Fellow Vermicious Knids!
We know that you know March 14th is fast approaching. We expect that
you know March 14th is internationally recognized as Pi day and also
the birthday of the dude after which the chemical element ninety-nine
was named - the one with the hair (not the element, the dude). We fear
you know not, however, that March 14th is also the 14-year anniversary
of the Linux kernel version 1.0.0. Mere coincidence? We have no clue.
We just sit here minding our own business, scouring the planet for
things we hope you will enjoy, then we parade them in front of you not
unlike this...
###### << Featured Item << Mana Potions Cure What Ails Ya !!
###########################################################
** Mana Energy Potion - An immense power up in a tiny bottle **
Everyone knows Mana gives you a big magic boost. Before now, that boost
has been limited to virtual worlds and role playing games. But after
casting a level 39 Spell of Epic Summoning, we finally have some Mana
for realz. Each tiny 1.35oz potion bottle has as much kick as two 8oz
energy drinks. Yeah, you read that right: one shot will keep you alert
and ready to battle anything life or the afterlife can throw at you
(and it's dang tasty, too). Undead rebellion? Chug some Mana. Invading
Horde? Chug some Mana. All night game-a-thon? Chug some Mana. Extreme
coding fracas? Chug some Mana. Bladder overflowing? Well...go pee. And
then, chug some MANA!
Depleted magic points, journeyers? For mere gold pieces...

###########################################################
** Halo 3 Full-Size Plasma Weapons - Laser Tag meets Halo 3 **
One of our favorite states of matter is plasma, especially when it is
stored in a battery and discharged through a weapon of alien origin.
Now take that plasma weapon and turn it into a laser tag gun with
separate shield generator unit, overheating capability, game accurate
lights and sounds, and force feedback with each shot fired, and you
have these unbelievable Halo 3 Plasma Weapons. They feel like you
reached into the game and pulled them out right out of Master Chief's
hands. So get them fast, before ol' MC wises up and comes looking for
his guns. We won't rat you out.

** A Baker's Dozen of New Shirts **
You read that right. Thirteen new shirts. And you know what that means:
almost two whole additional weeks without laundry. We've gathered
shirts from some of our (and we hope your) favorite pop culture
phenomena: Mario, Heroes, Batman, ThunderCats, Zelda, Halo, Princess
Bride, Doctor Who, and the Family Guy / Star Wars mashup. You may have
noticed we've also added a Pop Culture category to the t-shirt
navigation, just for this sort of thing.

** Millipod Camera Wrap and Mini Tripod **
Your camera is your friend and it goes along with you on adventures to
capture the funny, exciting, unusual and wonderful moments that you
want to remember. Unfortunately, it also captures dents, scratches,
nicks and other battle scars. This camera case attaches easily to the
tripod socket on the bottom of your camera and wraps around to protect
your digital pal. The camera wrap opens very quickly and also features
a small built-in folding tripod for getting those timer or steady shots.

** Mini-Kaoss Touchpad Effects Processor - Dance Dance Revolution **
You may be familiar with the amazing pocket-sized Kaossilator Touchpad
Synthesizer designed by Korg Japan. Now Korg brings it's revolutionary
touchpad style interface to the Mini-Kaoss Touchpad Effects Processor.
The Mini-Kaoss acts as if you took several hundred different guitar
effects pedals and crammed them into one device. Give it any audio
input like your iPod or CD player and run your fingers across the
touchpad as the Mini-Kaoss pad transforms your music with amazing
effects. Tap the BPM key in time to your music and the Mini-Kaoss
learns the beat of the song and syncs the effects appropriately. With
100 different amazing sounding effects ranging from pitch changers, to
flangers to reverb and delays... soon you'll be opening your own
discotheque at your desk.

** Tengu happy fun face man sings pleasant good to you! Let's Joyous **
The Japanese philosophy for gadget design is to design the product
first, and create the need second. One only has to look at Japan's
fiber and urine-analysis toilets to know the truth of that axiom.
Tengu's practicality may be questionable, but his entertainment value
is undeniable! USB powered, he sits on your desk, and listens to your
music. He loves to perform! Watch him lip-synch to your favorite hits!
The more he performs, the happier he is. Choose from seven entertaining
LED faces designed to fit any mood.

