[OT] I've got a great idea!

Very fishy, Zappo
Did you go looking for these, or did they just keep coming up?

cthulhu

cthulhu is a TV remote control that can be taken apart and reassembled in thirty seconds!

Interesting, but not very evil

welverin

It's a fishpond that tracks infra-red and improves blood clotting.

spork

I remember this one from the waning episodes of The New Mission Impossible:

Design #3134519414I

It's a false moustache that scans its user's fingerprints! It helps the medicine go down and plugs into the mains.
