The week before last an Atari 2600 joystick cake made the scene deliciously, and deep down we all thought to ourselves "if only we could eat the Atari 2600 console too." Looks like our wish has been granted...deliciously. Including the two joysticks and some Pac-Man flare, everything on this board is edible, apart from the board itself. Mendy Pound (Ha!) is the pastry master behind this edible delight, and is capable of delivering whatever you want. You can check out more of her cakey creations here on her flickr account.
Space Invaders Undies - Crotch Shot
Here's some funky undies for the boys. These Space Invader boxer/briefs combine the maturity of the fashionable male adult with the charming and mysterious flare of the child-man. And because these will obviously be highly coveted by any man, the price is a little jacked at $35. But hey, it looks like the ladies like it.

Watching this video on BotJunkie from the passing Game Developer's Conference, the Pleo has managed to win me over. So they have two samples: one finished, and the other showing off what's actually going on inside. Notice how affectionate the finished Pleo is. Robots terrify me, but this Pleo has seriously won my heart.
Certain features like camera and motion sensors make me uneasy. But then I remember it's a touch sensitive dinosaur. And then I remember how I'll never be able to have a dinosaur. And then I remember just how much I want a dinosaur. I guess for $350, we can meet somewhere in the middle. Just look at that face. Ugh! Death by cuteness.
I consulted Joe, who has just returned from GDC, about the Pleo, and I can't tell if he's fighting the love or is just really scared of it. Regardless, he awarded me with stickers that I plan to stick to my ceiling so I can dream of my future pet dinosaur. Learn more about the Pleo at PleoWorld.com.
So last night you were out a little late. Maybe you got caught up with Xbox Live or lost track of time after you watched a full season of America's Next Top Model on VH1. Maybe you're just a lazy jerk. Whatever your excuse, fact is, you didn't study. What if you didn't have to write down all those answer under the brim of your baseball cap or on the inside of your arm...
The U.S. History Cheat T-Shirt eliminates any silly ploys to cheat when all you have to do is look down. Alright, so this information is most likely not going to be useful on any current exams, except for the occasional game of Trivial Pursuit or if you're applying for U.S. citizenship. It still makes a rockin' tee, leaving your viewers a little confused. Get your own cheat shirt for $16.95 at SnorgTees.
I'm sure there's a witty remark I could make about this, but my pun generator seems to be down. The toaster phone concept was created by Brazilian designer Renata Quintela. It's refreshing to see love for the land line, especially with such a cute twist. The toaster itself acts as the charging base for the two toast hand sets. Yup, two. Being both whimsical and practical, this phone beats out all the other food novelty phones. Take that, hamburger!
Pigging back on the piggy bank wreckage form of savings (Yay! My pun generator is up again!), the Marto eliminates the middle man: the piggy. Why bother with two objects, one for smashing and the other for being smashed, when you can just smash the smasher. Created by Arnold Goron, your money receptacle is attached to a stick, ready to be cracked open upon impact. My brain is having a hard time imaging just how much money one can fit in there. Then again, it doesn't really matter in the end since the fun is all in breaking stuff, not saving money.
