Circuit Board Clipboard
Ok. There is this thing that some people do when they are working in groups called a 'meeting'. It's a strange ritual in which people's faces become shorter and concepts like 'action items' and 'revenue streams' pretend to be more important than code and caffeine. Necessary evils perhaps, but we want to make sure you 'meet' in style. These old motherboards have been converted into convenient and very sturdy clipboards in which you can rest assured all of your 'action items' will be safely recorded. We leave it up to you to decide whether or not the notes you take end up in a shredder or a trash can :p Clipboard made from actual circuitboards. Holds 8 1/2" x 11" paper/pad. Each clipboard showcases a unique circuitboard design and may vary from the photo on this page.

Polluted Toxic Waste Glasses
Unless you're ingesting only pure rainwater and distilled pure grain alcohol, you're ingesting poison. That's right, Mandrake. Just like the global communist conspiracy, anything you drink will infiltrate and corrupt from within. That's why we're strong believers in total commitment. As long as you're going to drink poison, you may as well make sure your drinking vessel of choice makes it look the part. Sure, we all have hard jobs - Ice-cream Fluoridation Administrator, Director of Survival Mineshafts, Nuclear Rodeo Cowboy - but at the end of the day, we could all use a drink, amirite? So grab your highball, and pour yourself a nice tall glass of something tasty. Oh, and if you can make it green and slightly radioactive, even better. These glasses look the part, alright. Each set of two glasses look like little 55 gallon drums except they're just twelve ounces, and they're made of borosilicate glass. Still, with the nuclear hazard logo etched in the side, and filled with some sort of green luminescent liquid on-the-rocks, they're guaranteed to be the hit of the party.
Beerdeaux Longneck Wine Glass
Dogs and cats. Star Trek and Star Wars. Beer and wine. Who says you have to prefer one? We're going to make a bold statement here. We're going to say that you don't have to choose between being a beer person and a wine person. You can be both. Just because you can list your favorite beers in order of hoppiness doesn't mean you can't also wax on about your favorite varietals. Beerdeaux has all the familiar delight of a longneck beer bottle sitting atop a sleek, chic wine stem. It's hand-blown from crystal clear borosilicate glass and arrives in a handsome box, perfect for gifting. From pilsner to pinot, you can proclaim that you are both a wine person and a beer person when you drink from a Beerdeaux glass. Product Specifications A glass for all occasions, longneck bottle atop a wine glass stem Hand-blown from crystal clear borosilicate glass Arrives handsomely boxed for gifting or storage Love your Beerdeaux, hand wash between uses Measures approximately 8" x 2.75", 10 ounce capacity
Water Powered Clock
OK, so generating electrical power from water might not require quantum math, but it is pretty darn interesting. And it's nice to see science and engineering play nice together to bring folks like you an attractive desktop clock that is powered solely on water (or really any electrolytic fluid like soda, coffee, BAWLS or even Beer). We would be civilized to only call you moronic if you bought this clock and used BAWLS to power it, but in the end you are the music maker, you are the dreamer of dreams and I suppose we would just have to respect that decision. The water clock will display the time and date in clear easy to read numbers just moments after you fill the liquid reservoirs in the back with the liquid of your choice. We've had ours running for weeks so far and the water levels have barely descended and we haven't had to refill it at all. How does it work? Magic mostly. And a little bit of science too. The internal converter simply extracts electrons from water (or other liquid) molecules and provides a steady stream of electrical current acting as a fuel cell to generate power to the clock. Attractively packaged with translucent blue siding and a mirrored front. You can even use the water reservoirs on the back to hold flowers! But guess what? Flowers aren't included! Neither are batteries! Neither is the water! Sad? Here, giving you the dimensions should make you happier: 6" x 4" x 2 1/2". Now buy one.
Marvel Comics Pint Glass
We know exactly what we're going to be using these pint glasses for. We're going to fill them with beer or Mountain Dew and use them when we play the new Marvel RPG. (You did hear there's a new Marvel RPG coming out in 2012, right?) Yep, yep, we're going to gather at the table with our dice and our character sheets and our heads full of super stories to tell. These glasses seem like your typical 16 ounce glass, except they are emblazoned with amazing artwork featuring some of your favorite Marvel superheroes. Somehow, when the Avengers are on the side of your glass, everything in it just tastes better. Product Specifications Pint glasses featuring artwork from the Marvel universe Choose: Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America Everything in these glasses tastes 100% more super Capacity: 16 fluid ounces (1 pint) Dimensions: 6" (15 cm) tall
The Ex - Unique Knife Holder
We'll get right to the point with this product - it's a wicked cool design for a knife holder and certainly a lot more edgy than the standard old block of wood. We're not sure who the designer might have been thinking of when he created this but we definitely like the results. And it includes five knives!. This unique artistic knife holder is made of heavy duty ABS plastic and will be the talk of the party! It's an innovative knife suspension system with individual protective knife sleeves for each blade. The five knives are made from heavy gauge durable stainless steel. The slots are magnetized to secure knives in the holder. Overall, we'd say The Ex Knife Set is very cutting edge!
Unikeys Unicorn Key Caps
Unicorns have power - magic sparkly power! Their horns can be used to allow eternal darkness to reign in the form of Tim Curry. The tail hair is oft used in wand cores, and the dust filed from the horn can cure any disease when mixed into a potion. Handy! What is not as well known is, the Unicorn horn can also unlock any lock! It's true! Simply place one of your keys into the special silicon Unikey Unicorn Key Caps and watch the magic happen! Insert your Unicorn horn into your house door, and watch the bolt slide away! Warning! The use of Unicorn Horn is strictly regulated by the United States Department of Magic. The USDoM and the foreign signatories of the International Regulation of Magical Creatures Treaty of 1431 strictly regulate the usage of Unicorn and Unicorn related products. Any misuse of Unicorn Horn can result in stiff penalties including, but not limited to, shunning, loud 'tut's, and a firm talking-to.
Cool Shooters Ice Shot Glasses
You are a party viking - a Norse God of Geek-shindigs, and your gatherings are legendary. If there isn't at least one visit from the police or ambulance, people are disappointed. People whisper as you walk down the office hallways, "did you go to his party Friday night? Dude, Britney was there!" The two biggest problems in hosting a truly epic party are keeping the drinks cold, and glass breakage. So, the good scientists at ThinkGeek Hootenanny Industries, L.L.C. realized there was a need begging for a product. After weeks of study and drinking well into the night, we found the Cool Shooters Ice shotglasses tray. This silicon rubber tray is shaped like the negative of picardie style shotglasses. Just pour in some water, stick them in the fridge for an hour or so, and unmold 4 perfect shotglasses designed to keep two ounces of your favorite alcohol deliciously chilly while keeping your precious Austrian crystal barware safe and sound. If someone breaks one, who cares? It's ice! Toss it in the sink and make another! ThinkGeek would like to remind everyone to please not drink and perform Calculus. Remember, friends don't let friends derive drunk. Ooh, terrible joke. Was that a party foul?
NOMskulls Cupcake Molds
Zombies are all the rage - from new movies and TV shows, comics, plush dolls... everybody seems to have fallen in love with those horrific flesh-eating shamblers from beyond the grave. Why is that? It's not like they're cuddly. In advanced decomposition, they're probably more squishy and bony. They don't smell good. They're not likely to sit down and play video games with you... at least not very well. Still, Zombies have a certain caché to them. People identify with them, somehow - their dogged determinedness, their singular all-consuming drive to devour human flesh... Well, maybe that part is kinda gross, but we can be zombie-like without actually becoming cannibals. Cupcakes can be delicious, and because they can be made in molds, can be made to look like the filet mignon of zombie cuisine - brains! This set of silicone molds are designed to look like little cartoony human skulls. When made, they puff out, and can be decorated with pink frosting designed to look just like the looping whorls of neurons and myelinated axons. Mmmm, delicious! NOMSkulls silicone cupcake molds come four to a box because brains are designed to share.
