Rubberband Gatling Gun - do you believe this?

gatgun_lg.jpg

Oh so very very cool, a rubberband gun that has been hand crafted from poplar pine to fire 540 rounds a minute, that is if it was able to actually hold that many bands of course. In actual fact it will only fire 144 rounds which if you pushed it could be released in around 12 seconds...

The turret spins effortlessly through 360 degrees, and will tilt from 45 degrees up to 22 degrees down, so tracking a fast moving target is a breeze.

Winding the handle spins the barrels and fires off the bands yours for £399.00

Pool Wizard

laserguidedpoolcue_small.jpgit was only a matter of time until someone came out with the new improved pool cue.

This cue features a laser pointer that guides you to produce a perfect shot every time (well that is if you know where you should be hitting the white ball and can master the power ratio, balance etc..).

I can just see it revolutionising the way we rock up to the local pub, first unpack your cue, check the batteries and start racking up the balls looking for new competition some one old school, not of the digital revolution.

God what has happened to the old days when the only way to improve your game was to use beer goggles?

Vibiemme Domobar Super

vibiemmeidentifier.jpg


With so many new coffee machines hitting the market this is one sweet prosumer machine. Firstly it hits a point that may or may not suit your personal taste, and surely has a lot to do with how much work the machine is going to be put to.

With programable buttons for each shot you could easily put this to work in the office or a small restaurant.

This is a very very cool machine for about $1100. usd

There is an excellent review with lots of detail on coffeegeek.com

vroom vroom vroom the sounds of a big end

ok so actually this is not a car, in fact not even close, this is just a box that makes the broom, broom sounds a car makes. Weird well actually no, the idea that you can make your Daewoo or Hyundi sound like a Mustang is awesome - but you will need some good speakers (under your car) and you had better make sure there is plenty of bass!

What you probably would not believe is the Vroom box hooks up with the RPM's on your vehicle and measures the power load to make the sounds even more realistic. There are 15 car sounds (including Lamborghini, Pontiac GTO, Stingray and the all poplular Vespa Scooter) and still more you can download.

yours for $159 plus speakers

Hot Shorts - 31 Colours

I love American Apparel, they make very fine cotton clothing under or overwear, they have cool stores and are in tune with environment and globalisation issues - how can you feel more comfortable in your tight pants - buy them from a vendor with conscience!
