Walking Stick Fishing Pole: Perfect for Dr. House's Days Off?
A walking stick, with a catch. Well, potentially a catch anyway: with a reel and 8# fishing line, this mashup gadget enables you to combined fishing with your countryside strolls. It's 35-inches high, with a rubber foot and metal/plastic reel, and is available now for $39.95. On second thoughts, House wouldn't so much use this for fishing for fish, as much as for views up nurse's skirts. The advertising doesn't suggest that though. [Product via Nerd Approved] -
