    As a kid, I had a toy Tribble that looked just like that, and would purr if you pet it, or squeal if you shook it.


    It cost far less than $5000!

    BTW - it was many of these sci-fi series that inspired today's gadgets. If you can't see a tie between the two, look harder.

    @MacJedi: If there already isn't one, I shall invent the furry vibrator inspired by the Tribble.


    I also have a midget that was installed into my drywall to open doors for me and go, "shhht", when he does it. Although, he hasn't been doing it in a while even when I pound on the wall. Do those things need to be fed?

    I've already got two actual-factual tribbles. They aren't 100% true to canon but they are tribbles nonetheless.




    Klingons fear them.

    @OMG! Ponies!: You cruel, cruel, man. Can't you see your cat has clearly outgrown its printer? For a cat of such considerable girth, anything less than an HP LaserJet is borderline inhumane.

    I have about a dozen of these, assorted sizes/colors, purchased a few years ago at The Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas. Well, they started out as a dozen; they've since taken over three storage lockers and an adjacent Yugo.


    Anyway, for the bargain price of only 50 bucks, I'll "authorize" one for you with any damn signature you'd like. Free first-class shipping. Offer void if Klingon.

    I don't want to sound off-topic or like a douche bag, but... what is with all the Stark Trek and Battle Star Galactica (or whatever) stuff? Hardly any of it has to do with gadgets, and just because some of you guys like watching doesn't mean everybody who uses gadgets does. Can't we just keep the gadget blog about gadgets?

    I've got some sand here from Tatooine... starting bid $1000. I've also got some snow from Hoth; a piece of metal that is part of the Death Star wreckage; and a furry miniature bear from Endor.

    @Aldeezy: It was an episode where Kirk's toupee was possessed by the demon high priestess of the city alpha five savages where it eventually took over the ship, killed Scotty (who later was brought back to life thanks to an exotic reptilian mushroom two episodes later) and found the secret to the space time continuum, only to be swallowed up by their own greed and hacked out by an Abyssinian ruler that was in heat who granted control of the enterprise back to star fleet. It was one of their better episodes, actually. And, by the way, the Google folks are Marxist, not communist.

    I would think this would be perfect for a cat. I am not sure if they would play with it or cower in fear, but either way, I smell some good video.

    When I was in vegas, the Hilton had/has a Star Trek experience with Quarks bar, etc. The gift shop had massive amounts of these things in those wire baskets. I can not tell you how much fun it was to push down on 60 or 70 of these things in a basket, and have them all start cooing and wriggling around.
