More than a third of Americans believe in UFOs, and one in ten Americans believe that they have seen a UFO, according to a study by National Geographic Channel. UFO sightings are reported all over the planet by thousands of people. The real question is whether UFOs are interstellar vehicles visiting Earth. Most UFO sightings can be classified as misidentified aircraft, planets, or other aerial phenomena, but not all of them. There is a small percentage of UFO sightings that can’t be explained by any known aircraft or natural phenomena. It is this small percentage of UFO sightings that creates an exciting possibility. Over the years, real UFO sightings have reported simultaneous electromagnetic disturbances. The UFO Detector is designed to sense these electromagnetic disturbances and signal their detection, flashing sixteen LEDs simultaneously and beeping. The elegantly designed, transparent plastic case is a handsome, sculptured conversation piece that allows one to see the electronics inside. Suitable for display on a desk, shelf, or bedroom dresser. Size is approximately 3 inches in diameter by 4.25 inches tall. Uses a 6V wall transformer (included).

They’re here
By George Takei, May 29, 2013
I purchased this gizmo to play a prank on my husband Brad, who still prattles on about his “fourth-kind” encounter when he was just thirteen. (The fourth kind involves a probe, if you’re wondering. I keep saying it was likely his redneck neighbor dressed as ET, but that possibility is too dreadful for him to truly accept.) On the anniversary of Brad’s alleged abduction, I placed the device by our bedside, then set up an electromagnetic wave generator under the bed, with a timer to go off right at midnight. (If you’re wondering where to get one, I recommend the SkyMall catalog. I also picked up some motivational posters and fake garden rock speakers to save on shipping. You’re welcome.) But back to my prank. It was all set to go, and I was as giddy as a six-year-old waiting for Santa. But like a typical six-year-old, I fell asleep before the damn thing went off. I awoke to the flashing of multiple LEDs from the UFO-02 Detector and bolted up, eager to see Brad’s petrified face. Aha! But Brad wasn’t there. In fact, I wasn’t even in our bedroom anymore. Instead, I stood face-to-face with Leonardo da Vinci. Or perhaps it was Professor Dumbledore; I’m not really certain. In either event, it was a manifestation that the being I shall call the “Intelligence” had determined my brain would most easily accept for deliverance of The Message. You see, the Intelligence had come to convey to us humans that the Imperative was nigh, that what we loosely dub the Singularity was only the beginning of a limitless existence unbounded by physical space and time and that sugar-free alternatives are actually WORSE for us than the real deal. He made sure that last point was clear by making me repeat it twice. When I came to, Brad was sound asleep in his tin-foil hat, the UFO-02 detector was gone, and, sure enough, all of my Splenda had been replaced with little brown raw sugar packets. When I tried to tell Brad about Leonardo/Dumbledore and The Message, he rolled over away from me, grumbling that I shouldn’t eat so much ice cream or any dairy product before bed.

One Star is Too Much for This Product

I don’t know if this is a scam or if mine was broken, but it doesn’t work and I am still getting abducted by UFOs on a regular basis.

Works TOO well!
By Maz James, June 19, 2012
This product is lovely. It goes off every time that an alien is in the vicinity. The only problem is I can’t seem to find a way to turn it off. It’s rather too much when my friend John Smith comes over. He was trying to show me this lovely old police box, but this alarm would not shut off long enough for him to explain what it was that he was showing me. He must have some alien powder on him or something. I don’t need my friends disturbed because this thing thinks they’re an alien! It would be especially bad because John has volunteered to take me on an adventure to “see the stars.” (I think he’s taking me to a planetarium.)

The Greatest Threat to Mankind
By G.C. “Serious Reviews for Serious People”, January 30, 2008
It appears as though most of the reviews for this item are intended to be funny. I guess it is human nature to make light of that which we do not understand or that which we fear. However, UFOs and the dangers they present are no laughing matter. This is a serious device designed for a serious purpose. For some unknown reason, certain individuals are often targeted by alien beings on a repeated basis. Once you have been abducted, your chances for re-abduction increase significantly. Most of my clients are repeat abductees. One of my clients, who is only 33 years old, has been abducted 7 times in the past 4 years. They are crippled by their anxiety, wondering when the next attack will be, wondering when the aliens may decide to keep their unwilling subject for good. Do you think my client is laughing about this device? No. This device is far beyond a mere novelty. It gives my client the peace of mind that nothing else could provide. When it detects the presence of a possible UFO, my client is given ample warning to hide where the aliens cannot find him. You may laugh and buy this product as a joke, and I suppose that is all fine and good. But to those of you who have fallen victim to the aliens, I would like to reassure you that this product really does work. You can have your life back and sleep soundly again knowing that when you wake up, it will be in your own bed (or wherever you fell asleep last), and not on an examination table in an alien spacecraft. Alien abduction is no laughing matter. Shame on those of you who would mock the victims of this cruel act. May you never NEED a device like this.

In which dimensions does this detector operate?
The Eighth, of course.

