Prepare to be amused, amazed and bewildered, as we bring you our pick of the weirdest gadgets

Video Game Urinal

When men go to answer nature’s call, they are cruelly left in full view, with nothing much to do except for staring blankly on dull tile or whistle maybe. Well not anymore, as now urination has turned into a fun activity with this innovation. All you have to do is to earn a perfect score and for that, you have to aim accurately with your pee. It might sound like a prank likely to be played on siblings, but this is actually a hygienic process so people don’t spray the urine all over the place. So, instead of lamely concentrating on shoes, now concentrate on a high score.
Selfie Toaster

Make the morning all about Me, Myself and I, as self-obsession just got foody. Posting selfies on Instagram or putting it up as wallpaper, or even getting it printed on cups, is not a big thing. Where do you want to take it next? How about your plates? All you have to do is to send your selfie to Vermont Novelty Toaster Corporation, the founder of selfie toaster and they will make a metal plate of the same impression. Put it in your toaster and the next time it will not only be your bread that pops out but your face will be there as well. Yummy or creepy, you decide.

Sonic Grenade

Hand grenades are awesome, especially when you are the one throwing them. Of course, it is not the same if you are on the receiving end. Sonic grenade work on the same principle but if this device went off you will not lose your limbs but surely lose your sanity. Pull the pin and toss the device into your enemy’s fox hole. And by fox hole, we mean conference room, bedrooms, cubicles or even a stranger car would be fun. After 20 seconds, the machine will generate a high pitch sound that is enough to crush your skulls (we do not mean literally). To get the device to stop, endure the pain, squeeze the handle and insert the pin. Note that this is not a weapon of mass destruction but surely a weapon of mass annoyance.
Robotic Pillow

Are you planning to spend the entire night just tossing and turning or absorbing the spirit of the twilight like a wise owl? Probably not. At a certain point, we all face trouble while sleeping. And since there are many theories behind it, a group of researchers in Netherland believes it is because we are not cuddling enough. Thus, generating the whole concept of Somnox, a breathing robot that is designed to nestle in your arms and make you feel that you have a special person over. Along with that, the unit will also generate soothing sounds, like a heartbeat, lullabies or the music of nature, anything for your comfort. So, say goodbye to sleepless lonely nights and go get yourself a robotic pillow.
Pavlok
If there is anything daunting about Indian commercials, it has to be the story of Mukesh. At a certain point, this advertisement must have hit you and all you want to do is to quit smoking. But in case you are lacking the willpower to do so, just buy Pavlok. This device will zap you every time you try to smoke. It is a wrist band that uses a motion sensor to know when you are smoking or even biting your nails and hits you with an electric shock. Undoubtedly this method is painful as well as costly, but at least, it is much cooler than those nicotine patches.