Cordies Cable Organizers
We know things. Things that only geeks who have delved too greedily and too deep could ever discover. Unfortunately, we can't tell you all of them. But for now, one little revelation. It's a little known fact that cables left to tangle behind your desk will eventually gain sentience and emerge from the dusty depths to kill you. Seriously, we wouldn't lie. That's why we sell so many cable managing doodads. Swallow the blue pill and go on with your happy life, okay? Let us continue saving the world; it's our sacrifice for the good of our geek brethren. Swallowed? *checks your mouth* Good. Let's move on... Cordies is a desktop cable management system that organizes all the cables on your desk. You know, the ones for your computer, docking station, phone charger, headphones, and that ridiculously noisy USB toy that everyone in your office hates. (It's okay, we grok the appeal it has to you. We're the same way.) Cordies snugly holds your cables so they're weighted down and won't slide off your desk when disconnected. There are three loops and each loop can hold multiple cables stacked on top of each other. Product Specifications Cable management system for your desk or workstation Keeps your cords from sliding into the void behind your desk Prevents your cords from tangling and creating an elder god or spaghetti monster Four loop spaces can accommodate a few cables each Great for power cords, USB cords, cell phone chargers, audio cables, headphones, Firewire and more Made of weighted flexible rubber for a perfect grip Compact size: 3.5 inches wide Available in white or grey
Triops Deluxe Kit
It's true. Triops have been around for a bajillion years. They have survived unchanged due to a very special adaptation called “diapause.” When their ponds dried up, the Triops' eggs went into a state of suspended animation until the ponds filled again. Triops look like a cross between a horseshoe crab and a facehugger (look out Sigourney!), and can grow to be up to 2” long. Oh yeah, and THEY HAVE 3 EYES!! You'll have a very unique conversation starter on your desk. And since Triops hatch in about 24 hours and almost double in size daily, expect your desk to be the center of the office as your co-workers stop by frequently to see how the Triops are doing. Go crazy, name the Triops after your co-workers. We did! And don't worry - these Triops are grown on special farms; you're not harming any ecosystems by growing an army of desk aliens.
Portal Cookie Cutters
At Aperture Science, there's a good amount of joking amongst test subjects and occasionally, if you're lucky, you can joke around Cave Johnson himself. Just do not, under any circumstances, bring his mother into the mix. Got it? No "your mom" jokes. No "Yo Mama" jokes. Not even a "That's what she said." Cave's very sensitive about those. The penalty for joking about Cave's mom? No cookies. That's right, you'll find your Aperture Science Holiday Gift Package is missing the sandwich baggie of Mrs. Johnson's Made From Scratch Science Cookies. Then you'll have to watch everyone else enjoying delicious frosted sugar cookies in the shapes of familiar faces around Aperture Labs. Product Specifications Set of 8 cookie cutters based on Valve's games, Portal & Portal 2 Made of bent metal, dishwasher safe, and packaged in an awesome Companion Cube tin Shapes: Portal, Turret, Running Test Subject, Falling Test Subject, Companion Cube You may be thinking, "ThinkGeek, that's only 5 shapes!" You are so good at counting! The Companion Cube is a layered cookie, which requires 4 cutters to create (but still only one mouth to eat). Officially licensed Portal collectible
AK Ice Cube Tray
The AK-47 is an extremely reliable weapon. Also known as a Kalashnikov, it has been in service for over 60 years and produced in over 25 countries. It remains highly prized by those who desire a weapon that will shoot every time. Its name is feared throughout the world, and its signature bark chills the blood. And a chill is not necessarily a bad thing. On a hot day, a chill is just what you want on your drink, for example. When the sun beats down, sometimes what you want is a little liquid refreshment with a little ice. Sure, ice cubes may be what you reach for first, but what if you wanted to make your drink a bit more "killer?" This new ice cube tray has two halves. When filled and frozen, it looks just like the magazine of the venerable AK-47. Upon opening, out spills 10 beautiful ice bullets, crystalline, deadly, and delicious. Drop them into your beverage, and serve up a killer cocktail guaranteed to turn heads. So next time you need some ice-cold refreshment, turn not to pedestrian cubes. Choose instead an icy cartridge! Features Tray that makes 10 cartridge shaped ice-cubes When closed looks like an AK-47 magazine 22 cm x 7.5 cm x 2 cm Makes cartridges 6.5 cm long Top-rack dishwasher safe
Pirates On Toast Jolly Roger Toast Stamp
The Malliard reaction is what it's called when complex starches and sugars caramelize. It makes most things more delicious, plus it ads a nice roasty-toasty golden brown color to your food. Occasionally, the patterns of caramelized sugars can almost appear to resemble something else - words in an ancient language, the visage of mythological or religious figures, and very rarely harbingers of doom. The Jolly Roger, first flown by pyrates in the early 18th century, would appear to sailors and it would often be followed death and fire. Nowadays, the Jolly Roger has symbolized a certain aspect of digital lawlessness, and was often met with injunctions and fines. Now, you can meet it with toast! The Pirates on Toast Jolly Roger Toast Stamp presses a barely noticeable impression of the skull-and-crossbones into your bread. Pop said bread into your toaster, and in a few short moments, out pops a delicious piece of toasted bread - and lo! The Jolly Roger flies bony and menacing in your breakfast!
WTF? Mug
WTF are we going to write about for a WTF? mug description? We just have no effin' clue. Hopefully, you'll get the idea... 10 ounce black mug with 'WTF?' imprint on front.
Pet's Eye View Digital Camera
All day long you toil at your office. And all day long your dog(s) and/or cat(s) sit around awaiting your return, doing nothing but miss you. Or so you think. But how can you find out what your pet really does all day? It's easy, if you have a Pet's Eye View Digital Camera. Just clip it to their collar, and it will record snapshots of their day! You'll have a photo diary of your pet's travels and travails. Set the timer to record a shot every 1, 5, or 15 minutes and the Pet's Eye View Digital Camera is good to go. At the end of the day, you can download the shots to your computer and see what your pet did all day. The camera is plug-and-play, so there's no software to load (it basically works like a thumb drive)! Who chewed up your slippers when you were at work? Now you have photographic evidence - it was your neighbor, Eric. Bad Eric - bad neighbor. For a sample shot (taken by one of ThinkGeek's sometimes office dogs) click here.
Black Mesa Mug
Welcome to your first day of work at Black Mesa. I'm Bob, the lead scientist in your division. We met at your interview; it's great to see you on board. We're so glad you chose us over those hack jobs at Aperture. They're such losers, and we're pretty sure they're completely off their rockers. Last we heard, they were designing a gray and pink cube to serve as a companion for their test subjects. A pink cube. Seriously. And rumor has it, one of their test subjects got stabbed by one of the early prototypes. I mean, I don't know if that's true, but I'm just sayin'. You made the right choice coming here. Just through those doors is the Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. We'll be spending a lot of time there later today. Oh, and here's Gordon's office. Don't expect him to say much - he's a man of few words. Right Freeman? Ha! See? He didn't say anything. Anyway, here's the most important room - the break room. SWEEEET - there's leftover cake from Fred's birthday party! We love cake here at Black Mesa, seems like every day is someone's birthday. So, yeah, free cake. And everyone here gets a handsome Black Mesa Research Facility mug for their beverage of choice. I'm a coffee man, myself. Go on, fill 'er up! And speaking of filling a cup, I'm late for my scheduled urinalysis. Don't want to get fired! But let me show you to your office first...
Aïkiou Cat Stimulo Feeding Station
The problem with housekittehs is that they tend to get lazy. And fat. Take a look at the itinerary for your average cat and you’ll find 16-18 hours of sleeping, interspersed with eating, grooming, and horking what was eaten/groomed out on to the carpet. Maybe, if there is some motivation to do so, exercise will happen, but probably not. Oh look, that really good sunny spot just appeared... Got a fat cat? Or maybe one that needs a little brainteaser? Stimulo is an interactive cat food dish that stimulates the intellect and entertains your cat (or small dog!) during his meal. Hide the bits of kibble in the bowl’s many tubes. When Kitteh wants food, all he needs to do is reach into the tubes with his paw and fish it out. Meals take longer to eat, which prevents weight gain and reduces digestive problems. Stimulo has also been known to bring back interest in food for older cats. It’s like the hunting and foraging that his ancestors did... but with less bloodshed. Product Specifications Interactive cat (and small dog) food dish that stimulates the intellect Hide dry food in the bowl’s many tubes for kitty to fish out with his paw Engages kitteh’s hunting and foraging instincts Helps reduce digestive problems from eating too quickly Helps prevent weight problems Maintains a healthy mental balance by making kitty think Brings back an interest in eating for older or sickly cats
Pac-Man HotHead Potholder
The concept behind this product is simple: You've got a hot pan, pot, or casserole dish. You need to protect your hands while handling said cooking implement. The first thing that comes to your head is Pac-man. The question remains - is this a universal truth or is it just us old-skool gamer geeks? Recently, caves in Northern France were discovered with Pleistocene-era art on the stone walls. One drawing clearly shows early humans with the spoils of their hunt on the fire, and holding a still-smoking joint is a young hunter with a round yellow oven-mitt... an astounding event in archaeology. Even more astounding was the uncovering of a Second-dynasty Egyptian ruler, possibly Raneb or Nynetjer, surrounded by his entombed house-staff. One preserved mummy had, included in his wrappings, a rubbery yellow glove and a recipe for antelope cheesesteaks. True story! We've refined the Pac-man oven mitt with modern styling and materials. 100% food-safe silicon rubber resists temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and fits your hand like a puppet. Inside his mouth is a game-accurate representation of the classic Pac-man maze. After so many years of gobbling ghosts and power pellets, your hot pots and pans are no problem!
