Forget water or Gatorade, a true athlete knows that the best way to stay hydrated is to bring a bottle full of bacon squeezins, pickle brine or robot monkey banana juice to the gym. It gives you the energy you need to really achieve that slim and trim figure you always wanted (and all of that puking doesn’t hurt either). A gallery of these unique stainless steel bottles is available after the break.
It appears that the Dancing Robot has hit the big time—hiring a backup crew consisting of a cricket player, barbecue lover, cowboy, rapper, alien and a gym rat.

If there ever was a household gadget I worried about coming alive to enslave it’s human oppressors, this creepy robot LED torch/nightlight would be it.

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.
