You would really need to hide it. Might get thrown in the trash.

Hehe nice! Great idea.

next on the list of "Fake" type items:


A goldfish bowl that doubles as- you guessed it -  a surge protector.

a garbage bag that can be used as a mouse.

an old newspaper that doubles as a bag of doritos.

a external hard drive that doubles as a toilet paper dispenser.

as printer/Fax/scanner that doubles as a 9V battery.

a 9V battery that can be worn as a pair of pants.

a bottle of iced tea that doubles as a pair of socks...


a three wheeled mouse that doubles as... you guessed it...

a three slice TOASTER! *gasp*



Hmm, somehow I think my ideas are more outlandish and ill-conceived then an in-bred watermelon.

Actually, this is a common misconception; see, a toaster can also be used for English Muffins and bagels and so forth; why reduce the number of supported implementations of the IToastable interface? Just because it is also a mouse does not justify it to reduce the functionality of one of it's component blended appliances.

And you as well  ;D

      sounds like a 007 gadget  8)

      Q:007, I have a new gadget for you, the Bow-Drive is a high-capacity flash drive capable of storing 8GB of information in your Bow-Tie, perfect for carrying classified information without the trouble of a large metal briefcase.  ;D

      or what about the ones where Q is always drunk and late for work.


      007: So what new gadgets have you conjured up this time?

      Q: well, I have this interesting gadget here, it will hold papers together for you, and get this... it doubles as a nosepicker!

      007: It's a paperclip...

      Q: at first glance, perhaps, but watch this! (unfolds paperclip) TADA! it's a nosepicker! *shoves up nose*

      007: *crosses arms*

      Q: OH! And here is my other invention!

      007: it's a toaster...

      Q: Ahh- but look at how many slices it toasts at once!

      007: three

      Q: indeed!

      Yes, but what if you only want three slices of toast? Huh? what then? you let one sit empty, wasting extra energy, burning more fossil fuels which subsequently means less gasoline for your vehicles which means it burns out over 40 miles from a gas station during your family vacation to death valley california  at which point yo bend down to pick up a penny and a midget pops out of your trunk, punches you in the face, and takes the penny as well as your last gallon of water. Confused and bewildered by the sudden occurence of both the penny and the midget, you break down and cry. At this point a sea cucumber waddles over and comforts you "Don't worry, spill your guts. I do it all the time!" it says. So you pick up the sea cucumber and throw it as far as you can at which point you become aware of the ground shaking.... (I could go on like this)
