Potatoes , Octopus, and monkey paws- how geeky!

Time for some ThinkGeek awesomeness.  Today we have a wonderful new desk potato friend who is as sweet as sugar, A long armed monkey who will help you learn to eat and an octopus who hides in your coffee.  We have some oddness today. :)

First up we have the Portal 2 PotatOS Science Kit.  This kit lets you recreate GladOS's famous potato incident from Portal 2.  Now you too can have GladOS keep you company in potato form all day long.  I can't wait to bring this to work with me.  It is perfectly dead on to the game.  GladOS talks and lights up when connected to a potato she has 17 phrases form the game to pep you up during an otherwise boring day.  She does not actually run off the potato, but needs the connection in order to complete the circuit and come to life.  I love this little toy. 

Up next we have Chimpsticks, the beginners chopsticks.  These training chop sticks are a pair of chopsticks with little paws on one end to enlarge the surface area of your eating utensils and a rubber monkey to help keep the chopsticks in the proper position on the other end.  These are well made but DO NOT go in the dishwasher, be aware.  Other then that these Chimpsticks are very useful.  Little Man loves them and before we know it he will be using chopsticks like a local.

Now its time to relax with a hot beverage with some sea life in it.  The octopus surprise mug, is seemingly uncharacteristic mug with a deep dark secret, there is an octopus at the bottom of it.  The mug holds about6 oz.s of liquid and works best with dark or thicker drinks.  Like a dark coffee or one with lots of milk/cream.  This would be great at a dinner party with friends.  I have a few people in mind who would love to see an octopus at the bottom of their coffee cup.  I know I do.  Every time I drink out of it I giggle and look forward to the point in time where the octopus head pokes through the surface.  The mug itself is well constructed, the only drawback is it doesn't hold allot of liquid, but sometimes you have to make some sacrifices in the name of art.

Also ThinkGeek is having their winter sale right now so check that out.  There are so many cool things on their site!