Cobalt blue 'geek.' glass
This is a powerful statement. But you already knew that. Sure we could have slapped some esoteric code or lingo onto a container so that all your co-workers and friends could stand around and drool over your complexity - but we already do that with other mugs and glasses. We figured this time around we would simply tell it like it is. A deep deep deep translucent midnight blue 12 ounce glass with the word 'geek.' written in white front and center. 99% of the time this glass is going to look completely black and opaque. The remaining 1% of the time (when you are holding it at an angle inbetween your optical nerves and some bright light source) it will look like a deep translucent blue. In either configuration, it's quite a unique beverage containment device...
Comic Book Photo Frame
Everything you do is epic. When your alarm goes off, you leap out of bed and check your ever-growing stock portfolio. You dash to the shower, where water cries out joyously at the chance to touch your skin. You choose the dapper of your outfits, put it on, and teleport to your job, where you feed starving children, groom tangled puppies, and paint the glitter coat on the horns of middle aged unicorns. Your life is comic book awesome. Why not celebrate it by freezing a few moments into photographs and displaying them in this amazing frame? Perfect for displaying a timeline of events (say, a birthday party or wedding) and then adding a personal touch at the end with clever speech bubbles. The Comic Book Photo Frame comes with 45 speech bubble stickers and a pen and measures just a bit shorter than your standard piece of printer paper. Product Specifications Turn your photos into a page from a comic book Insert photos into the frames, add speech bubble stickers & text Perfect for documenting big events, road trips, etc. Includes frame, 45 speech bubble stickers, and a pen Dimensions: 8.5" x 10.75" (just a little shorter than a piece of printer paper)
Disposable flasks
When bringing your own beverage, you have a few options. You can bring a whole bottle. Oops, no you can't! Glass bottles are prohibited. You could bring your metal flask. It's awesome and you got your name laser etched on it. But once it's empty, you still have to lug around a metal flask. And let's not talk about what happens if you try to get it into a venue with a metal detector! Whether you're toting juice or the product of your DIY Juice-to-Alcohol Kit, the Disposable Flask is going to make your life easier. It's like a Capri Sun and a flask had an adorable, useful baby. Your Disposable Flask is simple to use: open it up, blow in it to open it up, then pour in your beverage. (Use a funnel if you're uncoordinated.) It stands upright when full and will fold up when it's flat and empty. Bring it wherever it's legal to bring it... which is everywhere if you're drinking juice. YAY, juice! Product Specifications Disposable flask makes drinking away from home easy Great for any beverage, alcoholic or not! Fits comfortably in a pocket, purse, or backpack Stands upright when full, folds flat when empty Holds approximately 5 shots worth of beverage Bring it for camping, fishing, sporting events, concerts, and more Note: Check your local laws & venue rules before B'ingYOB Food safe: BPA-free
Scott Pilgrim Kissing Mug
ThinkGeek World Domination HQ is in Fairfax, Virginia, but thanks to the magic of the intarwebz, we have friends all over the world. Real life friends, Facebook friends, Twitter friends. And the ones that live near a Tim Hortons speak of it as if it were the fast food establishment of God himself. We assume that despite its humble appearance, it serves coffee laced with ambrosia and donuts made from the purest sugar crushed in the hands of archangels. Our Tim Hortons-loving friends are that serious about it. Alas, it appears that we are several hours away from the nearest Tim Hortons (who knew there were so many in West Virginia?), so we'll have to settle for drinking out of this super cool Scott Pilgrim Mug. Our coffee will be a little bitter (tears always make it so), but at least we'll have the smooching faces of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers to keep us company.
Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Mug
You need to make a statement in your office. And that statement is "Don't Mess With My Caffeine." If you leave your mug to dry by the sink, you don't want any fool from HR picking it up and using it for their namby-pamby green tea. No way. Your black mug is used for black coffee. Black like your Sith heart. This mug will delight young and old fans of Star Wars. Featuring a movie illustration from The Empire Strikes Back (the best movie in the series - just sayin'), Darth Vader looms large. But don't worry, all your other favorites are there: Leia, Luke, Han Solo, R2-D2, C-3PO, Lando Calrissian, and a handful of Stormtroopers. Use it to make a statement in your break room.
Donut Hole Factory
Ever wonder what happens to the holes they cut in donuts? We're not talking about the existential lack of something, that Zen-like absence of self, no no. We're talking about the dough they remove to make the hole! They're perfectly good potential-pastries in their own right, and shouldn't just get cast aside like so much baking detritus. Rerolling that extra dough into new donuts makes for tough donuts, so to keep the pastries light and fluffy, they deep-fat-fried those little nuggets into delicious pop-em-in-your-mouth treats. Unfortunately, deep-fat-friers are unhealthy. They're messy, and tough to clean. We've found a kitchen gadget that'll make more than a half-dozen of those little beauties in less than four minutes. What's more, the resulting donut holes are delicious and have much less fat than their fried counterparts. Like a little waffle iron, but with golfball sized indentations. You fill them up with batter, close the lid, and in the time it takes to watch a Simpsons's commercial-break, you've got beautiful little golden nuggets of joy! Each with all the flavor and less than half the fat. It's like a miracle or something! Features Electric Donut hole maker Makes delicious low-fat donut holes in about 4 minutes Nonstick coating makes clean-up easy Includes an instruction manual with recipes for perfect donut holes Great for cheesy poofs, pizza puffs, and octopus balls! (try 'em!) Dimensions: 5.9 x 9.3 x 11 inches Your mornings will never be the same!
Darth Vader Cookie Jar
It makes so much sense. Cookies are evil for diets. Darth Vader is evil. Darth Vader is made of cookies. We don't know how we didn't make the connection earlier. We're sure that it's just a fact that George Lucas didn't want to include in the movies. Or maybe he did and the National Cookie Lobbyists forced him to take it out. We're depending on you, geek friends. Find that alternate footage of Darth Vader getting injured and leaking chocolate chips and sprinkles. This cookie jar is shaped like everyone's favorite Sith Lord. It's a full figure sculpt (different from a full-figured sculpt, which we suppose they'd do for Jabba), complete with light saber. The jar separates at the shoulders for easy access to Vader's delicious cookie insides. Of course, you'll have to keep replenishing the cookie supply yourself. We may have a direct line to the Dark Side, but they haven't yet given us access to the cookie materializer. Product Specifications Officially licensed Lucasfilm collectible Cookie jar shaped like your favorite Sith Lord, Darth Vader Separates at the shoulders for cookie access Made of sculpted ceramic and perfect to the last detail Approximately 11" x 6.5" x 13"
Garden Zombie
Nobody was quite sure what caused it. An alien pathogen riding the tail of Halley's Comet? Some government "rage" virus? Radiation from a downed satellite? Your guess is as good as ours, but one thing's for sure - the dead are rising, and they are hungry for your brains. It's a post-zombie world, and if we want to live in it, we have to learn to live with them. Everybody walks around with large caliber weapons, swords, and cricket bats now, but every now and again you see the so-called "domesticated" zombies. These de-toothed and chained shamblers are useful for all sorts of tasks - from carrying your groceries to scaring off those nasty neighborhood kids. Now, of course it's illegal to sell reanimated corpses, so we've had to rely on resin facsimiles to stand in for a frightening visage of death. Watching over your garden is a monstrous shambler, pale, vile and seemingly hungry! Of course, you know better! He's just a terrifying statue! From mid-torso up, he "rises" out of your freshly tilled and mulched begonias ready to devour the brains of the next interloper he comes across. Guaranteed to scare away any trespasser, without the headaches of accidentally releasing a real zombie. All those complications, bodies, and police forms - who needs the hassle? Your fresh resin Garden Zombie comes packed in three pieces, and assembles in seconds!
