Gigantic Water Play Slide: Inflatable Mobile Fun

In the spirit of really large and cool shit for the summer, check out this Gigantic Water Play Slide from “ridiculously expensive stuff” extraordinaire Hammacher Schlemmer.
Part 16-foot water slide, part water fort, the Gigantic Water Play Slide includes a bouncy center play gym and a mountain climbing-like stair experience. All for the (super-cheap, OMG) price of (only?!) $9,000. Chump change.


It’s amazing and annoying how many people are germ-freaks these days; they always ruin your fun because they are scared of some “e-coliâ€? germ or something. Well now you can shut them up once and for all because their lifesaving gadget has arrived: the Handheld Germ Eliminating Light. This cell-phone sized device uses nanotechnology to eliminate nearly 100% (have to say nearly so Hammacher doesn’t get sued) of everyday harmful germs, such as e-coli and salmonella. Just because you zapped your raw egg smoothie with this doesn’t mean you can trust that it removed all of the e-coli. You know you can trust the technology behind this device because hospitals have been using it to sterilize needles and other important equipment. Just hold the UV-C light ¼â€? to 4â€? away from the source for 10 seconds, and poof, the germs are supposedly gone. At only $80, the Handheld Germ Eliminating light might be a great way to shut up that overreacting aunt or grandma that just won’t let boys be boys. — Nick Rice
