Antworks Space Age Ant Farm

If you have ever fancied owning an aquarium, but thought it would be too much work, then the Antworks space-age ant farm could be just for you.

Based on a NASA experiment to study how ants tunnel in zero-g, the Antworks ant farm is a stylish and self contained environment for ants.

The transparent housing is filled with a special nutrient rich gel which, not only gives your ants everything they need for a healthy life but also relieves you of the responsibility of having to feed or water them.

The kit doesn't include the ants themselves, but does include an ant catching kit and mail order vouchers for ants if you really can't be bothered.

And one last thing to answer a lot of questions: Apparently the Gel can be re-used time & time again, and most ants live up to 6 months.

Double Slanket
Sometimes things go beyond all logical understanding at Pointless But Cool. The Double Slanket is so pointless we struggled to find even a novelty use for it!

Blow Bot
When we were asked to look at something called a "Blow Bot" our first answer was that we don't review adult toys. Turns out that Blow Bot is in fact an inflatable remote controlled robot. Not what we were thinking at all!

Banana Guard
What every fruit eater needs. A banana guard. Stop over ripening and brusing.

Robomow
OK, are you ready? Got the hammock set-up? Beer cool? Soft music on? Then we'll begin -

Selector Mug
Never again will you need to talk to anyone in your workplace...

Walkstation
Now you can walk on a treadmill, and check your emails. What more could you want?

Cube World
Cube World - A pixelated world where stick people live, play and interact with you and other cubes! Let them play leap frog, or beat each other up, let the games begin!

Deluxe Lunar Space Suit
What do you do if you see a space man? Park in it, dude! Ever done that thing where you walk around in slow motion, pretending to be a space man..? Then now your dreams have come true!!

Clock T Shirt
How to stop people asking you the time when walking the street. They will be able to tell you as the digital display is right in front of them. Of course, how many people do not have a watch or a phone/iPod which would tell them? You wouldn't set the time wrong to confuse them, would you? But it's fun.

Darth Tater
Darth Tater is the unholy alliance between innocent root vegetable and star wars super-villain. Not the most obvious combination maybe, but one that could almost have been invented by this site!