Sun and Moon Jars
Captured inside the Sun and Moon Jars are a highly efficient solar cell, a rechargeable battery and a low energy LED. When the jar is placed in direct sunlight the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. This energy is then used at night to power the LED lamp inside the jar. The light is diffused by the frosted jar and give the appearance of sunlight emitting from the sun or a cool moon glow (a warm colored LED light is used to give a more natural and warm light). You may have noticed that there is no switch on the Sun Jar - in fact there are no visible controls at all - but there is a clever light sensor inside that automatically activates the LED when it gets dark or the lights are turned out! (There is an override switch inside the lid to turn off the light at night and conserve battery life.) Mason jars are not only beautiful but by their very nature they are water tight - so the Sun Jar can happily be left outside in any weather conditions. A perfect garden light or night light for a child's bedroom. The Sun Jar needs DIRECT sunshine to work! Leave the Sun Jar outside or in a sunny window in direct sunlight for several hours to charge, (electric light indoors is not bright enough!). The Sun and Moon Jars use a standard AA rechargeable battery, which is replaceable. Available as Sun Jar (Yellow), Moon Jar (Blue), or Pink Moon!

Firefly Serenity Cutaway Poster Set
The characters are so real, you feel like you know them. The ship herself a patched together mishmash of sheet metal, duct tape, and bits of wire, and yet you believe she can fly. The 'verse is so full of personality that you wish you could live there, despite the lack of respectable work and the painful need to eat this month. The TV show Firefly only aired for 14 episodes, and yet the fan-following is possibly even more rabid than other unnamed series. Though the show's creator, Joss Whedon, has made it known he won't be revisiting Serenity any time soon, Nathan Fillion, Malcolm Reynolds himself, has bandied about the idea of buying the franchise and resurrecting it. We can hope, but what are we to do until that day? We can enjoy the rich future-history created by those who worked on the shows and movie. Illustrator John Mullaney and graphic artist Geoffrey Mandel teamed up to create these four beautiful posters depicting two 3D cutaway views of our favorite ought-three K6 Firefly, Serenity, plus one of Inara's shuttle and the MF-813 "Flying Mule" ground transport. Each one meticulously detailed and includes several easter eggs for the fans to find. See if you can spot Inara's incense burner, or the shot of the Alliance Operative as he tries to taunt Mal out of hiding, or perhaps, if you are very lucky indeed, you can find "Vera." If you don't know what Vera is, grab your nearest geek in a browncoat.
Flash Drive Bottle Opener
There are so many things that a geek should carry around, but if you did manage to remember all of them, you'd look like you were ready to hike the Alps. So we settle. We carry things like Swiss Army Knives or multitools. And of course, the one tool we really need is the one that we don't have. This is how the world ends. We bang the beer bottle on the edge of the table and whimper. We're here to solve your problems. (Yep, thank us later.) This shiny silver USB flash drive has 2 GB of storage for all your important data AND it doubles as a bottle opener. Bring it to work, load it up with all your important files, and then bring it out to happy hour or back to your place for a few brewskis. It's a brilliant invention and we're honestly not sure why nobody thought of it sooner. Product Specifications Shun the unitasker! This flash drive also opens bottles! USB 2.0, 2GB of storage Stylish, portable, and useful in TWO ways Supports Windows 7/Vista/XP, Linux 2.5, MAC OS X or higher Dimensions: 75 x 18 x 9 mm (approx.)

Blue Sun Travel Poster Set
New Series II set available! The Alliance stretches dozens of worlds to explore and discover. From shiny Londinium to ancient Sihnon there are pleasures both decadent and sublime. Perhaps you prefer to mix with the nobles of Persephone, or bask in the tranquility of Miranda. If you've a sense of history, perhaps you'd like to pay homage to the fallen heroes of Serenity Valley on Hera. No matter your destination, Blue Sun Travel can get you there. This beautiful poster set will decorate the walls of your Series 3 Firefly until you decide where to go. Before you travel, make sure you put on your cunning hat and pack a few grenades. As wonderful as many worlds of the Alliance can be, there are occasional... incidents. Nothing to worry about, of course! We have everything under control!
Magnetter Key Hanger
In the realm of household organization, there's nothing simpler than a hook. They're good for keys, coats, and pirates. Come-on, who ever saw a pirate without a hook? By the way, if you ever ask a pirate why they always wear an eyepatch, they'll probably tell you - "...yar, first day with the hook..." Modern day pirates wouldn't replace a lopped-off hand with a hook, no sir. They would have gone high-tech. Imagine slapping a ten pound neodymium magnet to the end of their stumps! Well, maybe that's a bad idea. Those suckers would be hard to pull off of a cannonball, and you really want to be able to drop those before you fire them out of a cannon. Still, magnets of a certain size are useful. Tirelessly holding onto your keys, for example, with no visible means of support. It's almost magical! Take this plain sheet of polished wood for instance. Just touch your key ring to this board, and hidden magnets grasp your booty (your keys, sicko) and hold fast! Sleek and modern, they hold onto your keys without the potential for massive eye-trauma.
Firefly Serenity Giant Wall Decal
Malcolm Reynolds: Good man. Solid, dependable, tight pants. He's a man of strong convictions, with a willingness to do just about anything to keep his people safe. After the disastrous battle at Serenity Valley, Malcolm pushed himself to find relevance in a new Alliance controlled 'verse. Realizing that, while one man can't make a difference to the whole of the Alliance, he can carve out a home for himself and go on about his business. He believed that, given a good ship and the right crew, a man could be fulfilled by living a quiet and simple life, doing honorable work for good wages, and be left alone. Boy, was he wrong. Still, he found his good crew, but more importantly, his good ship. A midbulk transport, ought-three K-six-four Firefly. Yessir, a ship like that will be with you 'til the day you die. You just had to step around the 廢物 'cause I think something was living there, before. It's a thing of beauty, majestic in it's own way. Sometimes, you can just sit and stare at it, and wonder at it. It represents Freedom. The freedom to come and go as you please. The freedom to make port in one place, move some goods, collect some coin, and move on to another. The freedom to fly. Unfortunately, you're not free to keep one of these things in your office or workspace - a Firefly transport weighs some 285,000 pounds, and is almost 270 feet long. Also, the outrigger turbine pods have a strong tendency to suck in people what stand too close to 'em. So your options are to enjoy the view from afar, or affix this wonderfully detailed vinyl representation onto your wall. This one, for instance, is 48 spectacular inches long, goes up easy and can easily be removed, or repositioned with no mess or residue on your wall. It's still a gorgeous piece of tech, and won't leak engine grease onto your carpeting. Also, it's a far sight cheaper. Features Vinyl wall cling - adheres to any flat surface Finely detailed, primary buffer panel and all 48 inches long A must for any Firefly or Serenity fan Goes up easily, comes down or moves just as easily Won't peel the paint off your walls, or leave sticky residue behind, so safe for anybody!
