Smoking Elephant Cigarette Dispenser

post from Ubergizmo on 24 April 2007 11:23:29 PM. © Ubergizmo

The Smoking Elephant Cigarette Dispenser offers an interesting way of storing and dispensing your nicotine fix. I don't suppose the idea of taking a cigarette dispensed from an elephant's anus will get anyone to stop smoking, but at least it offers a hearty laugh whenever anybody lays eyes on it, and that has always been prescribed as the best medicine no matter the ailment. The Smoking Elephant Cigarette Dispenser can hold up to two dozen cigarettes at any one time - just push down its trunk and you're ready to pull a fresh stick. This nifty device retails for $9.99 and does not include juvenile, anal jokes.

Kenwood KSC-SW10 active subwoofer

The Kenwood KSC-SW10 active subwoofer is compatible with virtually any type of car radio thanks to its compatibility with line level or speaker level. Japanese will receive this subwoofer from mid-May onwards for approximately $185.

Shinshoku watch gets cryptic

Shinshoku watch gets cryptic

TokyoFlash has introduced yet another confusing timepiece in the form of the Shinshoku watch that requires at least a PhD to decipher. I'm exaggerating, but when you compare it with our everyday analog and digital watches, reading it can be a pain. You can't just tell the time on the spot - something a watch is supposed to do, but instead have to stand there looking like a dork as you crack your brain on deciphering the information. The Shinshoku animates the current time using a series of LEDs that are arranged in a honeycomb-like grid. The Shinshoku comes with a $116 price tag, PhD not included.

Sony NAC-HD1 home audio system

Sony NAC-HD1 home audio system

The Sony NAC-HD1 is a new breed of home audio systems that plays back uncompressed digital audio with panache, thanks to its 250GB hard drive that offers ample space for your digital music collection. That space is large enough to hold approximately 380 full HiFi albums. The NAC-HD1 can encode audio from a CD or DVD in an uncompressed linear PCM format on-the-fly, and additional features include a 4.3" color display, a one-touch button for file transfer to a connected portable audio player, and a copy of Gracenote's CDDB album database. You have the option of throwing in a WiFi adapter to keep the information in the database current. Too bad it takes around an hour to copy a CD over to the hard drive without any compression. The NAC-HD1 will hit Japan this May 21st for approximately $890.

Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver

The Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver is a pretty nifty pen as it comes with sounds based on the series as well as an UV light. What's the use of the UV light, you ask? The answer is pretty simple yet devious - the Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver also comes with an UV ink pen nib where you can write your secret plans to take over the world, only to read it with the UV light later. Each $30 purchase comes with a 30-page Dr. Who notepad. I suppose football coaches would do well to get one of these so the opposing team can't really find out what kind of plays their opponents are having.

Only those who are holding on to their pride as age catches up with them, the Insight Watch retails for $39.95.
