Apparently, the original Pet Rock was severely injured by a car—but Desk Pets knew they could rebuild it to be better, stronger…faster.

Actually, all those bionic implants do is gather power from the sun so it can roll around your desk like an idiot. The more sun it gets, the more it rocks. Check out a video of the “rock” in action after the break.

solar-ninja

This little ninja is said to bring good luck and happiness to the home by harnessing the awesome power of the sun to nod his head like an idot for hours on end. In other words, he agrees with everything you say. Is relaxation ninja a dumbass? Yes! Yes you are!

solar_squirrel

Harnessing the power of the sun, this squirrel glows brightly when the sun goes down. But be warned—he is not of this planet. The Solar squirrel’s powers are great and he knows no mercy. Step on the flowerbed or, worse yet, eyeball his nut and he will unleash a wrath upon you not seen since biblical times.

He doesn’t talk much, but you can tell that this monkey likes to party. Powered by the sun, he will turn your flowerbed into a dance club by alternating between red, green and blue LED colors.

These Lightcup drinking vessels feature a solar or dynamo-powered LED lamp fixed underneath the lid that can be used as a flashlight or a warning signal (white or red light settings) when camping, hiking, etc. It’s an interesting idea, but it would be even more helpful if it included a UV light setting to sanitize nasty river water. The dynamo version is pictured after the break.

The 33 piece Valiant Viking Ship Solar Kit may teach kids about clean, alternative energy sources as it powers its way through the water—but it practically rapes the history books with regard to the design of actual Viking ships.

solar_nodding_monkey

Just put this little monkey man in contact with the sun and he will start nodding away. Ask him “am I attractive?” to boost your self-esteem. Inquire about your future with questions like “will I become rich and famous?” You can even learn a little about his personal life with questions like “you like to throw you poop don’t you?”

Don’t just follow the lead of all your neighbors and buy the traditional outdoor light that is just a metal post with a light on top. Celebrate America and save the environment at the same time with the Statue of Liberty Solar Light. Stand this 4′ light on the corner of your driveway and walkway and feel proud of your country every night when you return. If that isn’t enough reasons to get it, how about the fact that you won’t have to bury an electrical wire to power it?