Fawkes and Codex Highland Sextasy Poster
Hey internet shopping masses! Do you like fine art? I know I do, though lately it's mostly it's the online multiple-polygon variety, and the occasional downloaded Bollywood musical. I do loves me some dazzling choreography. So, art? Great, right? I commissioned this guy I know that does van-art. Whipped this up for me real quick for my good buddy and bestest pal ever, Codex. We're inseparable. We're like peas in a pod, or conjoined twins without the connective tissue, or two of those really really strong magnets. Neodymium'd. Anyway, Codex was dating the leader of a rival guild, Fawkes, and I was completely 100% behind it. 110% percent, even! I was like Team Codex-Fawkes! Like Team Cawkes, or something. Except, it didn't quite work out. See, she was all, "I like your bad-boy attitude and rugged good looks," and he was all, "whatever, cupcake. You're like a research project to me," and she was all, "go blow it out your arrgh hole!" Great comeback, Codex! Really put Fawkes in his kilty place! So I had this seriously bitchin' painting made, because, you know - I'm uber-supportive, and would do anything for my bestest bud, Codex! I had to sell some blood to help pay for it, though. I'm feeling kinda lightheaded, so I had to put this painting up for sale to raise fundage. I auctioned off the original so I could buy my friendy-friend a sweet computer, but she really deserves a great machine for gaming so I'm selling poster versions too. Poster'd. You can get your own super high-quality print, 18 x 24, of Fawkes, enkilted and ensworded, standing boldly next to Codex all pale and bosomy. It's a really good likeness, I think. I'll send proceeds to Child's Play, benefitting sick kids in children's hospitals everywhere. So, open your sacks, everyone! And by sacks, I mean money sacks, 'cause MMORPGs typically have a sort-of renaissance motif where sacks carried your gold and silver, though personally I've only got copper, hence the excessive bloodletting. Do you think the tissue center'd take perspiration, 'cause I'm kinda dizzy and flop-sweaty at the moment... P.S. - Don't tell my guild master Vork. If he thinks I'm trying to raise money for the guild-hall, there'll be "hell to pay." I'm serious, I think I heard him say that there's a 20% "hell surcharge," or something. Usury'd.
LED Binary Clock
New Feature - Now Displays Time In True Binary As Well As Powers Of Two Binary Mode! Woohoo! It's easy for any self-respecting geek to figure out how to read this clock in a few minutes. Check out the image below for the details. Still don't get it? Then you probably shouldn't buy one, should you? Sure you could wing it and 'approximate' the time based on the position of the sun and act like you can read this clock, but you should probably go get one of these instead Computers use on/off switches to tell the time, now you can too! Get one of these puppies and you are on your way to truly becoming one with the binary...

Umbrella Umbrella
We love the look of this umbrella so much, we're gonna say it twice. That's why we call it our Umbrella Umbrella. If you were a corporation (with, say, multinational bioengineering / pharmaceutical interests) and you had to buy an umbrella, this would be the one you'd want. The red and white alternating panels? It just says "corporation" and "umbrella." Umbrella. Corporation. Doesn't that just have a nice ring to it? Really. What more could you want from an umbrella? Protection from the elements? It's got that, too! This is an automatic-opening, compact nylon umbrella with a metal handle and a 42 inch arc. It features a matte-black handle and black button on top. Plus, this one includes a flexible, black wrist strap, which is valuable when you're swinging it as a bludgeon against invading zombie hordes. You know. Like you do.
Titanium Spork
Every mythic hero normally has an equally mythic weapon. Zeus had his thunderbolts. Thor had his hammer, Mjolnir. King Arthur had his Excalibur. Frodo and Bilbo had their Sting. Rhydderch Hael had his Dyrnwyn. King Kong had his bananas . . . you get the idea. It's time for you to join the ranks of the heroes and heroines of lore as you wield your own legendary weapon in your battle against a very powerful foe: hunger. The Titanium Spork is ready for the challenge. Titanium is known for its great strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight, which makes this spork a valuable asset around feeding time. Imagine how much more food you could shovel in at your local buffet if you didn't have to worry about the strain of picking up a heavy fork or spoon. Your food consumption can become the stuff of legends. Even just holding the Titanium Spork in your hand, you can feel its power. It is perhaps the greatest gastronomic invention since lickable wallpaper. Hunger, beware - your end is near! Titanium Spork Dimensions: approx. 6.25" long and 1.5" at its widest point.

No way. These next generation wallets don't even smell! And they are soft and gentle on the hands with no sharp corners to talk about. Sure you use duct tape to mount your hard drive in your case, or as floppy labels, or even to upholster your office furniture - but not until now could you realistically hope to use duct tape to carry around your bling. These durable and well-constructed duct tape wallets are great for all programmers, but Perl coders might enjoy them the most. Availble in two styles, Bi-fold (dimensions 4.25" x 3.75") and tri-fold (dimensions 4" x 3.25"). See additional images for pics of each. Wee!
Half Life 2 Dog Vs. Strider Poster

See Dog take the Strider down, saving the day. Good Dog! This glossy color poster features a still from the cinematic fight scene between Dog and the Strider. If you have any doubts that a Dog (robotic or real) is man's best friend, this should clear them up. It comes rolled up in a poster tube and will look great framed in your game room or tacked up to the wall of your cube. Product Specifications Glossy poster of Dog ripping up a Strider From the video game Half Life 2 Comes rolled up in a poster tube for protection Looks great framed or tacked to the wall of your cube Dimensions: 19.25" x 36".
Rubik's Cube Salt & Pepper Mills
Back when the Rubik's Cube was in its hey day, the kitchen was probably mostly foreign territory for you. Sure, you could toast a mean Pop Tart or pour yourself a giant bowl of Cap'n Crunch, but anything beyond that was likely outside the realm of your culinary ability. Boy, how things have changed - now you're a microwave ninja and can follow perfectly the 4 steps on the back of any box. Your mac-and-cheese is legendary. A hot dog from your kitchen is even better than the ones you can get from the gas station stop shop. What better way to pay some homage to the days of your culinary roots then with these puzzling retro style grinders. Each cube is built around a high-quality ceramic grinding mill. The top layer of the cube rotates to operate the mill. The action of grinding the pepper or salt has the same feel and sound as the classic Rubik's cube puzzle. Dimensions: 5.7 x 5.7 x 5.7cm
Wonder Woman Apron
You might be asking what the Princess of the Amazons has to do with cooking. Allow us to enlighten you as to why Wonder Woman is the best chef that ever was. For starters, her superhuman strength, stamina, and agility would negate the need for most appliances. Lemonade? Sure, she'll squeeze every drop out of that lemon. Dice a 10-lb bag of potatoes? Give her 30 seconds and a sharp knife. And if she forgot an ingredient, she could just fly to the supermarket. Just remember, her Lasso of Truth will prevent you from lying about the quality of her cooking. This is a full-length, adult-sized apron for anyone who wants to be a little bit more like Wonder Woman. We can't promise you superhuman strength, stamina, and agility or the ability to fly. But there's a Lasso of Truth on your hip and you can threaten to use it! Product Specifications Full-length, adult-sized apron featuring Wonder Woman costume One size fits most adults Size: 27"W x 31"H, 24" neck loop, 33" waist tie 100% Polyester: Machine wash gently with like colors, tumble dry low
Tear Away Planner Mousepad
Point. Click. Repeat. Ad nausuem. Ooh, wait - an e-mail from the boss. Meeting - Friday - 2:30pm You can't forget, but alas you haven't any scraps of paper on which to write a note. BUT, you do have the Tear Away Planner Mousepad - and now you have the power of planning. Because the Tear Away Planner Mousepad is a mousepad and a planner all rolled into one (hopefully, you could have guessed that based on the product's name). Just fill a sheet up with your plans for the week, and then tear off the top layer when the week is over and start again. Of course, we couldn't just give you something you could use without making sure it was silly, too - because not only do you have a 5 day planner under your mouse, but you also have a way to rate your expectations and accomplishments for the week. On Monday you might think your hopes are high, just to discover by Friday that you shouldn't have gotten your hopes up. There are three boxes at the bottom for continuing plans: This Weekend, Next Week, and Snowball in Hell. No matter what common sense says, we refuse to put "transform into a giant robot dinosaur" into "Snowball in Hell." Hey, it could happen. Each pad is 8" x 9.5" and has 60 sheets (enough for a whole year and then some). Works with regular and neutered mice (optical . . . think about it).
Ghostbusters 12" Neon Sign
Neon signs are the best investment apartment and condo dwellers can make. Let us explain: a friend of ours picked up a neon sign from a local restaurant that went out of business. It said "CHICKEN" in giant orange neon letters and it was glorious. His girlfriend was less enthusiastic about the purchase. However, she ate her words the night of their housewarming party. "Look for the neon CHICKEN sign," Adam wrote on the invitations. Sure enough, nobody got lost in the winding mess that was their community. They followed the warm orange glow right to their front door. Now you can do the same with your very own neon Ghostbusters sign! Whether you're using it to show friends the way to your party or to advertise your very own ghostbusting business, it will guide living beings safely to your door. And as an added bonus, ghosts and poltergeists will stay far away because they know that with the sign comes humans with proton packs. This neon Ghostbusters sign measures 15" x 12" and features a universal power cord with adapter.
