xmini-weFor those of you out there who absolutely cannot live without music, and need to have some sort of tunes playing in the background, be it over a pair of headphones or via a speaker, then it might do you some good to actually invest in a decent portable speaker One that would fit in line with your hectic traveling lifestyle, all the while delivering audio quality that is above the par, surprising even naysayers and the like. The $39.99 X-Mini WE might not look like much at first glance, but that would be making the mistake of judging the proverbial book by its cover.

Have Your Dog Bring You These K-9 Slippers

These K-9 slippers may be the best slippers ever. They look just like the 4th Doctor’s famous robotic pet dog and all of the details are just right. They will keep your feet warm and toasty when in your TARDIS.

Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS lacks the necessary sound effects

rc-flying-tardisIt’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s the $59.99 Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS! Doctor Who fans will definitely be able to identify with this remote controlled toy, especially when it comes in the form factor of the beloved TARDIS. In fact, this has been touted to be the world’s smallest flying TARDIS, and who am I to argue against that particular claim? Apart from that, this also happens to be an officially licensed Doctor Who merchandise, so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to being accused of purchasing a bootleg product.

There is one major drawback, however, as you would need to provide the *vworp vworp* noises yourself. Yes sir, this tiny 3” TARDIS is more than capable of sneaking its way around your home or office, where you navigate it carefully using an IR controller. It is capable of managing vertical takeoffs and landings, so there is no need to clear the meeting room table as a runway. The law of diminishing returns apply here though, as the Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS will require 30 minutes of charging time in exchange for approximately 6 minutes of continuous play time.

Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Flying Disc Defies Laws of Physics

Forget Frisbee. That is so last century. What you need in a flying disc is a starship. Like the U.S.S. Enterprise. That’s totally doable right? Hell yes. ThinkGeek has this Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Flying Disc that is totally aerodynamic despite the Enterprise body and those nacelles being attached to the saucer section.

Seemingly defying physics, you just throw the saucer section and the rest of the ship follows. Then your friend catches it. Sadly, it is not warp capable.

Ok fine. April Fools! But you know, it wouldn’t take much to make this a reality. I hope you ThinkGeek guys are working on this one for real. Around the clock please. I would like a flying Klingon Bird of Prey that I can throw and simulate battles with.

NERF Nuke is the BFG of the NERF world

nerf-nukeYou know what they say, a wounded animal who is cornered as its most dangerous, and some folks out there are willing to cut off the nose to spite the face. When you have run out of options in a NERF fight, there is still hope to take down everyone else around you – regardless of whether they are friends or allies, and you can do so with the $99.99 NERF Nuke which will definitely be regarded as the BFG of the NERF world the next time you sit around a campfire and regale one another with war stories of your NERF exploits.

The NERF Nuke will be able to deliver what we like to call “mutually-assured NERF destruction”, as this functions as the NERF weapon to end all NERF wars. In fact, the NERF Nuke works this way – it will be able to shoot 80 NERF darts in every direction, where you can opt to hold it up in the air as a “grenade”, throw it up in the general direction of the enemy, or to make use of the included high-powered launcher, the choice is yours. These NERF darts will be sent speeding all over the place at a range of up to 30 feet, now how about that? Happy April Fool’s!

Mr. Beard Beard Machine lets you crank out a beard of your choice

mrbeardIt sucks when the rest of your mates have started to grow bodily hair all over the place, and they have even begun the great adventure of shaving and the like, while you still wonder how come your hormones are still locked within the stables, as your previous attempts in growing a manly beard failed – miserably. Fret not – considering how we tend to live in a time where everything is as instant as possible, how about getting an instant beard? This is what the $149.99 Mr. Beard Beard Machine is all about, taking a page out from those Nespresso machines and their coffee pods.

Instead of popping in a coffee pod to get your favorite fix of caffeine, the Mr. Beard Beard Machine would require you to pick and “grow” your favorite facial hair style, thanks to a patented B-Cup system that is not only quick but easy to use. There are more than 200 styles in multiple hair colors to choose from, and each purchase would arrive with a 5-Style Sampler Pack to help you get started right out of the box. Don’t you just love April Fool’s?

Rosetta Stone Klingon Edition: ‘Sup Qoh?

ThinkGeek came prepared for April Fools’ Day this year, with a number of fake items that are silly but not too outrageous that they can’t ever exist. A cynic would say that they’re using the holiday to drive interest up in products that they already plan on making. But one of their joke items doesn’t need to be real, because such is the demand for it that it actually already exists, though not in this exact form. I’m talking about the Rosetta Stone: Klingon edition.

They even had Worf himself pitch in on the joke:

The thing is, if you really want to learn Klingon, you already have a variety of educational books and software to choose from. Because that’s the kind of world we live in. Our civilization is so advanced we get to have the punchline before the setup.

Why Use the Fine China When You Have These Awesome Planetary Plates?

Why Use the Fine China When You Have These Awesome Planetary Plates?

Back when Pluto had some status in our solar system, a handy way to remember the names of the planets was the ‘My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas’ mnemonic, where the first letter of each word represented each celestial orb. But it’s just confusing now that Pluto’s gone, so maybe a set of planet-themed plates might be a better learning tool.
