are you looking at my headgear?

So what do you suppose this strange contraption is? Could it be some kind of thought control device? Perhaps a new version of the Flowbee hair-vacuum? Maybe it’s an alien brain extraction system? Or is it just the latest fashion trend from the runways in Milan?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this goofy looking helmet is a newfangled head massager. The Head Spa claims to reduce stress and tension by increasing blood circulation and stimulating your scalp through acupressure. It does not claim however, to reduce the level of embarrassment and humiliation you’ll feel wearing it.

According to the product description: “The patented design is lightweight and easy to use while at your office desk, on the morning commute, or while enjoying your evening television program.”  I think if you wore one of these on the bus or at work, you’d get hauled off to the loony bin.

If you can manage to get over the stares that’ll come your way, I bet it’s actually pretty relaxing. So head on over to Edmund Scientific and you can strap one on for just $49.95.