Brilliant Earth Poster
This print--made using night time images and ice data--dramatically reveals the effect of humanity's influence on our planet. You can see the intense concentrations of energy use in Eastern North America and Northern Europe, gas and oil fires, shrimp boats fishing by night in the Sea of Japan, and, of course, New York City. Fascinating for all of us who are curious about the world we inhabit. 36 x 24 inches (91x61 cm). Laminated poster.
Mini Business Card File Cabinet
You've collected hundreds of business cards since that last conference. Now, they're scattered between stacks on your desk, stuffed into files, mixed into papers, and wrinkling in your back pocket. That's hardly the way to maintain a proper business relationship. This little file cabinet looks like a shrunken version of the real thing, but holds up to five hundred business cards. Two drawers pull out, letting you shuffle through your entire collection. We've even included lettered-tabs to help keep everything organized. Look, I'm not going to tell you how to organize your life, I can only supply you with the tools. However, this little guy looks so darned good on my desk, I'm keeping it! Get yours while you can!
Stainless Steel Wallet
Being die-hard geeks it's hard for us to get excited about utilitarian items like wallets. Yep, they hold credit cards and some money... they go in your pocket... but they're just not as interesting as usb thumbdrives or artificially intelligent robots from the future. But then we came across these amazing wallets made from real stainless steel and were forced to upgrade our view on wallets. You might think that steel would be hard on your jeans pocket, but in fact these wallets have the texture of silk and are woven from micro fibers of stainless steel. When you touch the silky metallic surface you'll think they were created by sophisticated nanobots... and almost nothing is more geeky than nanobots. Available in a bi-fold wallet format (4 card slots, 1 money pocket and 1 clear ID window), or a bi-fold wallet with criss cross card slots.
Rubik's Cube Alarm Clock
The 80's saw many trends come and go - our favorite, of course, was legwarmers, but coming in a close second were those colorful cubic twisty puzzles that boggled our minds. Remember solving them with a screwdriver? Yeah, we did that, too. We won't tell if you don't. Eventually, though, we figured out how to solve the thing properly. Before too long, we got fast at it - fast enough to compete professionally! There's even one monkey that can glance at each side for a few seconds, close his eyes, and solve it in less than a minute. He's a genius, but he's also memorized the phonebook. Up to "G." Kinda scary. Since we live the cube, it's time to BE the cube. Our desktops will show our love for the venerable puzzle from the days of Duran Duran. The LCD display of this unique clock shows the time, sure, but give the top-row a twist, and you can switch the display between the Alarm, Calendar, and even the Temperature settings! There were lots of great things about the 80's, certainly. We're just taking those great ideas and updating them for the new millennium. Now, if we can just bring back the piano necktie...
Octopus Surprise Mug
The octopus is a crafty creature. Search it out on the internets, and you will see octopi (or octopuses or octopodes - pick your favorite) changing color and shape (sometimes mimicking other animals) and even walking on land. But why, oh why, would you ever expect to find one hiding in your coffee? Well, because you have an Octopus Surprise Mug - that's why! Each Octopus Surprise Mug looks like a harmless mug made of gleaming white porcelain. But inside, lurks an octopus, waiting for your beverage level to drop. And then . . . IT WILL EAT YOUR FACE OFF!!!! Ok, it won't, but if you're not expecting it, it surely will startle you. But don't think of the octopus in the Octopus Surprise Mug as mean; think of him or her as waiting to congratulate you for drinking another cup of liquid. Eight arms clapping - just for you. Octopus Surprise Mug Simple looking, white, porcelain mug holds an octopus waiting to surprise unknowing drinkers. Great for scaring friends, and/or coworkers. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Dimensions: 3.25" tall.
Geeky Wrapping Paper
After years of toiling and desperation, our engineers at ThinkGeek Gift Labs (tm) have finally invented something so unique and innovative, it perplexes even the brightest minds as to how global society might be impacted. We'll explain it to you but if your brain explodes, we warned you. You see, we have taken the flesh of a tree, mixed it up with some water and other patented goos. Then we took both some organic and inorganic pigments and dissolved them into a solvent. We took those pigments and applied them to the top of the modified tree flesh using very specific and highly intelligent patterns, and then coated everything with a nice protective finish made out of a special liquid that contains a low percentage of pigment and dries to a nice luster. We then folded these new creations and packaged four to a package and are selling them to you at a very affordable price so that you can turn around and use them to cover up things you want to gift to other people so that they might be surprised in a controlled manner. Sheer brilliance! Currently, you can choose between these designs: Equations - Scientific equations hand-written on blue and white graph paper. Binary - Black paper with a terminal green font and 'Wrapping Paper' in binary written all across it. Zombies - Black paper with zombies in various states of gift-giving/receiving, including a brain wrapped up with a pretty red bow. Can Has - "Can Has" in LOLcat font (aka Impact) printed over and over on a wasabi green background. ChristmasBots - Light blue paper with the cutest little holiday robots you'll ever imagine. And by cute we mean hella-nifty. Nondenominational - Dark blue paper in a traditional style emblazoned with "Have a Satisfactory, Non-denominational Capitalist, Wintertime Gift-giving Season!" Each pack of wrapping paper contains 4 sheets. Each sheet is 20" x 30". Many trees *were* harmed to bring you these unique creations, but it was all in good fun so what can we do?
Xtensor Gamer Hand Exerciser
You've got the greatest gaming rig out there. You've spent a lot of money on it - now it's a monolithic liquid-nitrogen-cooled monstrosity capable of pumping out smoother 3D video than real-life. Your pointing device is sensitive to a billion dpi, and your keyboard has a customized throw-distance tuned exactly to your finger length. After all this effort, you still get pwned by n00bs. What's the problem? Your rig may be awesome, and your brain may be sharp and quick, but if your body doesn't respond to your brain's commands correctly, you may as well be playing with mittens on. You need physical conditioning, Daniel-san, and there'll be no wax-on-wax-off, no sand-o-floor, no paint fence. The Xtensor is the only product on the market to perform with true biomechanical correctness, able to stimulate muscles and tendons in the hands, wrists and elbows that have been virtually off limits to all other devices. Repetitive gripping and squeezing of your game-controller or mouse forces extended isometric contractions of the flexor muscles of the hands and fingers producing an unnatural imbalance over time as the hands operate in a mostly closed position. For this reason, patients with hand, wrist and elbow disorders experience unnecessarily long healing times and high reoccurrence rates. Everybody got that? Flexing with the Xtensor between gaming sessions will make your reaction-times much quicker, and will mean no cramping hands after all-night fragging sessions.
Doctor Who TARDIS Talking Cookie Jar
We don't know about you, but we miss the days when we lived alone. Back then, we could have a jar full of cookies and know exactly how many were left. Simple mathematics. 51 Oreos in a package, minus 2 before work, minus 2 when we got home, minus 2 after dinnner with a glass of cold milk. We knew that package of Oreos would last approximately 8.5 days. But now that we're saddled with significant others, roommates, and/or geeklings, the math gets complicated. With so many variables, it's nearly impossible to solve for x (x being the number of cookies currently in the jar, duh). We can usually assume x is equal to or greater than one, because most humans won't eat the last cookie, but even that constant isn't so constant around some people. The Talking TARDIS Cookie Jar will solve for x in a way that hearkens back to your single days. For starters, we're pretty sure it's bigger on the inside. But most importantly, it makes authentic TARDIS noises (which, we suppose is why they say it's "talking" even though it doesn't say any words). So when the cookie jar disappears from the kitchen counter and gets hidden somewhere else, you can feign ignorance and say, "It's a TARDIS, it's probably taking a quick trip to Pompeii." When it reappears the next morning, you can point and shout with glee to welcome it back, knowing full well how many cookies it contains.
