Another good site to look at, if your into the nerdy stuff (like me)
is www.thinkgeek.com .

These 2 sites are great for buying presents for people who have everything!!, my wife bought me a Spock bathrobe, a door sensor that makes Startrek door opening noises when you walk past it (its now mounted in my Observatory LOL), and a Startrek coffee cup

I saw a Game of Thrones throne on ThinkGeek a month or so back. $30K, I think it was. Made to order. Damn. It looked incredible.

I've spent a little bit of coin with ThinkGeek over the years. My favourite was the map of the Internet. Far out, how things have changed now.

I love the Chocolate planets, especially the description which begins "Ever wondered what Uranus tastes like?" No I haven't!!!

Cheers,

It used to be, necessity was the mother of invention

Now its seems whatever you can think of to get people to waste money on is the incentive for invention

The things on there that I'd could want, I could not afford and the things I could afford, I don't really want or need and would be a waste of money.

That was quick just ordered it on Monday, now I'm $89.99 further away from my G11.
