The makers behind the “Boneless Belt” will have you believe that it causes people to lose inches by boosting their metabolism through lifting and separating their fat, making it look like their abdomen has an evenly-spaced covering of tiny breasts.
Does it work? Probably not, the “evidence” that the manufacturers present is questionable at best, including the FLIR image that shows that one’s belly is indeed hotter when it is wrapped in a tight belt. But it is good for a laugh. Check out the Yahoo Store for a few more pictures and a bit of a giggle. [We Interrupt]

I can see this belt being a big hit with paper thin celebs but not so popular with people who are “big boned”. The Weight Belt measures your waist in centimeters and lets the world know you might have a high affinity for Big Mac’s.

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

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

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

The Thanko Charger Bracelet will buy you an extra 28 hours of DS Lite love or 4.5 hours of PSP action; looks of scorn from passers by come as a non-optional extra. You can also plug any of the local (Japanese) cell phones into it for substantially increased talk time. The trouble is that you have to go around everywhere looking like you have a miniature SCUBA weight belt around your wrist. The concept is pretty cool, but you are not going to find me riding public transportation whilst jacked into one of these things. Give me something like this that I can slip into my bag, at least that way I can walk around with my dignity intact.
The Charger Bracelet won’t break the bank. At the present exchange rate (which is worsening daily), you can expect to pay about $45

Have you heard of Ghost Rider? Not the comic book character that was turned into a movie starring Nicolas Cage last year, the other Ghost Rider, Patrik Furstenhoff, Swedish motorcycle stuntman extraordinaire. The Ghost Rider video series features some of the most extreme motorcycle action that you will ever see. In part of the 2002 release, Ghost Rider: the Final Ride, the 70km from Stockholm to Uppsala is covered in 14 minutes 55 seconds. His bike of choice, you guessed it, a Suzuki Hayabusa. The bike used in the videos was heavily modified in order to average a speed of 276 km/h (168 mph) for the entire trip.
To get an idea of the speed and power that is involved; the 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 had an unlimited top speed of 315 km/h. The 2008 model is 1340cc and features 12% higher engine performance from its four stroke, four cylinder, liquid cooled engine. With a dry weight (no fuel) of 220 kg, this is a monster. This is the bike to drive if you want to leave a Ferrari in your rearview. A turbocharged version set the street bike speed record of 411.68km/h. Just remember, at over 300 km/h with no seatbelts, airbags, roll cage or vehicle body to protect you, your body is the crumple zone and inertia is not your friend. If you have the skills and the insurance to handle one of these, you are in for a wild, wild time.
Price: $11999 (about $150,000 cheaper than a Ferrari)
