Finally you get a fill up without emptying your wallet. In fact, quite the opposite. As you deposit change into this bank the needle moves ever closer to full. Start saving now so that when gas prices skyrocket again you have a full bank to fall back on.

Money Erasers, British Style

Not quite as disrespectful to your monetary system as using it as toilet paper, the Money Erasers will let you whip out 20 and 50 pounds and fix mistakes. Money is normally good that way, although this one only works well for pencil mistakes. If you made that mistake in pen you are just SOL. They would probably make a US version but I think they are afraid that the eraser would be worth more than the dollar.

Quagmire Couch Bank – We Have To Pay Him?

Quagmire on a zebra blanket covered couch while wearing a bathrobe seems right in character. You having to give him money seems entirely wrong, however, particularly if you are a female. I believe that in Quagmire’s world the money is normally flowing from him to the women. Until you actually go to remove money from this bank it just seems wrong.

Apparently, bringing us such classics as “I Got The Feelin’, Oh No, No” and “Honey-Drippin’ Times”, has earned Neil Diamond a special place on this ₤50 banknote which is issued from the diamond cutter’s own “Bank of Diamond”. It’s value here in the states: about $1.85.

For those living on Neil’s private island, this means that if you’re in the mood to pick up “The Feel of Neil Diamond” and crank it up on the old Victrola, you can expect to pay about ₤250. For the rest of us, you can probably take your bus fare for the week, pick up the album, and still have enough left over to buy all 7 of these banknotes currently available on eBay.

Vanishing Money Bank

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.

Somewhere between a sock under your bed and and actual bank lies this novel Cup Noodle approach to saving money. It’s actually very fitting when you consider that Cup Noodles has a long-established reputation as a staple food for broke college students.

Happy Dreaming Pillowcase

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.

If you are worried about someone stealing that nice Razor cell phone, throw them off the trail by wrapping it in this nice $100 bill case. Because no thief would be interested in a $100 bill, of course.

And is it just me, or would you spell it Razr? Or is that just nitpicking?

Naughty State Quarters

July 10, 2007

For all of you coin collectors out there, this will probably be the only time you will ever see Bill Clinton on a coin. I think they really captured his essence here.
The parody quarter above is part of a series of coins that depict everything from an alien ( Nevada state coin ) to a [...]