Battlestar Galactica Propaganda Posters
The Cylons were created by man. They rebelled. They evolved. They look and feel human. Some are programmed to think they are human. There are many copies. And they have a plan. Imagine that you spend, all day, every frackin' day, in a metal tube hurtling pell-mell through outer space. You're doing everything you can do to just carve out a meager existence. An intractable enemy continuously nipping at your heels - one that looks and acts exactly like you do... It's a miracle you haven't gone crazy. President Laura Roslin and her administration realized that morale was low. She had to figure out a way to keep the ever dwindling human population not only motivated but enthusiastic about continuing the battle against the Cylons. Taking a cue from history, she employed a little bit of psychological warfare. These posters might be called "propaganda" and "felgercarb" by some with a distinct lack of vision, but she would call them "inspirational." And what the hell is "felgercarb" anyway?! A rolled set of 5 posters, 22" by 17" printed on heavy 100 pound satin-finish paper, each depicting a motivational phrase and inspirational graphic designed specifically to keep humans alive, wipe out toasters, and keeping our Vipers aloft. So say we all.
Star Wars Han Solo in Carbonite Ice Cube Tray
That doesn't really have the same sort of dramatic impact, does it? Still, that's basically what Darth Vader meant when he was talking to Boba Fett in the bowels of Cloud City. Thankfully, you won't need to go to such extremes if your Han Solo Ice Cubes melt. You just stick them back in the freezer and through the magic of the exothermic process you'll have ice in no time at all. But wait, how do you get Han Solo Ice Cubes in the first place? Well, simple enough, you just use one of our Han Solo Ice Cube Trays. The Han Solo Ice Cube Tray comes with room for six (6) small, 1.75" Han Solos and one (1) large, 3.5" Solo. We're pretty sure that Boba Fett would be happy with just one smuggler on ice but seven would be a serious payday! The silicone on the mold is good down to -40F so don't try using these on Hoth. They should be fine in your average household freezer though. Product Specifications Officially-Licensed Star Wars Collectible Freezer safe down to -40F 7 Han Solos (6 small and 1 large) Still only worth one bounty Bounty Hunter Pro Tip: For crystal clear ice, boil the water twice before pouring it into the tray (allowing the water to cool between each boil). The boiling "deareates the water (i.e. forces dissolved air molecules out). This process also works on various life forms when preparing them for "long term storage".
Swashbuckling BBQ Sword
For millions of years, humans have gathered around the fire to keep warm. One enterprising early hominid stored his haunch of wildebeest too close to the flames, and came away with an unexpectedly juicy and delicious roast 'beest. In subsequent attempts to replicate this magic "cooking" process, however, those cavemen tried holding the meat over the fire with their hands. Several debilitating burns later, they learned to hold the meat over the flames with green sticks. That's using the old noodle! Later, as technology progressed, mankind was able to work metal into spits, and cooking technology leaped forward. However, mankind also progressed in weapons technology and that lovely metal was all used up for swords and knives. What they really needed was something that could do double-duty - a spit with which to roast their meat, and a foil with which to run their enemies through. Unfortunately, that advance wasn't seen widely until the early 21st century, and the culinary arts consequently suffered. One only has to look at hardtack, Spam™, and "Freedom Fries" to know the truth of wartime food-suckage. Thankfully, we now have a 19" long skewer designed to punch holes in your enemy's armor as well as fit up to four large marshmallows on double-tongs! Rejoice, ye violent gourmands! Now you don't have to choose between seeing your enemies flee before you, and roasting the perfect weenie.
Stargate Coasters
Deep in the desert wastes of Egypt, a great superconducting ring sat untouched for thousands of years. Finally unearthed, this great Stargate was eventually harnessed and brought back to Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station in Colorado to be studied. What isn't well known, however, was many hundreds of smaller rings, each no bigger than a hands-breadth, were also unearthed. The large Stargates took our scientists nigh on 60 years to understand. The little ones, however, have yet to be figured out. Were they visualizing models for the real thing? Could they have been keepsakes or mementos for the Ancient builders? Or possibly tiny gateways for mice-shaped hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings? We may never know. The SG-1 program, however, ran out of money in season 10 - er, I mean - 2007, and Cheyenne Mountain had to liquidate its assets. Therefore, we took these miniscule Stargates, placed rippled surfaces inside the rings and called them coasters. Put your drinks on 'em so your desk doesn't get rings. How the mighty have fallen, eh? Sad. Still, you get to benefit! So, cool!
Rare Earth Magnetic Fridge Pins
Neodymium magnets are becoming World Famous for their amazing lift to weight ratios. It used to be you could only find Neodymium magnets in specialized equipment like hard drives. Now they are creeping up more and more in everyday life. You could even consider making your own. How? It's very simple! You just find yourself a nice chunk of some Misch metal from the Earth's substrate, then carefully extract any Neodymium, purify it, mold it, coat it in a small amount of nickel, and then wrap some plastic around it in the shape of a thumbtack. Voila. These rare earth magnetic fridge pins are great for home or office. Their small size won't cover up your pictures, notes and lists. And again, let us repeat that they are strong enough to hold 10 sheets of paper and lift up to 1 lb. each! 8 pins in every set!
Hidden Bookshelf
Knowledge, they say, is power. Power to do good or ill, power to create or destroy, power to change the world! All that power, though, cannot defeat even the weakest of the nuclear forces: gravity. Or can it? Look at this stack of books... How is it staying up? Is it glue? Velcro? Tractor beams? The secret is a simple and clever little device called the Hidden Bookshelf! An L-shaped wedge of metal holds your books up against the wall while a tiny clip holds the inside cover of the book up, giving your larger books the illusion of sticking to the wall as if by magic! Of course, you're smarter than most and know that there's no such thing as magic. Still, those more impressionable people out there will still be blown away by your apparent mastery of space and time!
Trek Fish Car Emblem
There are Trekkers and then there are Trekkies. The only difference being Trekkers are ashamed of the reputation that comes with being a Star Trek fan. So much so, in fact, they've shunned the word "Trekkie" as somehow being derogatory. See, we believe that we should own the word. There's nothing wrong with being a Trekkie, so might as well say it loudly and proudly! Shout it from the rooftops! Wear your Expendable shirt with pride! Make your fandom known even when you're driving! We Trekkies (own it!) practically worship at the Altar of Roddenberry, so we wake every morning thinking about the intricacies of temporal mechanics, stub our toes and curse in perfect tlhinghan Hol, drink steaming mugs of raktajino, and drive to work lamenting the Warp 5 galactic speed limit. No doubt about it, we're Trekkies (I SAID OWN IT)! It is with that in mind that we humbly offer these chromed plastic Trek fish for your car. Boldly go and proclaim your love for all things Trek. Lament that your car doesn't have an anti-matter warp core, or is armed with photon torpedoes! Show everyone you know, everywhere you go, that infinite diversity in infinite combinations is your prime directive! Ok, maybe that was a stretch, but still - there's nothing like being a Trekkie (shakes fist - ownnn iiiiiit...) and having a Trek Fish Car Emblem shining proudly on your vehicle.

Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker
Even Ninjas need their sleep. For a Ninja, sleep is a time of renewal, contemplation, and rejuvenation. And when a Ninja sleeps, it is a very deep sleep. Most sleeping Ninjas can only be roused from slumber by another Ninja, which is a big problem if you are a Ninja, are tired, must wake up for a secret Ninja mission, and the only Ninja in your office. Good thing we found the Sonic Bomb Clock - it will wake even the soundest Ninja Nap. The Sonic Bomb Clock has an adjustable volume alarm with a maximum loudness of 113 decibels (just for reference, a jackhammer is about 100 decibels!) And the bed shaker does just that. Slip it under your mattress and your ears will bleed and your bed will shake, and there is no way you will oversleep. Or, you could turn the sound alarm off and tape the bed shaker to your office chair. You'll be vibrated awake without disturbing the drones. Then you can get back to your Ninja activity refreshed and ready for action.