** 62" TV Mounted Right on Your Face **
You know you want one, but you've been waiting, haven't you? To be able
to watch TV, privately, on a 62" bigscreen a mere 9 virtual feet in
front of your peepers has been a dream of the average geek since the
day we started to bang the rocks together. These video goggles have 4
times the resolution of the average video eyewear, and the design has
been retooled for a better fit and more comfort - particularly for
folks who wear glasses. Up to 6 hours rechargeable battery life lets
you watch Empire on the train, Serenity in the bathroom, or Blade
Runner in bed, so go put some TV on your face.

** The Latest Addition To Desktop Détente **
You were first in your office to get a USB missile launcher. Then,
Skippy, that less than intelligent analyst down the hall, got one. You
one-upped him with the longer-range rocket launcher. Soon after, he
upgraded, too. It's a constant battle of attrition - brinksmanship that
occasionally tips the scale. Now, engineers at ThinkGeek's Top Secret
Bunker in Alamogordo have added wireless technology to our venerable
launch system adding 15 devastating feet to your missile-launcher's
total range. Get him before he gets you!

** Space Warp Desktop - Glowing Futuristic Desk-Based Enjoyment **
You know those desk-based toys of yore where five balls hang from
strings and clink back and forth in different patterns? Well slap that
old desk gadget in a Delorean at 88 Mph and you'll get the futuristic
Space Warp Desktop. Imported from Japan, this mesmerizing desk toy
features both chromed ball bearings and glowing orbs perpetually
rotating on a clear track. Flip a switch on the back to choose which
type of balls you prefer, while the ones you don't want are
automatically sorted and stored in the base. It's Japanese efficiency
at its finest served up for your desk-based enjoyment.

** 5.1 Surround Digital Sound Recording in your Pocket **
Expanding on the success of the excellent H4 diminutive live audio
recorder Samson audio is now offering the smaller and more affordable
H2 Digital Audio Recorder. The H2 forgoes the XLR style mic inputs of
the H4 and instead adds four built in microphones for 360 degree sound
recording allowing you to capture audio in 5.1 surround sound. The
pocket-size of the H2 is perfect for recording live music performances
directly as WAV (up to 96kHz/24-bit resolution) or MP3 (up to 320 kbps)
files. Everything is stored on removable SD cards and a 4GB card can
get you up to a whopping 138 hours of CD quality MP3 recording.

** Delightful Japanese Goodies Scramble Panic Rally **
We've assembled a diverse assortment of nifty Japanese tidbits for your
virtual perusal. Begin with the Super Mario Bros. Bath Bombs... we
don't know what they're made of, but drop them in your bathtub as they
fizz away depositing a tiny mario character in your bathwater as a
reward. After you've cleaned up Mario-style, enjoy the gaggle of
rotating Jack and friends projected on your ceiling by the Nightmare
Before Xmas Mobile Light while you cuddle up in bed with an adorable
Legend of Zelda Plush Link doll. Nihon no sugoii de yo! Do
Itashimashite!

** Keeps your tummy happy - the iStraw Emergency Water Filter **
There will be times when you'll be forced to leave your comfy lair and
travel to parts unfamiliar. We know that it can be a bit mentally
unsettling to be torn away from your daily gaming and coding routine
for a business trip to some far away land. It can also be physically
unsettling, too. The ice and water in other countries can really throw
you for a loop. The iStraw Emergency Water Filter can help. It is a
polycarbonate straw fitted with a special membrane, which uses micro-
filtration technology to clean your water, reducing up to 99.99999% of
all waterborne bacteria.

** Boba Fett Helmet and Cyclops Visor - What the Pros wear **
The best Do-It-Yourselfers out there know that you should always spend
a little extra to get the best safety gear. So, we're bringing you two
of the best protective products available. Got lasers shooting out of
your eyes? Then contain them with the Cyclops Visor - accurately
replicated from the X-Men movies. Want everyone to still think you are
awesome and not just a clone like everyone else? The cover your prequel
shame with a limited edition Boba Fett Helmet - painstakingly crafted
based on an original screen-worn helmet. Then you'll be a cult figure
all over again.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereisit.cgi?t=bobaclops+_x_&cpg=68T
** Power Popper Burp Gun - Balls of power! **
Burp guns have been around for the longest time - ever since a caveman
choked and burped up some Sabertooth Tiger jerky on his friends. It's
time, however, to take burp guns to the next level. The Power Popper is
the most accurate and reliable burp gun ever. It shoots safe (but
hearty) foam balls, and you can get it in either lightning-strike
single barreled or take-no-prisoners double barreled. And we're also
offering a refill kit for even more shooting fun, which comes with a
nice mesh carrying bag. Think about that one a bit, and insert your own
joke here.
