuyver adventure. In order to quot;disablequot; the alarm (which does indeed feature the sound of an explosion) you must figure out one of three randomly set safety codes every morning. If that doesn\’t ruin your morning, I don\’t know what will. nbsp;/p

SpeedVest

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5115.gif
alt= //ppi live in LA and the number one excuse I hear (and claim myself) for not riding bikes more often is that it’s darn dangerous with our traffic. This vest not only increases visibility it also displays the speed of the rider so that cars can have a better sense of how to drive in cooperation with the cyclist. Other uses have been suggested, such as using it in sporting events to provide spectators with accurate speed measurements of athletes. Perfect for futbol, Football, and track and field.
