A thread for all those cool items that you really have no use for. Starting off this shindig:

An iPhone DSLR adapter? Cool, but if you have DSLR lenses, you probably have a DSLR. So useless, maybe douchey as well.

Well, if you have an iPhone you're already halfway to being a douche. Why not just complete the look? :))

... and you've gone full douche if you're using an iPad to do that.

That's probably how Klaus takes telephoto pictures. He'd explain that it's a superior user experience compared to using a convential camera body... {sarcastic}

Does anyone else not see a security issue there? Yeah, the ipad has been screened and all, but those things are pretty robust. Holding it up like that puts the ipad user within 3 shakes of dealing a pretty serious blow to someone's head.

Just me being paranoid but it still makes me nervous.

...damn, I'm off my game. Which smart ass comment do I make?

Security thread? As opposed to, what? Shoes?
Paranoid? That's full blown irrationality. You seriously think Apple fan boys will want to damage their beloved products?
I'm pretty sure the white haired guy could hold his own in a fight.

New cool but useless item:

Damn cool designs, but following legal issues with the FIA prevent all the posters from being produced. So useless.

Plus I'd imagine several members of the USSS are just out of shot and would be on the guy before the iPad came down for its first blow.
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

At that distance, there is no chance the SS could stop a strike. The only thing that would have to happen is 0bama move to his left, the fence is still a barrier, but too close IMO.

Cuckoo clocks where the cuckoo actually comes out

http://www.cuckooclocks.com/details.asp ... &L=236&V=1

The pics of that one don't show it, but others on the site show it for other clocks.
