    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

    That's cool!

    It's only $25...

      And it makes your boss' decision so much easier when the topic of downsizing comes up...

        Thinkgeek.com has a ton of fun stuff. Some of it's actually useful.

        Gave this to my brother. A notorious oversleeper.

          That's a great serving helper for the dinner table. Saw it here for less than $25. Maybe they have salt and pepper traffic cones.

            That forklift is very cool. I wish I had one. I wonder how much it can lift?

              I just ordered one. Now maybe they make an Abrams M1A1 Tank.

                The same forklift can be ordered from a seller on eBay for $23 shipped.
                instead of $25 + $8 shipping from ThinkGeek. Just do a eBay search for R/C forklift, it's $7.99+14.99 S&H

                Sorry Bruce, just found it.

                Now I can make a bunch of little tiny pallets in my woodshop. In 1/16th scale, a 1x4 becomes 1/16" x 1/4" - sounds like popsicle stick city.

                  that clock idea is pretty neat. i dont think you are going to be running around like the guy, but you will be getting out of bed.

                      The Beer can

                      Was it empty?
                      Does this fork lift have enough power to move and lift a full can of beer?

                      Anyone know?

                        Are you willing to help if it can't?

                        (I imagine it's empty, can't lift a full can, ad says it will lift a "few ounces".)
