This has got to be the coolest kit out there, make your own fully functioning roller coaster, I don’t know what father would not want one of these for upcoming fathers day (if my daughters reading this then please start saving)

You can build you own roller coaster for $159.99 from Think Geek. To get a better idea of how cool it is check out the video after the jump

Japanese Burger King offers customers a “musical shower”

Just when you thought the Aquanatass was the strangest appendage for the shower, you need to hear about the musical shower.

This isn’t about getting in the bathroom and being bathed with music. This is something completely non-aqua related, and it is only located at a Japanese Burger King.

See that transparent thing over the table? This is designed to deliver music to the person at the table, and designed only to be heard by them. Think of it as a Get Smart cone of silence, but I’m not certain if this would work so well either. … Continue Reading

DIY Stargate looks awesome

Are you a huge fan of the Stargate sci-fi series? Apparently, this dad is, which is why he decided to spend some quality time with his son to build up a replica Stargate using nothing but their hands and a whole lot of heart from scratch. There were no blueprints to refer to – only one’s imagination, and the materials required included wood, coat hangers, tubing and styrofoam. To make it all the more realistic, the gate will actually spin through and through, although it won’t transport you to a distant galaxy or universe, while there is absolutely no chance of hostiles coming through your way either.

Hatcams offer hands-free video

Nothing will make your entire family cringe more than you wearing around a Hatcam. Sure, it means all the hands-free videos that you could ever desire, but you’ll still look like a dork. Now there are certain cases where some things prove more important than looking like a sane human being. Like if no one ever believes you when you say how big the fish was that you almost caught, now you can have proof.

These hats come in blaze orange, khaki, camo, forest green and pink. The design was actually created by Randy Peterson who loves hunting and fishing. Although this was made for the outdoorsy types, I’m sure you could find other uses for it. These Hatcams can be purchased alone or with the Flip MiniHD Camcorder. The hat alone is $34.99 and the full kit is priced at $204.99.

Chatimals keeps the resident chatterbox quiet

Chatimals could very well be the next best thing your household could have if your little one seems to be the chatterbox in the family. You will be able to choose from a dinky looking hamster or a meerkat friend depending on your taste, where it is smart enough to retain whatever you say to it, repeating incessantly in a slightly patronizing voice.

Want them to speak up? Just give their tiny paws a gentle squeeze and you’re good to go, where anything they hear will be spoken back to you. Of course, it might just keep your toddler who is now learning to speak quiet, but that remains to be seen as he/she might just get frustrated at the Chatimal in question, ripping out an arm or a leg in desperation to be the resident top dog where the chatterbox category is concerned. You can choose from either grey, beige or ginger shades for the hamster, while the meerkat has only one color – brown. At £19.99 each, they’re certainly worth checking out if you want to purchase a toy for your little one.
