WANT: Katana Sword Bookends

ends

From Mustard:

Designing products for people as elusive as Ninjas is tricky – we had to draw on what we’ve learned of them from popular culture, which is that they can sneak, leap, slice, throw things and hover. We can only assume they achieve this broad skillset from reading LOTS of self-help books. So any self-respecting ninjitsu master could surely use a set of book ends. Shaped like a Katana sword – they frame your favorite reads and brilliantly look like you’ve impaled all of literature with your mighty (metaphorical) sword of knowledge.

MAGIC TRICK: Turn Boiling Water Into Instant Snow [Video]

I just came back from a walk, and since it’s brutally cold outside right now, it reminded me of this little experiment I did last year by throwing some boiling water outside at sub zero (F) temperatures. Readers that have been with us for a while might remember this one, but if you don’t, this is a fun trick to try. Just be sure to be really careful with that hot water though!

Oh, and sorry about that cheesy smile I do right before I throw the pot of water ;)

From Thinkgeek:

The Rebel Pilot Costume Hoodie makes you the pilot that you know yourself to be… and it keeps you warm, too!

Monty Python Killer Rabbit Slippers [Pic]

Well, that’s no ordinary rabbit. That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

Known throughout Camelot as the fearsome Rabbit of Caerbannog, it may look like a relatively innocuous fluffy critter with a flappy little gaping mouth but we warn you it’s got a vicious streak a mile wide. It’s a killer! He’ll do you up a treat, mate.

Plant your feet in his warm, plush belly and you become the master of this wicked creature. Now you can keep your toes toasty and strike fear into all those who cross your path.
