If you’d like to be entertained while you do your cyber Christmas shopping, This is the catalog for you: American Science & Surplus. Plus, the prices are amazing. One of my favorite items:

Digital Suspension Device

We’re using semantic obfuscation to crowd this plastic finger hook into a scientific category. It really doesn’t cut it as science, but sure has been a popular novelty in our stores. An embedded 1/2″ long wood screw will secure this flesh-colored finger to a rail, the side of a desk, a wall, or the back of a door. It then functions as an amusing hook for towels, robes, coats, tools, or attention. In fact the silly things seem to be beckoning, but we were afraid to call them “come hither hookers” for fear of misinterpretation. When installed, the fingernail, which might look a bit better with a little bright red polish, stands 2″ from the mounting surface. Sold in fours because this importer doesn’t deal in thumbs.
