April First Funnies Round up

ThinkGeek, purveyors of the very finest in Nerdy Necessities is up to its old hijinks yet again. Once a year they have us giggling or coveting some fictional toy. This year's ruse will hopefully take our mind off of our conficker worries. They have a USB Pet Rock listed for sale today. It would be a perfect gift for your neo-luddite eco-friendly hippie friends as it has the lowest possible carbon footprint with Zero watt power consumption. Everyone can get in on the fun here since it seems to be compatible with all operating systems. A must have for anyone who shares living space with someone with a tamagotchi. Their other (sadly) fictional device is the Buzzword detecting shock bracelet. This little human shock collar will deliver a jolt any time it catches you using a buzzword or anything else via a USB synchronized software. This should train you to keep you from using the overused terms this year like "low hanging fruit" and "synergy". If these were real my boss would have one in his mailbox tomorrow. Don't miss their doctored-up logo too.

Woot is also getting into the fun offering an optional $1 million USD (approx. 312 Euro or ¥2,000 at today's USD exchange rate ) shipping via their CEO in an AH-64 Apache gunship. Be sure to look around today their will certainly be others popping up for grins, that is if your machine hasn't been botnetted by conficker.
