Pepper Spray Gel Ensures Your Attackers Eyes Get Burnt and Stay Burnt
Because getting maced just doesn't suck enough, there's now mace pepper spray gel.

Of course, the real question is: Just how long will this be in "beta"? [Google Blog via PC World, Flickr]

Sacrowedgy: A Wedgy To Relax You
This Sacrowedgy is totally different from the wedgies we received in elementary school, junior high, high school, through parts of college, that one time at grad school, and last week from Charlie—but in a good way. The Sacrowedgy helps your muscles relax and reduces back, hip and knee pain, just by lying on it. More »
