MacGyver Mouse Has Numpad, Laser Pointer, Toothpaste, Underpants, Gallon of Freon, Detonator

Skullcandy MacGyver MP3 Watch

We're not sure why this is called the MacGyver watch, seeing as MacGyver didn't ever use an MP3 player in any of his contraptions, as far as we recall. Nonetheless, this watch has 1 GB of flash memory and up to 5 hours of playtime with the built in headphone jack. USB1.1 support makes for length file transfers, so you won't be able to load this up while tied up in a room with an electric saw next to your crotch. More »
