That Batman symbol will merely be a fond memory in 2 or 3 week's time -- kids that age grow their hair at an alarming rate.

The mullet, on the other hand, will likely be there well into adulthood...

EPIC FAIL!

As if everyone has a 50' x 50' dining room so that they can fit this next to the formal dining table. And such a waste of materials...

And Wes is right -- that picture belongs on the Photoshop atrocities site!

Seems like a lot of work for about 1.5 MB of storage capacity per diskette...

How about designing a spill-resistant keyboard? I've probably destroyed a dozen of them with my morning coffee.

Buckyballs, please!

And I'm only 42!

Man, I'm either getting old or increasingly out-of-touch! Other than Beckham and Snoop (and a passing knowledge of who Noel Gallagher is, though I'd never recognize his face), I have no idea who those people are. Fun commercial, though...

I've always wanted a single punctuation mark to convey the emphatic question. Sure, the "?!?" sequence gets the point across, but that's 3 keystrokes.

Were I to invent a single punctuation mark to infer such a query, perhaps an upside-down "?" would work. (Yes, I know that's a common punctuation mark in several languages, but I usually speak/write in English so it's up for grabs as far as I'm concerned...)

Why would anybody argue with that logic¿

Oh, MAN! I finally knew the answer to one of these infernal "What Is It" posts -- first time in years -- and the second commenter had the correct answer already!

It's an Amish toy that kids roll marbles or small balls down. I gave one to my 15-month-old son for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. It can keep him occupied for MINUTES on end (quite the feat at his age).

Goes to show... sometimes the simplest things are the most interesting and elegant.

@sunnyroberto:

It wasn't Al Gore who championed censorship in music (the PMRC, as it was called), it was his wife, Tipper, and a few other congresscritters' wives and such.

And like everyone else, I found the music very, very disturbing. Anyone know what it is?

MORE FEET!

Cool! They even used what is, in my humble opinion, the greatest pinball table ever created -- The Addams Family! Sometimes geeks can have the best taste...

Cool -- finished it. That was fun!

Visually stunning, but completely impractical for day to day use.

On the other hand, it's the perfect gift for someone you're not fond of...

Interesting fact: According to the music-themed Uncle John's Bathroom Reader I'm currently making my way through, that was the first video ever aired on either VH1 or MTV2 (can't remember which).

It's a tool used by lumberjacks to manipulate/retrieve logs that have been floated down river to the mill's location.

Oh Boy! I'm getting Rush Limbaugh's autograph from my beloved this year.

Time to steal his identity and credit cards. Whee!
