Toilet Seat Scale Makes You Feel Five Pounds Lighter
The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning before you eat and, preferably, after you have used the bathroom. That's where the toilet seat scale comes in. More »

Bun-In-The-Oven Scale Shows How Pregnant She Really Is
As if her expanding belly—among two other bigger, more fantastic body parts—isn't proof enough to show you how pregnant your baby mama is, the Bun-In-The-Oven Scale will remind your woman of her pregnancy journey, via expanding waistline images, every time she has gained another 20 pounds—that's one ginormous baby! Oh, and did we mention that when you buy this $95 scale, you also get a new bed? Yes, we're talking about that dingy old couch in the living room with that really uncomfortable spring sticking out.

Weighing Seat: A Chair That Weighs Fatties, Farts
As if you didn't already feel fat enough, how does sitting on a chair that doubles as a scale sound? Indeed, the Weighing Seat concept from the design team at Atypyk reminds you of how fat you are getting every time you sit down to eat. It could very well be the most effective diet you have ever been on. Either that, or it will force you to start eating your meals standing up. But look on the bright side, you can finally start weighing your farts. Ever been curious about that? What, just Jason and I? Come on guys, admit it. [Atypyk via Likecool]

CNet Scoring System Analyzed; 70% of all gadgets between 6.0 and 7.9
I've always teased friends at CNet about their rating system, which appears to always rate products between 7 and 8, meaning everything is more or less "very good" in score. Ecoustics has done the job of analyzing 1,325 reviews from 2007 (all of them?) and figured out the exact math: 96% of all ratings from last year fell between 5.0 and 8.9; about 70% fall between 6 and 7.9. Maybe CNet should make anything a "CNet 6 or below" a "1", and anything that scores a "CNet 10" a "5". After all, anything below a 6 means DO NOT BUY to me. More »

Paper e-Ink Scale Design Looks Great on Paper, Might Not Be Practical
This e-paper bathroom scale idea from Duck Image Studio seems like a fantastic idea at first. It's e-ink, so it's thin, which means you can embed it into bath mats or floor tiles or maybe even into your shower. Imagine being able to see how much you weigh every time you bathed, or brushed your teeth, or took a leak (men only). You'd develop body image issues in record time. [Yanko Design]

Thankfully, the Eye Level Wireless Scale can help with a handheld or wall mountable remote infrared LCD that displays the weight calculated on the four sensor scale. Never think of those big breasts as a curse again! Available starting tomorrow for $39.98. [Product Page via Random Good Stuff] -

"iPhone" Shaped Pocket Scale Should Win Over Drug Dealers
Hmmm. I wonder why a company would develop a digital pocket scale with a cover shaped like an iPhone knockoff? My guess is that they needed some sort of gimmick to catch the eye of their drug dealer clientele. After all, today's drug dealers have a wide range of choices when it comes to their pocket scales. Companies need to do something to gain a competitive advantage. Oh, and they justify the cover as an "expansion tray," which I'm sure is perfect for various "powders" and "herbs." Available for $52.49. [Product Page] -

Wireless Scale Weighs Food, Acts As a Clock
Although weighing your food is only really important if you're a chubster watching your weight, this wall-mounted digital scale clock can do so much more than tell you how heavy your bananas are. It also locks in place onto the wall, next to the clock, in order to function as a room temperature display. The whole setup is touchscreen and takes 7 AAA batteries, and comes at you with a price of $89. Perfect when you really, really need 4.75 pounds of shrimp. [Hammacher via Coolest Gadgets]

Tanita BC-545 Scale: Learn More About That Flab Than You Really Want to Know
Tanita scales are so cool. But this Tanita Innerscan BC-545 measures a whole lot more than your weight, so much so that the company calls it a Segmental Body Composition Monitor. It can give you readings of how much fat is in each arm, each leg, and of course, that potentially ample repository of adipose tissue (that's blubber in doctor talk), the trunk area. More »
