A set of tiny hands
"There aren't enough words to express my gratitude for these tiny hands," says one Amazon reviewer. "They have made me closer with my friends, they have brought me peace of mind, and, most importantly, they have strengthened my relationship with God."
"...the night breeze is cool on my bony armor...I sleep in a tide pool by day protected by vigilant trigger fish..these claws have opened a whole new vista of existence...highly recommended..."
"Please note that this Daddle is Western Style and will not be appropriate for those trained in the English Father Riding Method whereby one holds a rein in each hand and posts the trot. If you are looking forward to father jumping, father fox hunting, father polo or daddy dressage you will not be able to use this Daddle."

This big book of random numbers
This book, A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates, was written by the RAND Corporation in the 1950s to provide "high quality" random numbers for research workers to use.
One Amazon reviewer warns, however, that the book falls short in delivering a million digits: "They only used 10, and just kept repeating them in different combinations! Don't be fooled!"

A UFO detector (that probably won't find aliens)
This item has terrible range, warns Amazon reviewer Peter, and is inadequate as an early alien abduction warning system.
"I woke up in the ship as I was being probed. And this stupid product was beeping. It kept beeping the whole time that I was being probed by every single crewman."

The perfect way for lazy parents to clean the floor
"My floors have never been cleaner," raves Amazon reviewer Victor G. about this baby-powered cleaning invention. "The only problem is that my child has outgrown the suit and I am having to rent children from the neighborhood to keep the floors clean."

A steering-wheel mounted desk for your car
"You wouldn't believe how much more interesting my commute is now that I have something to do other than just stare out the window!" explains Amazon reviewer Michael McCollough in an abbreviated review of this tray. "I'm using it right now to post this review and I never"

This book of dinosaur erotica
Amazon reviewer HP explains the lure of this weird Kindle book: "I bought this because I wanted to see how the sex would work between a giant lizard and a human sized female."

Dancing with Cats: The book
"My cat was never a dancer," laments Kristi in a Amazon review of this odd book about cat dancing. "I read this book to my cat every night for one year. She cried through most of it. She still won't dance with me."

An 8-pound bag of cereal marshmallows
"It all started when the bags were emptied on the kitchen table," one Amazon reviewer writes. "I was naive, I saw no problems -- it's just a bunch of marshmallows, right?"
But weeks later, the reviewer's marshmallow gift had turned into a curse for its recipient: "I found him in a house on the wrong side of town with some unsavory characters who had been following him and 'the medicine bag' around the sugar scene for the last few weeks."

The Licki, a tongue-shaped cat brush
"Obviously, the cat was on my property, and I can lick anything that I want on my property," says Mavin Johnson in a somewhat unhinged Amazon review of this mouth-held cat brush. "Plus, I am using protection, as this silicone barrier prevents the spread of disease."

A giant gummy 'party python'
More than just a 26-pound snack, this gummy snake will become part of your family, writes Amazon reviewer browning. "I can happily report that the Monty and I are doing quite well. We share a gummy rat each week and his shine is back. I have placed several heat lamps in his play area to keep him warm and supple."
"When I received this my wife was at work. I waited until she was getting ready for work the next morning and put it on with my face right in front of hers while she was blow drying her hair with her eyes closed. When she opened them and saw me she screamed like I've never heard her scream and punched me in the arm. Hard. So yeah, it's a great quality mask."

These sugar-free gummi bears that might cause severe intestinal distress
"I ate six of these things to aid along in digestion," writes Amazon reviewer Erin. "The good news is my digestive system is back on track. The bad news is I will never eat another gummy bear and may have flushed part of my soul down the toilet."

A children's book that needs a spoiler warning
"There is no conflict, there is no character development, and there is scarcely any plot," warns Amazon reviewer PacMan about the book Where Is Baby's Belly Button?
"Whoever wrote this book must have a serious error in judgement, because you would have to be an infant to not immediately understand where Baby's belly button is."

The infamous Three Wolf Moon shirt
"Once I apply the magical wolves fabric to my chest, my mullet grew like Odin's beard, my rusted T-top Firebird turned sweet candy apple red and my White Snake tape started playing its body moving melodies once again," writes Amazon reviewer Scott. "God, life is good!"

This cereal that claims you'll 'Poop Like a Champion'

A can filled with top quality Wi-Fi
When Amazon asked Rick to describe the flavor of this item in a review, this was the response: "It tastes aluminum (sic), salt from my friends tears, and adhesive. The Wi-Fi inside tasted of distilled energy wavelengths and produced a radiological flavor profile that was quite satisfying."
