"Most folks never realize how cute microbes can be when expanded 1,000,000 times and then fashioned into cuddly plush. Until now, that is. Keep one on your desktop to remind yourself that there is an ""invisible"" universe out there filled with very small things that can do incredible damage to much bigger things. Then go and wash your hands. Lather, rinse, repeat. Your choice of (see additional images for pics of each): Bad Breath - Halitosis (Porphorymonas gingivalis) Oral malodor is no laughing matter. But don't give spicy foods all the credit. Microbes deserve their share of the glory, too. Make someone smile (as long as they've brushed first.) Beer Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Come and get it! This microbe is a baker, and a brewer -- and a scientist to boot. Pretty amazing! Learn about the secrets to its success. BookWorm (Anobium punctatum) Do you have a favorite bookworm? We do! And our book-lover is sure to interest just about any bibliophile. Brain Cell (Neuron) The more brain cells you have, the smarter you are. Chicken Pox (Varicella-Zoster virus) Don't be scared - a new vaccine is making chickenpox roadkill. Common Cold (Rhinovirus) Billions of people a year catch the cold. Now you can get one too -- without getting sick! Learn all about the Common Cold with this cuddly companion. Ebola (Ebola Virus) Since its discovery in 1976, Ebola has become the T. Rex of microbes. Share the love! E. Coli (Escherichia coli) Everyone's welcome at a barbecue. Or are they? Egg Cell (Human Ovum) Our egg cell would love to be the newest member of your family -- or get donated to someone special! Flesh Eating Disease (Streptococcus pyogenes) Caused by the same microbe responsible for strep-throats, Flesh Eating can put you on a diet -- fast. Flu (Orthomyxoviridae) This guy may not look too tough, but don't let his cute looks fool you! Once he and his friends show up you're in for a pretty lousy time. Learn about his weaknesses so you can avoid unwanted encounters. Gangrene (Clostridium perfringens) Gangrene sets in when you least expect it. Gonorrhea/The Clap (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) One of the most common venereal diseases, Gonorrhea can be easily cured -- or avoided. Know the risks. Herpes (Herpes Simplex Virus 2) Breaking out is hard to do. Learn the facts. H.I.V. (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) Not cute in any sense, This plush microbe seeks to educate those about the deadly virus that destroys CD4 or T-helper cells. Kissing Disease/Mono (Epstein-Barr Virus) A kiss is just a kiss -- unless she's around! 95% of the population has encountered this sweetie pie. Just think of all the fun you can have giving Mono to somebody without all the medical complications! Mad Cow Disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) When bovine prions stampede the wrong way, everyone says Moo! (Each doll has its own unique pattern.) Malaria (Plasmodium falciparum) The tropics have coconuts, soft beaches, clear water, shiny fish, colorful birds, steel drums, umb..."

"A long time ago in a distant galaxy, no one knew what a meme was. ""Meme?"" they asked. ""What the heck is a meme?"" Then the Internet arrived to teach everyone. One of the earliest and most enduring memes was the poor case of the Bonsai Kitten. You may recall that the evil Dr. Chang was doing nefarious experiments to raise tiny kittens in jars. As they grew, the kitten's supple bones would mold themselves into the shape of the jar and become even more... cute? Here at ThinkGeek we love memes and kittehs equally. Since a real Bonsai Kitty would be cruel, we have created the amazing Bonsai Kitty Plush. This cuddly kitty comes direct from Dr. Chang's lab and wants to live at your house, dorm room, or office. Please do not free him from the jar! In his distorted shape, he is no longer able to exist in the outside world. Instead give him love and accept him as a beautiful consequence of human ingenuity and moral breakdown. Important Note: No cats kittens or kittehs were harmed in the creation of this product. For the uninformed, the original Bonsai kitten joke was a hoax (aka NOT real). Dr. Chang is a fictional character and real cats wouldn't live long in a glass jar. Here at ThinkGeek, we love cats. We want to hug all of them, which is crazy cuz we can't hug every cat. But we just want to. Okay? Product Specifications Plush Kitty based on the original Bonsai Kitten Internet meme Includes jar filled with kitten Jar looks like glass, but is made from clear plastic Kitten may be freed from jar but he's pretty blocky from being stuck in there for so long No batteries required No actual cats were harmed Measures approximately 7"" long Suitable for ages 3 and up"

