 Greetings fellow geniuses,

 What's that smell? No, it's not the ripe smell of high concentrations
 of greenhouse gases... it's the smell of Spring (mixed with a little
 caffeine anhydrous for good measure).  Not only are we getting warmer
 temperatures, lots of birds and endless rain here at the lovely
 ThinkGeek HQ in downtown Fairfax Virginia, but it's raining some of the
 hippest new products we've seen in... oh, about thirty-one million
 seconds. Now, before we lose any more Time Profit, let's get on with
 it...

 ** Background Music for <I>YOUR</I> Life **
 Does your life seem dull and uninteresting compared to the drama and
 action of movies and television? The problem is your real life
 experiences just don't have the needed dramatic soundtrack to back them
 up. Fortunately we've developed the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt. This
 amazing new wearable audio solution features a working speaker embedded
 into the front of the shirt. When you push the appropriate button on
 the pocketable remote you get music or sound effects appropriate for
 any situation.

 ** Amazing Virtual Pee Experience from Japan **
 Normally ThinkGeek doesn't carry video games, but we were so blown-away
 by Super Pii Pii Brothers that we immediately got our trusted Japanese
 importer on the phone and arranged to bring over a limited quantity of
 this amazing Wii game. Prepare yourself by strapping on the included
 belt harness and jacking in your Wiimote. Get as much pee in the
 onscreen toilets as you can while spilling as little on the floor as
 possible. Super Pii Pii Brothers promotes good bathroom skills and
 allows women to experience for the first time the pleasure of urinating
 while standing.

 ** The World's First USB Pregnancy Test Kit **
 We love our geeky customers. The only way you could be better would be
 if there were more of you. Since cloning is frowned upon, you'd better
 get busy. Now you can get simple and more accurate results analyzing
 your procreation success with pTeq's USB Pregnancy Test Kit. This kit
 displays your levels of hCG, hCG-H, and LH to provide you with the full
 spectrum of your cycle. Can also be used as a fertility monitor. All
 you need is a free USB port and two X chromosomes.

 ** ZapCam - YouTube Tazer - Don't Taze AND Film Me, Bro **
 A wise man (Mel Brooks) once said, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger.
 Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die." Updating that for
 the new millennium, you get, "Tragedy is when I make a typo. Comedy is
 when you get 60,000V of electricity pumped through you and I catch it
 all on camera." And then we at ThinkGeek take it to the next level: the
 ZapCam not only films who you taze, but it will upload the video (via a
 Bluetooth 2.0 connection to your cell phone) straight onto YouTube.
 Now, not only do you have evidence proving you acted in self defense,
 but you also have one hilarious video - ready to become viral and earn
 you your fifteen minutes of fame. Hey, don't say we've never given you
 anything - because those 15 minutes are priceless.

 ** Cap'n Buzz Spazztroids - Caffeinated Breakfast Cereal! **
 Hyper-sweetened and hyper-caffeinated, Cap'n Buzz's Spazztroids is the
 world's greatest breakfast cereal. You'll love the taste and you'll
 love the 180mg of caffeine per bowl even more. Seriously, you always
 see in cereal commercials the words "part of a balanced breakfast," but
 why should you have to also always eat cereal, toast, juice, and coffee
 to get the stuff your body needs? Who has time for that? Spazztroids is
 a complete breakfast all in one bowl! You'll get the vitamins and
 nutrients of cereal, toast, and juice - plus the caffeine of one-and-a-
 half cups of strong coffee. It saves you time, it charges you up, and
 it gives you the greatest chemical byproduct since Spider-Man:
 caffeinated milk!

 ** Betamax to HD-DVD Converter - Digital Convergence On The Cheap !! **
 Here at ThinkGeek, we've recently stumbled across a deal that was
 simply too nifty to be veritable! For only $29.99, you can now archive
 all those old Betamax tapes in that box in your parent's basement
 directly to HD-DVD media. Absitively Brilltastic! You know the tapes we
 are talking about, right? The ones with you and your corduroy OP shorts
 on and your bowl cut riding your sweet bike with the banana seat
 (without a helmet of course)?  And if you are so inclined, you can even
 archive your HD-DVD disks back to Betamax for that old-world analog
 vibe you've come to trust.

 ** Defendius Labyrinth Security Lock - The Ultimate Security Lock **
 In video games, there is one inescapable rule: important doors are not
 easy to open. Normally, you have to collect many different colored key
 cards, hunt out shards of crystals, or press buttons in certain
 combinations. Time to apply that law (and its associated quests) to the
 special doors in your life with this 100% titanium alloy security lock.
 Each time you lock or unlock your door, you'll have to journey through
 the labyrinth - adding a little bit of excitement to your ordinary
 existence. You can pretend you're disarming a bomb, opening a spectral
 gateway, or just, well, unlocking your door. Solve the Defendius
 Labyrinth Security Lock and open the door to the next level...of your
 life.
