Styrofoam cup vs deep sea pressure
Wow, check out what happens to a styrofoam cup when simulated to deep sea pressures.
Looks pretty cool doesn’t it…On the surface, at an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch, the cup stands 4 inches tall. As the remotely operated sub descends, the pressure compresses the Styrofoam and the cup shrinks. Below 3,000 feet, under pressure 100 times greater than that at the surface, the cup shrivels to about half of its original size.

Neat ping pong table
This is a great item that would give hours of indoor entertainment for kids of all ages, as you can see this one is for playing table tennis on.

It fits inside the door frame, which is a great space saving idea, when the game is over it can then be put back to its normal use, the door!

Clearly there is going to be an issue for some people, like which room has the green side of the door!

Giant Paperclip Lamp

Now this is the sort of paperclip that you need when you have got a lot of paper work to be getting with.

The lamp is quite neat really it folds flat when not in use, which is great for storage etc, but when you need to put a bit of light on the subject.

Unfortunately this is a prototype model, but it may not be too long before we see these in the stores.

You can go anywhere in this!
Hitting the open road in an RV has taken on a new meaning with this saying with this vehicle. At 42.5 feet long it would take some serious driving too, yet as you can see from the images this is no ordinary vehicle.

Features include a 42″ plasma TV, an In Motion satellite with Direct TV, a trash compactor and a combination washer/dryer.

As the image shows this is also an amphibious vehicle that is powered by a Caterpillar 3126E turbo charged engine and two nineteen inch propellers which are made from bronze. Naturally this is the top of the range vehicle and has everything that you would expect to get in a vehicle that has a starting price of $850,000.

Give this the thumbs up!
USB flash drives come in all shapes and sizes these days, but it would appear that somebody has had a slight accident at the factory and left on their thumbs inside the machine.

Unfortunately there is only a 128 mb of storage capacity and with a price tag of around $89 it would seem to be on the steep side as no matter what way you look at it, it’s still only a small flash drive, it’s a bit of a shame really.

Play pool in the dark
No it may seem like a strange thing to be saying, after all playing pool in the dark would be almost impossible, wouldn’t it? Ordinarily yes, but that is because you have not got a set of these special pool balls which have built in lights.

These balls can be seen in the dark, but unfortunately the rest of the table does not, so you cannot play a proper game of pool without a little bit of light.
These are proper full size balls weighing in at around 5 ¼ inches and have four LED’s built in which are guaranteed for at least 50,000 flashes.
Priced at around $200.

Great shoes for night people
Wear these shoes and you we always be able to be seen in down at the local disco or some other night spot.

The side of the soles glow and flicker with bright colourful lights which show your friends exactly where you are. These are ideas for parties, biking and skateboarding too or maybe just walking off down the street and having a great time.

No prices as of yet.
