Though there are most certainly plenty of drawbacks, one of the advantages of living in a materialistic, well to do society is that there is an incredible abundance of useless nonsense.  What?  How is that a benefit?  Well to most people it isnt.  But thankfully  useless nonsense forms a pillar of my existence.

And with that stellar intro, I give you... the two things I must have in my office, today edition.



Thats right ladies and gentlemen.  A USB Wireless nerf rocket battery.  And of course, if you don't like to skimp on the swank, you can upgrade to the one with a built in webcam. I can't tell you how many times a day I need to defend my workspace from potential assailants.  Or better still, how many times a day I try to test the patience of my office mates.  The best part about this product?  It can serve both needs equally. Though personally, I don't think I'd be completely content until it came with a warning claxon.

Now I know what you're thinking.  Thats the awesomest thing I've ever seen.  And you are almost right.  I say almost because...

han_solo_desk.jpg. ..THIS is the awesomest thing you've ever seen.  If you are a Star Wars fan, this sweetness needs no explanation.  If you are not a Star Wars fan, just imagine the managerial power a desk like this has!  Nothing says "get back to work" like meeting with your employees over a human body frozen in carbonite!  It even has that authentic Cloud City industrial lighting built in, to set that all important "oh crap Darth Vader is going to kill me" mood.  

Simply enfuego.
