The 27-inch iMacs are probably made in a similar way. Except that they accidentally used Poison Mushrooms. Oh, snap!

It’s a shame that I only saw this shirt today, a few hours before the actual tablet will be revealed (or not). Still, this is proof of how hyped-up this gadget has become. We didn’t see shirts joking about the features of the Zune or the PS3 did we?

You can get the shirt at Diesel Sweeties for $17 – $18 (USD) depending on the size.

But since this joke is likely to be obsolete tomorrow, scrooges like me can just download the wallpaper version of the list of features and save $18 that you can use to to put towards your actual tablet purchase instead.

The compartmentalized touchscreen will allow users to make and receive a total of four calls simultaneously, take Lomo-like pictures using the four cameras. Since its OS is very, very, very, very similar to the iPhone’s OS, you can run all of your apps and view up to four of them simultaneously! Hell, you can even have four instances of the same app! Twitter addicts rejoice!

I heard from my own Apple outsider that AT&T will sell the four-screen Apple Tablet at a subsidized price of $0.99, but will require users to sign up for an 8-year contract.

For me the funniest thing about the whole prank is the sheer number of balls fired by the robot. But who knows, maybe this will make your day so here’s the video:

If I had the nerdery necessary to build a ping pong-firing robot, I’d hide it in the men’s bathroom and make it fire at anyone who pees. Or I’d aim at anyone who dares fall asleep in the office. Or I’d make it so anyone who says a certain word or phrase gets ping ponged. What I wouldn’t do is simply aim it at someone’s office and have it fire away relentlessly but at low velocities, which quickly devolves the prank to an annoying and awkward event. Unfortunately I’m not a nerd. At the moment I don’t even have an office to go to.

I’m talking about the xphone. And yes, that’s a VHS tape going inside it. Watch as this German-made spoof pokes fun at consumers’ demands for a do-it-all device and technology’s ever-increasing capacity to pack a ton of features into one gadget.

The Onion would be proud of whoever made that video.

The electric shock can opener is sold at BudgetGadgets for only $4 (USD).  The look on your face when you forget about it’s surprise and you use it? Priceless.

If you’ve heard the joke before, I apologize for the hype. Personally it made my 2 a.m. so much more awesome. But if it had the same effect on you, you might want to thank Debbie Vega for making the joke up by buying her t-shirt at TypeTees for only $10 (USD).

That’s the British for you. Let’s hope the Australians respond by beating England at the tournament.

I lol’d at Eau, You Have Cats. DuroSports went the extra mile and even concocted a scandal with the Author’s Guild, obviously a parody of the Kindle text-to-speech snafu. The Guild’s “statement” claimed that the Smell of Books was violating the “olfactory rights” of authors, so DuroSports had no choice but to pull out their aerosols for now.

Imagine the surprise of your roommate when they wake up tomorrow morning to find this Blood Bath shower curtain hanging in place of the old one. Whether they think Anthony Perkins came back to life to stab you to death or there was a midnight zombie attack, who cares? Either way, it’s bound to provoke a reaction.

To complete the effect, be sure to mix up some Karo syrup and red food coloring and splatter some down in the drain. Maybe a few drips on the floor, leading to the toilet too. If you’d rather save yourself the mess, you could also pick up this matching bloody bath mat.

The guys over at UK gift maker SpinningHat came up with these sick and twisted things, and I love them for it. I found the shower curtain over at ParamountZone for just £8.99 (appx. $13 USD) – but there’s no word on when they’ll start stocking the matching bath mat.

Yes 1975, it’s your old friend, text adventure! Bill Meltsner ripped off all the fancy, useless graphics that kids nowadays just can’t live without and revealed that *gasp* Guitar Hero is as repetitive as your 9 to 5 job.

Okay so there are no songs. And even if you had the reflexes of a dying turtle you’d still ace the game, as long as you typed the right response. Thankfully it’s a short game. The game’s response when you beat the game is one of the funniest, but also one of the most depressing things I have ever read. I’m glad I’m not good at Guitar Hero.

Here’s the link if you want to play the game. You can also download the game, but you’ll have to find something that reads .z5 to play it.

Go ahead, print that last screenshot. Whip it out the next time your friend showers your face with his saliva while bragging about how he’s beaten Through the Fire and Flames 1 billion times on Sadomasochistic Mode.

Your friend is prepped for the AC Milan – Juventus match, wearing his del Piero boxers, hot popcorn and San Mig Super Dry at the ready. Just when the game kicks off, the TV shuts down! He turns it back on but it’s suddenly muted! One second Nedved’s lining up for a blaster, the next it’s Eddie Murphy in Norbit!

Or you pass by an appliance shop. You’re at the pub. Or your little sister’s watching Bob the Builder. You get the idea. Just don’t mistake it for your car’s remote lock, because that would be… that would be awesome. Also, MANNY! MANNY! MANNY!

Somebody must have thought this thing would be cute, but this “dog doll” MP3 player turned out hideous and disturbing. Not only does it look nothing like a dog, it seems incredibly impractical as a music player thanks to its strange lumpy (yet fuzzy) shape.

Unless you think a troll doll on all fours in a green leotard with a tracheotomy tube sticking out of its neck and a USB port in its ass is charming, you’ll probably want to avoid this.

I really can’t think of any reason that you’d ever want to buy this thing unless you’ve want to play a really cruel joke on someone. You know, one that goes something like this: “Hey, you know that new iPod Touch you’ve been begging for? I already bought you a brand new MP3 player that’s waaaaay better!”

The Multi-Tector is the latest creation from the novelty house of Stupidiotic. Simply flip the handheld detector to the appropriate setting, aim it at your friends, and it’ll pick out your selected target with ease.

Actually, the gadget is a practical joke, which lets YOU decide who it singles out. There’s an inconspicuous button that lets you make the alarm light and sound go off on the mark of your choice. There’s also slightly edgier “adult” version if you don’t already swear enough times during the day.

Simple, yet effective, the Multi-Tector is available from Stupidiotic for just $8 bucks.

Available in PSP, iPod and laser pointer versions, the $3.95 devices all deliver a tiny zap of current to your unsuspecting victim. Surprisingly, the laser pointer is actually functional, but don’t expect to play any games or music on the other gadgets. There’s also a fake car alarm remote that I came across a few weeks back too.

On a couple of occasions in my I’ve had defective electronic gear that decided to surprise me with a nasty jolt, but doing it intentionally just strikes me as plain cruel.
