Oh la, choc.

The Chocolatiere. $29.95. The Ferret can’t stand chocolate. Nope. Nasty stuff. All that brown. Sweetness. Melty, gooey-ness.

Delight your guests with an invitingly warm (but not too hot!) dipping chocolate for their strawberries, pineapple chunks, orange slices, bananas or other favorites.

Oomphle.

Oomphle. Er…  OOMPHLE is a completely NEW kind of entertainment! How does it work? You post a free-form anonymous question about any subject. You may even ask questions not understandable by anyone in the world beside yourself (like should I do this now?). Nobody knows what you are talking about, but you will get an answer nevertheless. After you have posted an acceptable question all you need is to wait for an answer. Does it really work? It works, believe…

Robopet. I don’t know. The Japanese keep announcing astonishing feats of robotic genius, and all we keep coming up with in the West are stupid, cute useless things? Yes, yes, I know it’s a different market, but still…  This biomechanical Robopet is extremely expressive with lifelike animations and digital animal sounds. Robopet is easily programmed with a remote to perform sequences of movements and tricks. Robopet walks, crawls, sits down and stands up, runs and jumps, and can perform an array…
