glass-fish-bowl

Putting some poor fish into this fish bowl would be like you  sleeping in a bed shaped like a human. It is just one step away from those pictures you see of a person watching TV of a person watching TV ad infinitum. You can imagine the fright the little fish experiences as he is lowered into the fish’s mouth.

Beside being a cool glass head, they advertise this as a terrarium as well. All you need to do is to turn it on its side. However, you may feel that dropping almost a grand on a glass head only to put dirt in it is not the best use of your cash in this economy.

There is no fun in being an expert in physics if you can’t screw with people sometimes. This Cup of Tantalus looks a little odd with the question mark shaped protuberance in it, but no one is going to guess what kind of mess it will make. Once you get the glass filled to a certain point the liquid will begin siphoning out of the bottom. The pourer will have no clue what is going on other than knowing there is red wine pouring all over his carpet. If you get any complaints, just tell them you were trying to educate them on a little physics.
