Not as clumsy or random as a regular salt and pepper shaker, these elegant grinders have a ceramic mechanism you can adjust from fine to coarse. These mills are made from high-quality stainless steel, and their exteriors are durable ABS plastic molded to look like your favorite Jedi weapon. Each runs on four AA batteries (not included). Set of two grinders — one red and one blue.

Electric Eel Brightens Christmas

Every time an eel farts, a Christmas tree grows brighter. Well, not exactly. The sound is generated from the setup at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. Any time the aquarium’s Tweeting electric eel Miguel Wattson produces an electric current, the nearby Christmas tree gets a boost that brightens the Christmas lights. The aquarium named the project “Shocking Around the Christmas Tree.”

“Whenever Miguel discharges electricity, sensors in the water deliver the charge to a set of speakers,” explains Joey Turnipseed, the Aquarium’s audio visual production specialist. Turnipseed is responsible for tackling the unique engineering challenge of translating Miguel’s electric pulses into a glimmering yuletide display. “The speakers convert the discharge into the sound you hear and the festively flashing lights.”

You can almost imagine the discussion on this. Can’t we convert the sound into bells instead of fart sounds? Sure, but the kids will like the fart sounds better. Okay, then.
