			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first time I ever picked up a pair of chopsticks to eat a bowl of teriyaki, I was like a fish to water. Within minutes, I was chowing on Asian delicacies without ever looking back at my fork. But for those of you who lack the dexterity to pick up your noodles and rice with anything but silverware, have I got a gift for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5928 aligncenter" title="hiyokomame_chopstick_set" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/hiyokomame_chopstick_set.jpg" alt="hiyokomame chopstick set" width="520" height="392" /></p>
<p>The hiyokomame (named for Japanese chick peas) chopstick practice set gives you everything you need to get your &#8216;stick-wielding talents in order without risk of spilling even a single grain of greasy fried rice on your just-pressed dress shirt.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5929 aligncenter" title="hiyokomame_chopstick_set_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/hiyokomame_chopstick_set_2.jpg" alt="hiyokomame chopstick set 2" width="520" height="456" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Instead of trying to pick up bits of real grub, you&#8217;ll be delicately dipping into a bowl of little yellow plastic bean-shaped chicks. Each one stares blankly back at you as you pluck them from their bowl and they get ready to meet their maker in a sloshing pool of digestive acids.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5931 aligncenter" title="hiyokomame_chicks" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/hiyokomame_chicks.jpg" alt="hiyokomame chicks" width="520" height="476" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While you&#8217;ll definitely be able to hone your chopstick skills with this wacky set, you should be reminded that the bite-size hiyokomame dudes are not edible, and gulping down a bowlful of toxic plastic and dyes with your new-found chopstick skills would probably send you to the emergency room to have your stomach pumped.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This oddity from Japan is available just in time for the holidays over at <a href="http://www.gizmine.com/#ProductPage=CategoryCode=gzar&amp;productURLCode=chprtc">Gizmine</a> for $39.99 (USD). I&#8217;ve only got one question&#8230; are chick peas really made from baby chickens?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can cop a feel every single day with these bizarre computer mice shaped like hot women&#8217;s torsos. Unfortunately, since they have no heads or limbs, it will probably make you feel like a creepy necrophiliac serial killer type with each right-click.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3827 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/chickmice.jpg" alt="chickmice" width="520" height="291" title="chickmice photo" /></p>
<p>There are two types available: lingerie torso and cropped World Cup t-shirt torso. All of the torsos are wearing lacy painted underwear which only serves to highlight their unfortunate limblessness.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3826 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/chickmice2.jpg" alt="chickmice2" width="520" height="300" title="chickmice2 photo" /></p>
<p>To add to the perviness factor, the mice are given names like Francesca and Michaela, depending on nationality. Oddly enough both the French and Spanish torsos are named Luisa. Then again, I&#8217;m guessing if you are the type to buy a mouse of this nature then such trivialities will not bother you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3828 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/chickmice3.jpg" alt="chickmice3" width="520" height="299" title="chickmice3 photo" /></p>
<p>As far as a novelty mouse goes, I will grudgingly admit that a woman&#8217;s curves do seem like they would make for a pretty ergonomic mousing experience, and it&#8217;s clever to make boobs clickable, but that doesn&#8217;t make this any less creepy. And if you&#8217;re willing to shell out €30 ($45) for one of these, then you&#8217;re not only kinda pervy, you&#8217;re also pretty spendy. Get them <a href="http://www.design-3000.de/">here</a>.</p>