Aperture Science Vinyl Decals
It's no secret that we love Portal. After playing Portal 2, we went back and replayed the original. And then replayed Portal 2. In one Saturday. Then came the dreams. Suddenly, we were in the test chamber with the portal gun. GLaDOS was calling us portly and insulting our parentage. And it looked strangely familiar... like the ThinkGeek offices, except every desk, computer, file cabinet, and wall was emblazoned with the Aperture Science logo. If you dream of being an employee of Aperture Laboratories, this decal set is for you. Turn anything you own into the property of Cave Johnson & crew by slapping a decal on it. That's right, your computer, your car, your refrigerator, your file cabinet, all of these can instantly be property of Aperture Science. Each kit comes with one large die cut vinyl decal and two smaller decals and you have a choice of color - black or white. (Cake or lies?) Product Specifications Create your own Aperture Science merchandise Die cut black vinyl decals for fans of Portal & Portal 2 Officially licensed Portal/Portal 2 collectible Kit includes: 1 large (3" x 12") decal 2 small (1.56" x 6.25") decals
Nintendo Wall Graphics
It's a tale as old as time. Boy grows up, completely enamored with a computer-generated Italian plumber. He pumps his college fund, in quarter form, into Donkey Kong. Later, he grows inch-thick calluses on his thumbs playing Super Mario Brothers on the original NES. He suffered through Super Mario Sunshine, and has the entire season of Super Mario Adventures, staring Captain Lou Albano as Mario, on DVD. Finally, he marries a nice girl named Pauline, and has three kids: Shigeru, Luigi, and Diddy. Poor Diddy. What he doesn't have, though, are these awesome vinyl restickable wall-stickers. Featuring Mario and his friends and enemies through his evolution from 15 pixel high sprite to fully 3d-rendered hyperbeing. Do a faithful recreation of your favorite levels, or create your own, using your own space as a template. Now all you need are mushrooms that make you into a giant, and flowers that let you throw fireballs.
Melting Clock
When Salvador Dali created his masterpiece The Persistence of Memory some suggested he was making some kind of statement regarding Einstein's newly published treatise on Special Relativity - that the melted clocks represented a surrealist meditation on our notions of a fixed cosmic order. In fact, Dali just thought the melted clocks looked like slabs of camembert left out in the sun too long. The truth is, time is an illusion - lunchtime, doubly so. We perceive time as a sequence of events in a progressive chain of cause and effect. Were we to lose our perspective of cause and effect, time would lose meaning entirely, and it would seem to sag and melt like soft cheese - metaphorically speaking, of course. So when performing truly boring tasks, for example: work, we require time pieces to remind us that the passage of time persists without us even being aware of them. Clocks on the walls, in our computers, or in digital watches (which is a pretty neat idea). They show us the passage of time, but they don't show us the ooey-gooey consistency of time that has stretched out into something barely recognizable. This clock, however, succeeds where those others fail. Here we can accurately see the passage of time whilst being reminded that time drips and flows like fatty rotten milk. Don't worry, though - even if the clock is stretched and pulled like taffy, it still tells accurate time... unless you're spiraling towards the event horizon of a black hole, or traveling at relativistic speeds where time tends to slow and stretch. Hmm... maybe Dali was thinking about special relativity after all?
Pizza Pi Cutter
Ah, Pi. For such an irrational number, you sure are kind. You help us do all sorts of things - like figure out the area and circumference of our pizza. And now, with the power of future technologies and combining things with other things, you will also be able to cut our pizza into pieces. You will put the "Pi" back in pizza and pieces. You will become the Pizza Pi Cutter! Each Pizza Pi Cutter is two stainless steel blades of cutting power - all harnessed by a space-age plastic Pi. Hold it in your hand and feel the energy ripple through you. We capitalize the word Pi because we revere it as a powerful entity. We use the Pizza Pi Cutter because we like our pizza cut by mathematical symbols. We eat pizza because . . . well, because we're hungry. Pizza Pi Cutter Cut your pizza with math! Lime is a fancy way of saying green. Plastic Pi with two stainless steel blades. Handwash only - not dishwasher safe. Dimensions: approx. 4.5" x 4.75".
Cylon Evolution Poster
In the beginning, there were Toasters. And they were good. They lightly browned bread making it extra delicious. Then, the One True God said, "Let there be Serge," and a small one-wheeled robot butler was made. It too was good. He, then, moved across the surface of the waters, and the Centurion was born, but he was kinda awkward and clunky. So, he said, "Let there be a far more awesome Centurion, that he may kick lots of butt," and butts were verily kicked. Ultimately, the One True God pulled a metal hunk of i-beam from the torso-chassis of the Centurion and, using it, the Number 6 skinjob was born, and she was an abomination unto mankind, though very hot. Originally designed to serve man, the Cylons decided instead to kill him. Kill... Serve... We can see how they were confused. Regardless, they rebelled and they evolved. What's more, they had a plan. Depicted in this high-quality poster are the original designs for the Cylon's predecessors, done as a parody of the original Rudy Zallinger drawing.
Aperture Science Mug
Welcome to Aperture Laboratories, A Trusted Friend in Science! One of the many perks of working here is that Aperture provides all the human fuel you can drink. Human fuel, or "coffee" as it is often called, is available in break rooms throughout the lab. A quality human fuel receptacle can be acquired through the monkeys at ThinkGeek. Please do not use your Aperture Science Mug outside of designated areas, and please do not utilize your Aperture Science Mugs to ingest unsafe liquids or neurotoxins. Maybe you'll find someone else to give you coffee... maybe Black Mesa? (That was a joke, ha ha, FAT CHANCE!) Anyway, this coffee is great, so delicious and hot. But look at me still talking when there's science to do...
Ninja Star Push Pins
There are many nonverbal signs you can use to let those in your office know how you feel about them. You can leave a sticky note saying "Good Job" on their monitor. You can put laxatives in their coffee. Or, you can do as the ninjas done did: stick an angry note on their cubicle wall with throwing stars. Of course not real throwing stars, but Ninja Star Push Pins. Each set will bring you three Ninja Stars of posting doom. Each star has one corner cut off and replaced with two push pins, so when they are embedded in the wall (or cork board or foam board) they look like they were thrown with great force. And apart from looking cool in the wall, the stories of how the Ninja Star Push Pins got there in the first place will quickly become the things of office legend - because nothing adds emphasis to a sign or note like a Ninja Star.
Winestein Beer and Wine Glass
You've probably been to that party. The one where it ends up being not quite the party you were expecting? You're all geared up for a evening full of chips and dip, pizza, laughs and loud music, and tall frosty beers. Instead, you show up and there's canapé, light jazz, and pinot grigio. Not that there's anything wrong with a chill time with friends, but not when you were expecting brews and bros. Hedge your bets like a pro - bring along a beer stein with a built-in wineglass! Too confusing? Lemme 'splain. This beer stein is double-walled, but instead of the inner-wall of glass being shaped like the outside stein, it's actually shaped like a wineglass. Now it looks like you're kinda sorta drinking a glass of wine.

With that kind of versatility, who cares what kind of party you're going to? You're prepared in any eventuality - that is until the hostess starts to break out the Jager. Now it's a party! Features Beer mug with embedded inner wine glass brings tasteful humor to any party Double-walled glass construction keeps beverages cool Broad, sturdy base prevents sloshes and spills; oversized handle Arrives handsomely boxed for gifting or storage; hand wash between uses Measures approximately 3-1/2 by 5 by 6 inches

To that end, this PVC shower curtain is sure to remind you of such travels, that time when the innkeeper surprised your girlfriend in the shower, and the horrible bloody aftermath.

Caffeine Molecule Stainless Travel Mug
These sophisticated stainless steel, travel style, mugs have our famous Caffeine molecule printed in black on the front. You must be thinking to yourselves right now 'your Caffeine molecule...'? Yep. Our Caffeine molecule. Here at ThinkGeek, we like to pretend we invented all the elements and hence we have first dibs on claiming ownership of any and all molecules derived from the use of our elements. I think Jen whipped up Carbon while playing around with a Rail Gun in Quake. And Jon just happened upon Nitrogen while abstracting some new Perl algorithms he was playing with while it was both raining and hailing outside. Features of this fine stainless mug include... 16 Ounce Capacity! Dual-wall insulation Black Drink-Thru lid Fits in the majority of automobile Drink cup holders Get one now!
Bolt Interactive Pet Laser Toy
Cats are fond of many things. Climbing inside of boxes, shredding paper and fabric, suddenly darting across a room for no apparent reason, and appearing aloof. They also love to chase string, ribbons and especially laser beam dots. We can't imagine that there's any evolutionary reason for this - perhaps it was an ancient race of aliens visiting the Earth that gave felines an affinity for chasing laser beams. Who knows? But if this is the case, they probably had something very similar to the Bolt Interactive Pet Laser Toy. This little device a sophisticated piece of feline-laser technology that your cat will love. It dances a laser beam dot around the floor for your cat to chase but never catch. We suppose you could call it the lazy solution to playing with your cat, but we happen to think it's just more advanced than manually shining a laser around the room.
