A Ride Aboard the Pleasurecraft Turns Any Geek Into Captain Stubing
According to the designers, the Pleasurecraft "is a vehicular kit that choreographs gesture and landscape to produce an outing full of splendor and romance." This little love boat comes equipped with everything the awkward nerd needs to transform into a cool Casanova : luxurious pillows, a champagne cooler, instruction manuals, a mustache comb, tic-tacs and a water wheel that is "perfectly calibrated to the RPM of the River Seine." As the boat glides gracefully through the water, the wheel turns and activates a gramophone that serenades your lover. Let's just hope she is tone deaf because the video after the break doesn't scream "romance" to me. Good thing it is only a concept. More » -

May I suggest using this $15 Spaceship Fragrance Oil Warmer, the geekiest love aid we've ever seen. Imported from far off galaxies and recommended by captains by the name of Kirk, Gordon, Solo and Zapp Brannigan, I'm not sure how you could go wrong except if you tipped it over and caused a chemical fire in deep space and your airlocks all blew out before you finished your business time.

Digital Couch Couple Counseling
This digitized couch was designed by a UK'er and has the ability to tell when a girl is not interested in you. It may be apparent to everyone around you because of your wretched BO, bad teeth, ugliness, etc, but finally you will know when you are not wanted because the couch lights up blue patterns. Using electroluminescent technology and pressure sensors the couch will know where the two persons are sitting and if it is far apart the blue patterns will light up. Once the lady gets drunk enough to become attracted to you, the couch will switch to more passionate red patterns showing that the two persons are together, canoodling. More » -
