My favorites are:
The $199 flashlight: Wicked Lasers Torch - Every home needs a flashlight for emergencies, but in the case of the Wicked Lasers Torch, the flashlight was probably the cause of the emergency. That's because the Torch shines at a ridiculous 4100 lumens, making it hot enough to scramble eggs, light matches and set paper on fire. Plus, the battery only lasts 5 minutes not very practical, but more than enough time to do serious damage. The power may be out, but thanks to you the whole neighborhood can see just fine by the light of the blazing inferno that used to be your home.
The $6,000 Japanese toilet: Toto Intelligence Toilet II - Japanese toilet manufacturer Toto is world-renowned for developing toilets with over-the-top functionality. Their latest product in this category, the Intelligence Toilet II, makes going to the bathroom like getting a physical. It can check your blood pressure, BMI and body weight, analyze urine for sugar levels and even help women keep track of their menstruation cycles by measuring urine temperature and hormone levels. When analysis is done, the data is sent wirelessly to a PC where it is stored and graphed for reference. That's right, when you finally have that child you've been longing for, you'll have the toilet to thank which could make for an even more awkward parenting moment when your kids ask, "Where did I come from?"
The $3,500 Chilibed: As a basic concept, the ChiliBed temperature-controlled mattress is actually a great idea. You'll always be toasty in the winter and in the summer you'll have no trouble finding the cool side of the pillow. Plus, two occupants can control their side of the bed independently. The problem lies with the extreme temperature range of the water-based heating elements. The bed can be cooled to 46 degrees Fahrenheit and heated to 118 degrees Fahrenheit. So my wife (who's perpetually cold) can be cremated in her sleep while I (perpetually hot) am cryogenically frozen so that my body can be reanimated during a time with even more advanced bed technology.
