Teach your Kids the Important Stuff with Art Lebdev’s Matryoshkus

Art Lebdev

Matryoshkus, or nesting dolls as they are often known make some pretty cool toys for small children. The trouble is that they are not educational enough. Art Lebdev studios has fixed that problem and created a set of Matryoshkus that teach data block size terms, from the smallest bit up to a terabyte.

I know what you are thinking, “What, no petabyte?” By the time my boy is all grown up, you can be sure that HDD sizes will be getting up there.

Price: $35.56

Americans love lists and we love making them (even more to come next year). The video below explains why.

Strange Stuff You Can Buy From Amazon That You Probably Didn’t Know About

When it comes to buying strange stuff online most people think of eBay, but since Amazon is the world’s largest online store and retailers all want a piece of the action, it too has some fine rare junk stuff sitting in the corner of warehouses.

The list below is just a small collection of some of the strange stuff you can find at Amazon. What makes the majority of these items extra special is the priceless reviews that people have submitted. A small sample of these reviews are included for your reading pleasure with even more on the product pages. My question to you is this. Do you think you can write a funnier review for these products? Enter our write a fake funny review contest to win a $100 Amazon gift certificate. Contest details are at the bottom of the page.

Relaxman Relaxation Capsule

I ordered one of these assuming, obviously, that in the vein of similarly named “-man” products, portability would be its chief component. Walkman, Discman, etc, all distinguish themselves from other identical products by the fact that they are portable and can be carried and used anywhere. I felt some suspicion when the crate arrived in a semi truck and required two men and a hydraulic liftgate to unload it on the patio next to my Fuller dome. Sure enough, when I finished bagging up the last of the 20 cubic yards of foam packing peanuts and took the time to closely examine the machine it was clear it would not easily clip to my belt or swing suspended around my neck by a lanyard. What a disappointment! I’m often struck by the urge for complete relaxation when traveling, commuting to work, or competing in the Extreme Fighting championship. Now that sweet escape from the brutal trials of life will have to wait until I’ve landed my autogyro in the backyard and hunkered down in this oversized coffin: the deceptively named “Relaxman”.

Price:$39,000

Uranium Ore

My son wanted Play Doh for his birthday but unfortunately Toys ‘R’ Us was sold out of it. I figured this would be the next best thing. He absolutely LOVES it and told me he wishes he had a third hand because its so much fun! I told him maybe his kids would have better luck. A dozen more cans are on their way! Thanks Amazon.com!

Price: $22.95

Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank

tankcrusier.jpg

I’ll admit it. Shopping for a personal tank can be a bit daunting. Many times in the past I’ve purchased overpriced, so-called “battle tanks”, then driven them into battle only to be wrecked in ten minutes by the first blow off of some insurgents home-made morter.

But not this baby, no way.

This tank R-O-C-K-S! Literally- the 400-watt sound-system keeps me rockin like a crazy man as I’m dishing out justice commando style. Wow. I just can’t say enough. And the kids love it, too- imagine the look of terror in the eyes of the enemy as I’m dropping off my kid’s team to their soccer game. Shock and awe, my friends, SHOCK AND AWE!

I had NAO install the optional GPS-guided white phosphorus missile system, and talk about *SWEET*! Burn baby burn!!!

Oh, it also has plenty of room for groceries, and if you need to like move a loveseat or something it’ll fit if you use a little bungee cord.

The only real negative with this tank is that it shows up on radar a little more than I like (although there is a polyresin graphite stealth model available). Also, the included spare isn’t full size.

Overall, a great tank.

Price: $20,000

Dagobert Wooden Toilet Throne

dagobertwoodentoiletthrone.jpg

I was about to buy a gold plated toilet before I saw this. Now that the good old gold toilet is inferior I did not want my bottom to have an inferiority complex. Now My bottom and I are complete and I feel satisfied going to the bathroom knowing that It will take me over a lifetime to pay of the debt from buying this.

Price: $12,000
