There is no denying that Einstein was one of the most brilliant physicists since Newton. The man was on a different train of thought than the rest of humanity. I believe he simply couldn’t have gotten revered without the help of some friendly cannabis sativa. Sure, naysayers will claim Einstein was a straight-edge, but that’s just plain wrong. The theory of relativity is so abstract, Einstein had to be high to have come up with it.

Just like Einstein, you too can be high with the Einstein pipe from Golden Shepherd Imports. Will smoking a pipe that has Einstein’s face on it make you come up with theories as dynamic as the theory of relativity? Not a chance. But you’ll get stoned, that’s for certain.

In order to appeal to billions of smokers in China, a company has brought out this ultimate cigarette phone. Not only does it look like a pack of cigarettes (the exact size and the exact warning labels concerning health), it actually holds half a pack of REAL cigarettes on the back. All you need to do is to slide open the battery cover and you’re set to make new friends. The phone itself runs on dualband GSM, takes microSD cards, plays MP3, has a color screen and a VGA camera on the side. For $175 you will get a whole luxurious VIP kit with the phone, a pack of Chonghwa branded cigarettes as well as a lighter. More pics after the jump.

The combination of innovative technology and household safety is an area that is beginning to grow. Small items are utilizing various parts of our homes to become just a step above what we currently have. The DuPont Screw-In Self-Charging Smoke Alarm utilizes your light socket to do more than your current smoke alarm.

So many of us have the built in smoke alarms. It’s that thing that makes the most annoying sound when you burn the turkey in the oven (not this year at least!), or when it needs its battery replaced. While DuPont’s new smoke alarm won’t do much to solve the first problem, the second is covered. Because it uses your light socket, there is no need for batteries, it just uses the power the lightbulb normally would. Don’t worry, the lightbulb is still taken care of because the smoke detector has a place for you to screw the lightbulb into it. This device is useful and doesn’t get in anyone’s way. Innovative technology in a place that, once it’s done, seems so obvious an idea. Just don’t forget to leave the light switch on. — Nik Gomez
