Magnets are just the most endlessly utilitarian application of elementary scientific knowledge this side of electricity – and just think what happens when those two come together!
From picking up big piles of scrap iron and moving them through the air and across a crowded junkyard with a crane, to comically confusing the Insane Clown Posse, and to powering these ingenious magnetic wristbands, their seemingly magic powers know no bounds. Name the small metal part or implement you could easily lose quick as a sneeze or accidentally tipping a bowl or pan over a drain, and this “+1,000,000 Bracer Of Holding” will keep it close at hand.
Nuts? Bolts? Nails? Screws? Washers? Needles? Strap the comfortable velcro strap around a wrist, and go anywhere while safely and conveniently carrying any little metal part you could need. From any position your hand could turn, they’ll stay put in a field of suspended AWESOME!
Don’t chuckle! Magnets of magic science are worth the exclamation point!
Personally, I love the idea of magnetic wristband most just because it eliminates a persistent safety concern I always have. I’ve many times stood atop a stool, chair or shelf fixing something and feared teetering backwards as Gravity laughs in my comical, wide-eyed face as I fall. A busted tailbone or broken neck only begins my worries. Half the time, my chompers are clenching nails and screws that could shred my mouth and throat on the way down my gullet. So thank you, miracle magnetic wristbands, for ensuring a nail will never choke me.
You may remember a post we wrote a few weeks ago on unique headbands for women, wherein I “oohed” and “ahhed” over an assortment of geeky and cheeky noggin accessories. My favorite of the bunch were the adorably sweet teacup crochet headbands from Etsy artisan Priscilla of “You Cute”, and I was delighted when she offered to send one my way. That’s me up there, rocking her violet teacup. I’m such a “teas”. =^_^=
You Cute crochet headbands are such a treat; the level of detail is wonderful, with the teacup sporting a wee tag that says “T” and two sugar cookies on the saucer. But if teacups aren’t your style, Priscilla also creates a number of other whimsical food treats: from s’mores to cupcakes, slices of pie to my favorite – a stack of pancakes complete with a dollop of butter and a puddle of syrup. Nom nom!
You’ll also find a wide variety of floral crochet headbands for women, girls, and even in wee baby sizes. An especially sweet idea for the latter are her “bun covers”: crocheted scoops of ice cream that fit snugly over a little one’s hair bun. All together now: d’awwwww! <3
Many a Lord of the Rings fan (including our very own writer, Dr. Tomorrow) owns a “One Ring” replica, but we’re willing to bet that it’s not nearly as nom-worthy as it is “precious”. So here’s your chance to right that oversight, and to pay homage to both the Tolkien classic and a nostalgic candylicious favorite, with the One Ring (Pop) t-shirt. But you’ll have to hurry – it’s available today (May 18th) only!
Betcha never thought that a bespectacled belle from galaxies far, far away could be so adorably kawaii! The geek alien necklace by Antisparkle Apparel is perfect for a Sci-Fi Sally no matter her age; I can see this hanging ’round the neck of a 10 year old just as easily as one a few years (okay, decades) her senior. The delicate pink ball chain gives the girlie alien charm a sweetly feminine touch that seems to say:
“Come closer! I promise won’t bite, or even harvest your organs for intergalactic scientific research … much.” =^_^=
Every fascinating item we find has its story. For example: someone somewhere once looked upon an empty beer case and thought “hat.” No one knows who he was, or what he was doing. We can at least guess what he was drinking. Perhaps his roommates gave him one final warning, after his Dance of the Lampshade Hat once more resulted not in rain, or healthier crops, or a Kansas City Chiefs touchdown as he insisted it would. The jig probably instead gave way to the much less productive Crushing Of Another Lampshade Two-Step.
Whoever he was, whatever his motivation, give this genius credit: these lids prove that sometimes brain cells do survive beer baths. These sudsy stetsons are each made from a single 18-can case of Miller Lite, Coors Light or Miller Genuine Draft. Coors and Miller have both respectively officially licensed these hats, and each high crowned, wide brimmed, weather resistant hat includes an elastic band for comfort. One size will fit almost any dome.
Count on this being a conversation-starter. What we wear always makes a statement. And so does this hat: “Member Of The Opposite Sex, I love beer far more than I’ll probably ever love you. But at least I’m upfront about it. Yeehaw!”
