Do your best impression of Pete Townshend at the end of a Who concert and kill flies at the same time with this Guitar Fly Swatter. That really makes me wonder if that is what his aggression was directed at in the first place. Could his antics have simply been attempts at killing a slew of insects onstage?

I’m not a big fan of the title Quantum of Solace, but I love what I see from the new trailer. There isn’t much in the way of merchandise on the market just yet, but you could get your hands on a promo mug and pen set if you are willing to pay an outrageous price for it. And, iIf you haven’t seen it already, the latest trailer is available after the break.

With all the chores that Mr. P has to do around the house I am a bit surprised that he has the time and energy to have a pet. Not only does his dog have a head that shines light, but it can also be adjusted vertically to fit wherever you need. He is suitably featureless just like Mr. P himself.

With 9/11 having just passed, New York is on a lot of people’s minds. This chess set makes use of the most famous of New York City’s iconic buildings as players in their game. Of course the Queen is the Statue of Liberty. And most amusingly those little annoying pawns are the crazy NY cabs we all know and love.

Yesterday I brought you a 9- foot tall, 17-foot long Brachiosaurus sculpture that cost a hefty $4000. Today I found a robot dinosaur that eats that tree-hugging Brachiosaurus for breakfast. This monster T-Rex skeleton stands 13 feet tall, 25 feet long and rests on a 4-foot museum stand (optional). It also features 6 lifelike movements and an Earth-shattering roar. But you really have to see it to believe it. Hit the video after the jump to see what kind of prop $22,000 buys you.

If you caught the closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, you will agree that the 60 glowing monowheels spinning around the Bird’s Nest stadium were hard to ignore. Monowheel bikes are nothing new of course, but if you want to own the same version used during the ceremony, a website claims to be selling them for $1650. From what I can tell, the specs spot on—but there is no guarantee that what you see is what you get.

Now you can save money at home just like you do with your investing in the stock market. The idea is simple. You put money in this bank and it seems to disappear. However, unlike the stock market, at the end of the day you can supposedly get all of what you deposited back out of this one.

Popcorn Soap: The Irony Abounds

Turnabout is fair play with this popcorn soap. After eating a bucket of popcorn at the movies not only are you broke, your hands have about a pound of greasy butter on them. It would only seem right to use popcorn to clean off the remnants of popcorn.

It may not be quite the same as a real dinosaur, but this 9 foot tall, 17 foot long statue is as close as you are going to get without a time machine. Go ahead—turn your garden into Jurassic Park.
