This remote control looks pretty cool. You hold beads in your hand and slightly squeeze them, instead of clicking a remote button.

The Forecasting Unbrella
This umbrella is supposed to predict the weather for you in some innovative way. Sometimes I really don’t know how marketing works. It must be something like that:
“Let’s make an umbrella that can predict the weather. I mean it’s just natural to ask your umbrella if it’s going to rain or not. For example, I always want to ask my underwear if it’s time to wash them. Let’s make that product too and call it the wash-me-already panties.”

The Sauce Dispensing Chopsticks
It’s been a while since we had stupid gadgets in this blog, but you can always trust companies to make them. This time we have sauce dispensing chopsticks, which contain the sauce inside them and work like drippers.

Soundbike: Today’s stupid gadget for bicycles
This gadget is for bicycle riders. You mount it on your bike and the more you pedal, the more it makes laughing sounds. I’m sure it’s a funny thing, but will you buy it?

The Toilet Paper RSS Reader
RSS is a way to consume news from different websites. I use RSS to manage my daily readings of technology, news and blogs. However, even though I do read in the restroom, when I go there I can’t take my RSS updates with me.
That’s why they created the RSStroom Reader, which actually prints your RSS feeds on toilet paper. I wouldn’t buy one of these, but I think it’s pretty cool.

Following my previous alarm clocks roundup, here’s a new design (not commercial yet) for an alarm clock that can fly to make it harder for you to turn it off.

USB Missile Launcher
Now, how cool is that? A USB Missile Launcher. Instead of throwing stuff at coworkers or shooting rubber bands now you can launch actual missiles at them.

The Beerbelly Gadget
The Beerbelly is a so-called gadget, which lets you sneak in beer into places where you are usually not allowed to in a container you put under your shirt and looks… well… like a beer belly. Ah… if only I drank beer.

Cell phone flip opener
So the other day I went shopping in the stupid gadget shop again, this time encountering the cell phone opener. This so called gadget opens flip-type cell phones for you instead of you having to put in the extra effort.
This would have been the #1 stupid gadget of the week, if it wasn’t for the SOM jerk off machine.
