That her twin sister shows up instead of her? With the fingerprint ring, you can just compare fingerprints and know when it's the real thing.

All you do is get a kit, imprint your lover's (or even your own) fingers, send it off, and get a custom fingerprint ring in your choice of metals. The message the maker of these trinkets wants to send is that "your lover touching you, holding your finger, always with you," but all I'm hearing is "make sure it's not her sister...make sure it's not her sister!"

<![CDATA[What Is This?]]> Ready for some mystery? The answer is... we don't know!

It's true. We (being astronomers and people far smarter than I) really don't know. But we do know where this mysterious event took place: One billion kilometers away, in Saturn's F ring.

The pic was snapped by a school bus sized gadget we call Cassini. It's been orbiting Saturn since 2004, and the wealth of data, photos and knowledge beamed back to us in that timeframe is nothing short of amazing.

But this latest snapshot is an enigma. Something punched through the F ring, violently spewing a plume of dust, ice and rock out into the nothingness—but what?

Even more mysterious is the bright spot left in the object's wake. Icy crystals laid bare for the Sun's rays? A new material? A cosmic mooning from some alien prankster? Possibly, but whatever it is, it's yet another reminder of how violent and unexpected space can be.

Isn't that right, Jupiter? [Bad Astronomy]

<![CDATA[Will You Be Prime?]]> In the tradition of the Atari ring comes this gold Optimus Prime ring from deviantartist =Dans-Magic.

It's the perfect gift for that special someone. That same special someone who's willing to wait hours and hours in line with you at a premiere so you can go into the theater to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and ogle Megan Fox half-naked on a motorcycle. [Geekologie]

<![CDATA[This Belly Button Ring Is Not an Alien Appendage (NSFW)]]> What are these? They look like Alien tails that'll stab your heart out, except that it hangs from your belly button for sci-fi nerds in bikinis.


Oh. Oh that's what it is. A cybernetic pop-up penis. [SheCoolHeCool via Fashionably Geek]

<![CDATA[Lego Silver Rings Will Brick Your Marriage]]> The only rings I've ever liked are nipple rings, The Lord of the Rings, and Ringo Starr. I love these silver Lego rings, though. You can customize them putting any brick you want on top.

As you can see in the gallery, you can use any Lego brick or piece you want to change their appearance. They come in three different models, with one ($140), two ($151) and four studs ($165). Ah, if I only knew when I asked the two ex-wives to marry me. [Edition Mathea via Make]

<![CDATA[Sexual Gadgets Can Now Be Seized at US Borders Too]]> First it was liquid bottles. Then laptops. And now they are seizing our penis extensors, penis pumpers, and other sexual gadgets. The FDA is saying that they represent a real risk and federal border agents have now a guideline to confiscate them at US territory entry points. The list would be hilarious if it weren't so surreal and stupid:

• Mechanical stretching devices, which "employ weights or lines tied to other parts of the body such as the knee, to affect tension on the penis.

• Vacuum operating devices, "those employing a sealing principle in the area of the base of the penis and an evacuation mechanism to drop the atmospheric pressure around the penis, thereby affecting increased blood flow."

• Constrictive rings, which "constrict the base of the penis after erection has been achieved and cause the erection to be maintained by blocking the normal circulation of blood from the penis."

• Supportive devices, which "function as a splint or cradle in order to maintain a resemblance of turgidity."

Actually, it is hilarious. It almost gave me a browner. These points are part of their new guideline revision for "external penile rigidity devices." Seriously, what about those people with built-in inflatable devices? Can they travel? What's next on the list? Chocolate penis hats? Robotech Thrusters? Pink blowjob machines? Rubber penis builders?

We demand answers! This safety law's nonsense to achieve a false sense of security has to stop at once. [Star Telegram]

<![CDATA[Swarovski Crystal Engagement Ring (With USB)]]> I've proposed three times in my life. Once was with a traditional diamond ring (it went well). The other two were with tacky USB devices (which also went well). The lesson learned? I'm suave enough to score chicks people as long as I'm on my knees.

