Alas, the folly of grill-masters worldwide, switching between tongs and your meat thermometer, not only wastes precious time, but potentially leaves the meat to over cook. These Digital BBQ Tongs, though not nearly as fun as digital BBQ thongs, will save you some time, eliminating the switch-off between the thermometer and the grabby tool.

A built-in alarm sounds when the meat is ready to be taken off the grill. A true BBQ chef needs the finest tools in the trade to ensure the perfectly cooked piece of beef has his name on it.

This disembodied cow (sorry Muslim Hindu readers) has been stuffed with computer parts, making it one of the more bizarre case mods we have ever seen. Included is a mini ITX motherboard, 20GB hard drive, 256MB DIMM RAM, Combo Drive CD R/RW DVD and an integrated 200-watt PW120 power supply.

Milk sold separately.

No, not “pop,” you friggen mid-westerners. SODA! This dragon was made entirely out of SODA, yes, SODA can pull tabs. Measuring 14 inches long and 8 inches tall, the Soda Can Pull Tab Dragon was produced by gluing an undisclosed number of pull tabs to each other with standard epoxy.

The creator of the dragon named it shinkonryuu, and its pretend magical power is inhabiting the spirit of a living person and then moving on once that person dies. Such a selfish power, but whatever.

As far as tiling goes, this has got to be the most ostentatious floor paneling we’ve come across. The Standard Grill Hotel in New York has a uniquely tiled floor. The floor is tiled with thousands of shiny pennies. Real, authentic, actual pennies.

You might miss it if you don’t look close, but I guess it’s the small things which can make a huge difference. Now if I want to impress anyone I’m going to have to tile my floor with silver dollars. Thanks for fucking it up for the rest of us.

If only it were this easy. If only cattle ranchers could wait until the meat was properly seared before branding their name or symbol onto the animal’s hide.

Luckily, as the resident BBQ chef of the house, there’s no need to hurt a weak and powerless animal. Just a dead and cooked one. The BBQ Branding Iron allows you to brand a message of choice in to your meat, before you beat it.

Finally! A gadget I can actually get behind. One thing that really gets me, a real pet peeve, is when I’m eating a taco and all the tasty shit inside flies out of the shell everytime I place it on my plate. Tacos have an abnormally awkward center of balance, so there is almost no way to not have shit falling everywhere.

These Taco Holders are simply genius, just for the fact that you don’t even have to place your taco on its side when you’re not holding onto it for dear life. The beef is staying right in the taco where it belongs. Now if I only remembered to tuck a napkin into my shirt. Luckily, I’m a lot better than I was, but most of my older shirts have some sort of taco stain. You can get six of your own taco plates for $7.95. Not sure how many pesos that is.

While the Abisko Washbasin does a fine job of encouraging water conservation, I’d one-up this design and go a bit further. You see, the Abisko Washbasin uses an angled design which allows wasted water to flow its way down through a drainage grill installed in the floor.

If you really wanted to encourage people to conserve water, you have to appeal to their common traits, such as laziness. Remove the drain grill and allow the wasted water to just splash all over the damn floor. I guarantee that people would waste a lot less water just because they are too lazy to clean up their wasted mess.

How do you like your sausage cooked? Do you mind if I place it in the A1-D1 region and just let it smoke to medium-rare goodness? Or do you like your meat to be black and charred? Don’t you worry, we’ll find the right equation to make sure the Spreadsheet Barbecue Grill cooks your meat exactly how you like it.

And you thought you’d be escaping the office completely during your weekend barbecue. No such luck, chef.

Customers who are leaving Verizon Wireless are being asked to conduct an exit survey so VZW can find out why they left. The standard questions apply but one of the answers is raising some eyebrows. Can you guess? I’ll give you a hint: it rhymes with iClone.

Yes, Verizon Wireless is gauging how badly the iPhone is hurting its subscriber base. It’s simply dying to know if it could have kept you around if VZW offered the iPhone. Chances are, a lot of people with cellphones are catching on to how popular that silly iPhone 3G is and want one – badly. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Apple and VZW are going to play ball one day.

Paying an ode to the Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes classic White Men Can’t Jump, these Nikes will have you ballin’ on the court with diamonds in your grill (such silly lingo!), Called the Flight Lite High, these shoes are as high as a pair of high-tops can get. Seriously. Reebok’s Pump doesn’t have jack shit on these puppies. Check out the bottom of the shoe after the jump – so colorful! If I played basketball, I’d insist on buying a pair, though at $300, they’re a wallet-drainer.
