Unit Circle (Radian) Wall Clock: A Trig Nerd Timekeeper

What is 90 degrees in radians? The Unit Circle (Radian) Wall clock claims to provide easy answers to questions like this—but make sure to double check. The pop quiz wall clock made similar claims, but commenters were quick to point out that there were minor inaccuracies with the calculations and no actual calculus (despite the title). If you are wondering if everything is correct with this version, don’t look at me. I’m an art and English nerd—how the hell should I know?

Personally, I think squirrels will eat pretty much anything you leave outdoors, whether you want them to or not. But if you want your yard to look more like a farm than the suburban hovel that it is, then get a bunch of these squirrel feeders. Each stalk gives you room to attach four corn cobs that the squirrels can then feed on. At least you won’t need a harvester to clean these up at the end of the year.

Nothing can make for a good nights sleep like some happy dreams. What you really need is a little reminder of what it is that makes you happy as you get ready to sleep. This pillow not only shows you the proper positioning of the head, but also four of the top dream subjects: women, money, beach vacations and cars. Tough to argue with that.

Watching the green gel drip out of this Nose Dispenser is pretty gross. And gross things are what young boys thrive on. So while you may not necessarily appreciate this shower accessory, the young men in the house will love it.

Evolving Darwin Play Set

Even though Darwin did come up with the whole theory of evolution, even he was primordial ooze at one point. This play set illustrates that perfectly. We see his progression: ooze to ape to cro-magnon to caveman to bearded scientist. It all flows so smoothly I don’t see where all the controversy comes from.

Finding yourself a flashlight may not be the most exciting search. Not until you find this Lightsaber with Sound Effects. Every time you turn it on it will sound just like Luke breaking out his own lightsaber. After that you have a blue LED light that is similar to a lightsaber, just with an infinitely long blade. It usually doesn’t take too much to excite the Star Wars fanatics.

It’s hard not to stare, but these desktop goblins are actually quite sensitive about their freakishly large heads. It’s best to just quietly stick your paperclips and coins in their mouth and not eyeball them. An additional version is pictured after the break with a monkey is thrown in for good measure.
