Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of November 9th-15th, 2009:
Reindeer Toilet Seat Cover And Antlers Set: This is what happens to reindeer that don’t make Santa’s team.
Toilet Sound Blocker: Maintains your dignity.
Santa Pants Wine Bottle Holders: Santa has something in his pants for you.
iPhone Decals: Give your phone a serious downgrade.
Burger Sponge: Rub-a-dub-dub, I’m bathing with burgers in the tub.
Created under the direct supervision of AKIRA creator Katsuhiro Otomo, this Kaneda die-cast bike replica measures 6.3″ H x 19.7″ W and features LED illumination on the front and back wheels, headlights, taillights, blinker, and dashboard. It also includes sound effects, adjustable headlights, a front end that can be raised and lowered and a full, workable suspension. Naturally, a model of this caliber will blow up most budgets. Additional images are available after the break.
It looks like EVE serum hypodermic needles throughout the city of Rapture in the game Bioshock, it glows like the serum thanks to LEDs, and it’s even priced similarly to what you would pay at a Circus of Value vending machine—but I wouldn’t go sticking it into your arm thinking that you are going to get any super powers. Maybe a staph infection, but definitely no super powers.
Now that you have decapitated everyone’s favorite Spider-Man, go ahead and cram some LEDs into his eyes and spin his skull for hours on end. Hey, Spider-Man had a dangerous lifestyle—it was only a matter of time before some kid chopped his head off and used it as a top.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of August 17th-23rd, 2009:
KFC Flag: Everyone can salute this flag.

The Ghost Mirror: Gives you a glimpse into old age.
Black Hole Starter Kit: The key to time travel? Two metal balls.
Glowing Toilet Paper: Helps you poop in the dark.
These peel and stick hood ornaments use wind power to illuminate the car logo with LEDs. The light effects even vary with speed. Seriously though, if you are pimping a $50,000 Mercedes with a $5 stick-on trinket, your car should be stolen and used to run you over. Also available in Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda, Renault and Hyundai versions.
All those fireflies you caught as a kid and wasted with your car grill as an adult have apparently had a significant impact on their population worldwide. So much so that Japan had to produce this terrarium just so they could be enjoyed on a regular basis. The bamboo cage comes complete with vegetation and three electric fireflies with LED ass-lighting action. The product measures 12.5cm x 15.5cm x 10cm, and includes 2AA batteries.

These Kirk and Spock bobbleheads are forever trapped mid-teleport thanks to embedded LED lights. Spock is pictured after the break.
Cafepress is offering up a veritable buffet of wacky-skinned Flip Minos / Mino HD camcorders which, I can only assume, are intended to make it easier to capture smiling subjects on video. A few more completely absurd designs involving porn, Bigfoot and testicles are available after the break.
