Dum dum dum! Bright Blinds (concept posted back in ‘07 , now a real product) are blinds with a light behind them designed to look like a window. But when you yank the cord to actually see out the window, PRESTO! there isn’t one. Nope, you’re just staring at the hole you punched in the wall after dying in a video game and decided to cover with fake blinds instead of patching up. God you depress me . No word on price, but twirling the little twirly stick does dim & brighten the light, so let’s assume in the thousands.

Fake Blinds Do Hide Light, BUT NO WINDOW

Finally, a sport manly enough for yours truly. Sorry guys, but I’m officially retiring from lava diving and shark rodeo. Now, which one of you handsome gents wants the honor of receiving my first highly-toxic pummeling? You in the front row — scrawny guy with the eyepatch. In the wheelchair. BRING IT, I WILL DESTROY YOU! Hit the jump for a bunch more shots, moderately graphic due to blood.

Want your own miniature bat signal ? Now’s your chance — a limited edition of 500 are being sold for $260 from Entertainment Earth . The miniature replica Bat-Signal features a sturdy metal construction and stands about 12-inches tall. It’s got a built-in cooling fan and can be swiveled and tilted to give you the best shot at making contact with the Dark Knight. Of course, since the light can only project the Bat symbol about 16-feet, don’t expect him to show, unless he happens to live in your bedroom closet. Now I’m not saying you should cut a bat out of black contact paper and slap it on a pre-existing lamp, but, I mean, recession. $4 bat signal: 1, $260 bat signal: 3. Wait a minute — 3? Damn you, style points! desktop bat-signal hails bugs not bats [technabob]
