Every since I was a little boy I had a love and fascination of gadgets. Most men and boys do. Why? Here is a true, life story.

When I was young, digital watches were new. TV ads showcased many digital watches because they were so popular. The week, day, month, and date were displayed on the watch. If I had a watch like that, I no longer had to walk over to the calendar to know the date. All I would have to do is look at my new digital wristwatch. How easy was that?!

The watch that really caught my eye had an alarm. As a young boy, that was especially cool. It could be set to go off whenever I wanted. It was awesome to have an alarm with me since it was part of my wristwatch.

This watch also had a stopwatch. Now, my friends and I could time our races. This was a feature used a lot since it was convenient and easy to use.

All those features were great, but there was one feature that beat them all and no other regular analog watch at the time could do. It had a light that allowed me to see the time at night.

What makes a watch gadget so cool?
– Convenience—attached to my wrist and always with me
– Easier lifestyle—built in calendar and light
– Fun Features—alarm and stopwatch unique to that era
– Cool—stylish like James Bond

As time went by, watches grew in features. They came in smaller packages and added functionality such as a calculator. I did use this feature but it was more of a cool thing just to know that any combination of numbers someone threw at me could be added quickly. When they came out with the databanks, I definitely had to get one! Now all my phone numbers and important dates could be stored. They no longer had to be remembered on my own.

Going to stores to see the latest cool watch features was a must. As an adult, it is still enjoyable to see what new features are being developed and how enticing it may be to buy a new and improved one.

Once a gadget is liked, interest in the next upgrade, functionality, and features usually occurs. Some watch added additions are atomic timers, water resistance, multiple alarms, altimeters, compasses, barometers, remote controls, TV tuners, MP3 players, MP4 players, AVI players, cell phones, heart rate monitors, and solar power.

We have talked about watches as a cool gadget and have came up with a working definition. Now let us try this definition with something else—pocketknives. Why do guys love pocketknives?
They are cool gadgets! Pocketknives have:
– Convenience—always with you
– Makes life easier—handy blade to open bags, boxes, etc.
– Fun Feature—mini scissors
– Cool—compact

Some gadgets may have one or more of the above definitions; however if a gadget has all four, you can be assured that it is a cool gadget.

In this fast paced and stressful life that we often lead, one can have the tendency to forget how to laugh. The adage ‘laughter is the best medicine’ could well be true as there is strong evidence to suggest that laughter can actually improve health. I have read that laughter therapy (also known as psycho-neuroimmunology) can actually reduce stress hormone. The psychological benefits of humour are being recognised in the healthcare field. People often store negative emotions, such as anger, sadness and fear, rather than expressing them. Laughter provides a way for these emotions to be harmlessly released. Laughter is cathartic. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being.

There are of course many reasons why a person laughs, but it is often as a response to what is said and what is seen. When choosing a gift for your friend or family member, would it not be an excellent idea to buy a funny gift, joke gift or a gag gift. Of course the funnier the gift, the bigger and louder the laugh! In this short article I want to highlight 5 top amusing and affordable funny gifts.

Executive Gentlemen’s Ball Scratcher- this really is the ultimate funny gift for men, boyfriends or husbands. This is definitely the present for the man who has everything! Aimed at the “Busy Male Executive” is the Gentleman’s Ball Scratcher! For the days when your own hands are just not precise enough, the Gentleman’s Ball Scratcher is in the shape of a delicate female hand, for those hard to reach places. The 9 inch handle provides excellent extra length to help get around difficult obstacles (beer bellies, old pizza, empty beer cans etc.) and provide the relief so many crave…not he can do it with style. This is most certainly not a gift for the ladies.

Crazy 8 Ball- the crazy 8 ball is perfect for those who play ball but often looses. This 2 inch diameter ball feels and looks exactly like a normal Pool ball but it has one fun difference which makes it wobble and go in all directions except the one intended. Just watch the amazement on your opponents face, as after you have discretely substituted the 8 Ball, he tries his pot! A really fun gift idea that will give you many laughs.

Remote Controlled Fart Machine- We all remember the good old fashioned Whoopee Cushion don’t we? Now take this hilarious farting gag to a whole new level with this remote controlled fart machine. The remote works at impressive distances and the machine produces a variety of realistic sounds, from polite little “boom-sa-lars” to a “morning after baked beans” trumpet.

USB Missile Launcher- The ultimate weaponry gadget in office warfare, the USB controlled Missile Launcher with sound effects is controlled by your PC and fires foam darts. Next time someone annoys you, take aim, and fire. Your PC can control the aim and will also fire the dart.

Beer Alarm- Protect you precious pint with this Beer Burglar Alarm System. Attach the little “sucker” to the side of you beer glass or bottle, set the proximity alert and walk away. Whenever someone comes within 30cm (12 inches) of your beer the mafia style voice alert sounds: “Keepa Da Hands off ma BEER!” The alarm can go off as a Siren or as the Mafia Voice.

These are only a minute handful of the large range of funny gifts available. However, one common purpose they should all have, is to make the person laugh.

In a world that is experiencing a rise in diseases such as autism, asthma, cancer and birth defects, it is time to evaluate the toxic chemicals that are in our homes and our diets. The National Environment Trust reported that the amount of toxic chemicals in the home is increasing at a rapid rate, exposed to individuals through their mouth, skin and lungs. Even organically grown foods have a very small percentage of chemical contamination allowed within their guidelines.

New Health Gadget Designed to Prevent Deadly Diseases

A newly designed health gadget, the Lotus Sanitizing System is designed with two main goals. The first is to remove and kill any and all pesticides and germs on the food that is eaten by your family. The second is to disinfect surfaces that your family touches on a daily basis. These two goals are accomplished with the use of simple tap water and the chemical free products that make up the Lotus Sanitizing System.

This revolutionary new system provides a natural and chemical free way to free your family from harmful chemicals in their daily diet and your home. It takes ozone molecules and infuses them into ordinary tap water. Ozone is an unstable molecule made up of three oxygen atoms (03). This creates a natural sterilizing agent that destroys bacteria and other microorganisms. The ozonated Lotus water is safe to use on food, skin and even your baby’s toys.