"Our copywriter monkey admits that she had never played Cut the Rope before being assigned this product. So she downloaded it. And then she neglected her duties for an hour straight while cutting ropes and popping bubbles and collecting stars and feeding Om Nom. His little face! His giant eyes! It's so adorable how hopeful he looks that you're going to feed him soon. And then, when you fail, it's just heartbreaking. You don't want to disappoint Om Nom. He's so much cuter when he's munching happily on candy. If you've fallen prey to the adorableness of Om Nom, we have good news. You can get your very own Om Nom plush to snuggle and keep you company at work or home. He's about 5"" in diameter, which is a great size for a desk top friend or object to hurl across the office. But please don't throw Om Nom, unless you're throwing him in the direction of the nearest candy dish. He'd appreciate that. Product Specifications 5"" plush of Om Nom from the game Cut the Rope He's very, very hungry and would like some candy Unlike a Mogwai, you can feed him after midnight with no repercussions Choose: Happy or Hungry"

"There are several questions to consider when choosing a monster to stick on your head: 1) Will this monster affect my mental abilities in any way? Creatures such as the brain slugs from Futurama may be cute but have the unfortunate side effect of diminished host capacity. 2) How comfortable will my head be with said monster attached? After a few minutes with the Half Life headcrab's beak in your frontal lobe, you, too, will be moaning ""Help me."" 3) Will putting this monster on my head encourage my enemies to cower in terror before me? Okay, so this is where our buddy Domo-kun sorta comes up short. You can let out a fearsome roar with this hat on, but the most likely response you'll elicit is a giggle. This hat is 100% polyester, made from a poly fleece fabric, which is warm but lightweight and water-resistant. One size fits most aspiring monsters."

"Technology is awesome, but can we trust it? How can we be sure that our cell phones aren't recording our brain waves and transmitting our ideas to evil corporations? How can we be sure that our watches aren't silently recording our pulses and sending the data to Big Food so they know when to advertise those juicy bacon cheeseburgers on TV and ruin our diet plans? Yeah, see, now you're paranoid too. We've taken the mirrors out of our bathrooms to avoid that classic horror movie moment, too. We recommend you do the same. Preventative paranoia is the key to success. Part of our plan is eschewing traditional watches for the sundial. Inspired by designs from Babylonia, Egypt, the Celts of Northern Europe, the Mayans and Incas and Aztecs, we've found the most imaginative and accurate wearable sundials anywhere. Instructions for reading your new sundial are included. Batteries, however, are not. They're not needed! Who needs batteries to sense the rhythms of the solar system? Guaranteed to work as long as the sun rises... and we don't want to think about the day that stops happening. How the Sundial works... On a sunny day, suspend the sundial by its black satin cord. Through a tiny hole, a thin ray of sunshine will illuminate a number on the inside of the dial showing the time of day. This Aquitaine sundial was named after Eleanor of Aquitaine, who gave one to King Henry II of England so Henry would know when to return from the hunt for their love trysts. (One must always be timely for love trysts. Tryst us on that one.) How the Stardial works... Set the middle wheel to the month, hold the dial upside down, and sight the North Star through the center hole. Move the top of the dial's arm to align with the uppermost stars of the Big Dipper, and read the time on the inner dial where the arm crosses the hour mark! Star dials were first used in the 15th century by navigators and are extremely accurate because they are based on the North Star. Product Features Pewter sundial & stardial ring pendants Tell the time without electricity, gears, or other technology Modeled after historical timepieces Approximately 1.3 inches (3.3 cm) in diameter Comes with a 30"" black silk cord (or supply your own chain)"