As for my next weapon of choice, it will have to be this USB Flash Drive Swarovski Crystal Engagement Ring. Only a concept at the moment, manufacturers are fearing releasing this technology that fuses tacky USB with ostentatious stones, lest I score every person in the entire world. [designer via tfts]

<![CDATA[Contura Ring Profiles Your Love]]> I can think of no better gift to a loved one than a picture of myself. But ink, even in its timeless fashion, often fails to capture the true essence of my visage. That's why the Contura ring appeals to me so. I merely send in a profile shot and luxury gift supplier Fitzsu will make a ring from the shape. A stainless steel version will run $625—of course non-precious metals would never do—though the more suitable gold version will certainly weigh down the pocketbook at $5,730. But knowing that I can pass the God-given gift that is my face to another this holiday season? How can one place a price upon perfection? [product via gadgetlab]

<![CDATA[Gold Wedding Ring Box Has 2-inch LCD, Plays Video]]> As the married editors of Gizmodo can vouch for, when you ask your wife to marry you she's not going to remember anything about the box the ring comes in, just the ring itself. However, this ring box has a 2-inch LCD that can play back 60 minutes of video or 500 photos, which means you can present her with both a ring and naked pictures/video of her to enhance the mood. With this Euricase Multimedia Ring Box you can be sure your lady knows to judge a book by its (tacky, tacky) cover as well as its contents. Best of all, you can keep on using the ring as an alarm clock and a calendar! You win forever! [Euricase via Everything USB via Oh Gizmo]

<![CDATA[Key Rings]]> What's more embarrassing for Charlie Murphy than having "Unity" indented on his forehead? How about Ctrl Alt Delete? It's too bad Rick James wasn't a geek, or else that story would have went down slightly differently for Darkness. $89 each.

<![CDATA[Singelringen Advertises Your Loneliness]]> Tired of looking for the negative space of an absent wedding ring when you go to clubs? Try the Singelringen, a gimmicky ring that advertises to others that you're free and willing to bump and grind. Each ring has a unique code, which you can use to register online and place your profile. This way, you can give other losers single people the code instead of your phone number in order to look you up later.

There's only around 30,000 users now, plus it costs $49. That means your chances of meeting someone with this are slim to ridiculously slim. But it does make for a nice conversation starter. That's right ladies, this ring says I have tons of disposable income.

<![CDATA[Dangerous Jewelry by Tobias Wong]]> Still got your Malibu?
Aw, man. You know what some fucker did the other day?
What?
Fucking scratched it up with a diamond ring by designer Tobias Wong.
Oh, man, that's fucked up.
Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of shit fucked with it.
They should be fucking killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.

<![CDATA[Intelligent Vibrations...For Phones That Is]]> Toshiba scientists have come up with a unique way to make your cellphone vibrate. A pressure sensor inside a flip phone will detect how much pressure is being put on the phone and will adjust the vibration for an incoming call accordingly. So if you're some snobby emo-kid wearing women's jeans, the phone will vibrate lightly. If however you threw it in your baggy sweatpants' pocket, it will shake and rumble until you answer it or the richter scale picks it up. I'm down since I'm always missing calls due to subtle vibrations from my cellphone. The technology is designed for flip-phones currently, but other ideas are apparently in the works.

<![CDATA[With This Ring, I Thee Rock]]> Why propose to the woman of your dreams in person when Luke Jerram has invented a wedding ring that does it all for you? Jerram spent three months figuring out how to etch his message— I love you for ever. Marry me. —onto a silver ring using a diamond stylus that mimics a record player. It required 100lb of pressure instead of the normal 10lb for vinyl. But his experiment was so successful that he is now looking for a partner to create a battery-powered version of the ring and market it to the masses. He s got to support the new family somehow.
