Ah, construction zones – at the best of times they can make you late for things that you don’t really want to be on time for (work) and give you a reasonable excuse for your tardiness. Usually though, they just suck, which makes me wonder why anyone would want to make their dinner table look like a road construction zone.

Price: about $9.14 [Nerd Approved]

S. Magor http://www.uberreview.com/?p=13130 useful_towelThe trouble with most kitchen towels is that they are just not good at multi-tasking (aside from the fact that they can be used to wipe dishes and double as a pot-holder when required). This one does all that and features a bunch of handy conversions and even a few conversions that you probably don’t need.

There are plenty of novelty toilet seats that allow a touch of flair into the bathroom, but the Jammin’ Johns look a little more classy than the vast majority of alternatives; classy enough in fact that they have allegedly made their way into the homes of the likes of Dolly Parton and Steven Spielberg.

Price: $169-179 [Book of Joe]

Those guilty of emaciating their bodies by whiling away months of life in World of Warcraft are probably going to have a little trouble with the heft of this 4 lb tankard, especially if it is filled to its two-liter capacity (which will add another 4.5lbs to the overall weight).

Price: About $50 (available from January 2010) [Nerd Approved]
