6:30AM August 2, 2008 | Sean Fallon

Japanese manufacturer Kotobukiya unveiled these awesome Lightsaber chopsticks at last week’s Celebration Japan–a huge event that marked the 30th anniversary of the Japanese Star Wars premiere. Unfortunately, there is no word on a pricing or release date for the chopsticks, but if they ever make it on sale in the States I will never use a fork again.

It is so simple it will make you cry about all those embarrassing times you could have easily avoided—a receptacle for the spoon actually built into the bowl. Pure genius.

Magic Teaspoon Miraculously Shape Shifts in Hot Water

5:45AM December 29, 2007 | Charlie White

A small part of this magic teaspoon’s handle is made of Nitinol, a special metal that can remember its shape. That little fact lets you play some crazy tricks, because when you heat it up, it bends to that shape that you bent it into before. So if you put this in your tea, for example, it suddenly and mysteriously starts bending. Run cool water on it, and it moves right back where it was before. This might be great for some of those Uri Geller spoon bending tricks, except this one does all the bending on its own. You better be pretty serious about this, though, because it costs $US50.38.