Very reliable. The UFO-02 Detector was able to give me a quick enough warning that I managed to grab my digital camera and snap this shot of a UFO from my backyard.
Outlook for Wood Toilet Seats in Greater China
Check out the real thing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001T44Z0W
3.6 out of 5 stars
Name: The 2009-2014 Outlook for Wood Toilet Seats in Greater China (Paperback)
ASIN: B001T44Z0W
Price: $470.25
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for wood toilet seats across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang/Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as “regions”). Latent demand (in millions of US dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of “economic population,” as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger than the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the western regions. For the coastal regions, cities close to other major cities or that represent, by themselves, a high percentage of the regional population, actual city-level population is cl
oser to the economic population (e.g., in Beijing). Based on this “economic” definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city’s marketing and distribution value vis-à-vis others.

Look for my audiobook version, coming soon
By George Takei, May 22, 2013
For years I have searched for the perfect audio book project. Shogun some friends suggested. War and Peace I’ve considered. Or perhaps Green Eggs and Ham. But it wasn’t until I stumbled, quite by chance, across The 2009-2014 Outlook for Wood Toilet Seats in Greater China that I knew. I KNEW. Sure, the title and the first few hundred pages may seem off-putting. “What the f*** is this?” Brad demanded, just 20 pages in. “It’s like some kind of terrible grad school thesis.” But right around page 375, the OFWTSIGC (2009-14) becomes a white-knuckled, roller coaster of emotions—the sort we expect from world class thrillers. Indeed, just when you think the author has exhausted his dear readers, after what seems an unimaginably methodical survey of mainland China’s wood toilet seat projections, he reminds us, ever so artfully, about GREATER China. Taiwan. Macao. Hong Frigging Kong. Now, admittedly, the near $500 price may be a bit daunting, but on a per-word basis, it’s quite a bargain. And imagine its uses! Senate filibusters will never be the same. OFWTSIGC (2009-14) also makes a terrific Father’s Day gift for that dad who “thinks” he has everything. This will show him, huh.

WARNING—**NOT** a Microsoft product!!!!
By 5318008, November 30, 2010
I was thinking, “Sweet! Finally a version of Outlook that will run on my wooden Chinese toilet seats!!” Little did I know this has **NOTHING** to do with Outlook for Windows or any other Microsoft product. It is NOT a five-year wooden-toilet email/calendar software product, but is in fact some kind of WELL-DONE REPORT ON TOILET SEATS!! By coincidence still entirely useful to me in my line of business, but now I will have to find some other way to coordinate my interseat schedules and emails!! Buyer beware!! Outlook for Wood Toilet Seats in Greater China. I am so happy the price seems reasonable. I’m thinking Amazing Anniversary Present!!!!!!

Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank
Check out the real thing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00067F1CE
3.6 out of 5 stars
Name: JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank
ASIN: B00067F1CE
Price: Currently unavailable
The JL421 Badonkadonk is a completely unique, extremely rare land vehicle and battle tank. Designed with versatility in mind, the Donk can transport cargo or a crew of five, internally or on the roof, and can be piloted from within the armored shell or from an exposed standing position through the hatch, thanks to special one-way, steel-mesh-armor windows and a control stick that pivots up and down to allow piloting from the standing or seated positions. The interior is fully carpeted and cozy, with accent lighting and room for up to five people. A 400-watt premium sound system with PA is mounted to project sound both into the cabin and outward from behind the windows. The exterior is a steel shell with a rust patina and features head and tail lights, turn-signal lights, trim lighting, underbody lighting, fixed slats protecting the windows, and a unique, industrial-strength, rubberized flexible skirt that shields and protects the wheels to within an inch of the ground while still allowing for enough flex to give clearance over bumpy and uneven terrain. Master power, ignition, all lighting, and stereo features are controlled from a single switchboard to the left of the driver, again accessible from either the seated or standing positions. Standard drive is an air-cooled, 6hp Tecumseh gasoline (unleaded only) engine, with centrifugal clutch, giving the Donk a top speed of 40 mph. This vehicle is not licensed for use on public roads and is intended as a recreational vehicle only. Badonkadonks are produced on an order-by-order basis, with each one having its own unique set of features. With your order are included unlimited consultations with the designer and manufacturer concerning all relevant options (a representative from NAO will contact you shortly after your order). Price does not include shipping and handling.

Finally, a tank you can trust
By Thomas Dunham “Los Pepes”, December 1, 2005
I’ll admit it. Shopping for a personal tank can be a bit daunting. Many times in the past I’ve purchased overpriced, so-called “battle tanks,” then driven them into battle only to be wrecked in ten minutes by the first blow off of some insurgent’s homemade mortar. But not this baby, no way. This tank R-O-C-K-S! Literally. The 400-watt sound system keeps me rockin like a crazy man as I’m dishing out justice commando style. Wow. I just can’t say enough. And the kids love it, too—imagine the look of terror in the eyes of the enemy as I’m dropping off my kid’s team to their soccer game. Shock and awe, my friends, SHOCK AND AWE! I had NAO install the optional GPS-guided white phosphorus missile system, and talk about *SWEET*! Burn, baby, burn!!! Oh, it also has plenty of room for groceries, and if you need to like move a loveseat or something, it’ll fit if you use a little bungee cord. The only real negative with this tank is that it shows up on radar a little more than I like (although there is a polyresin graphite stealth model available). Also, the included spare isn’t full size. Overall, a great tank.
Works great for amphibious assaults.
Fits nicely into car-sized parking spaces.

Practical, affordable, stylish and most of all, fun to drive
By Joanna Daneman, July 1, 2006
Some people have sticker shock when they see the price of the Badonkadonk, but what did they expect? A tank for the price of a Kia? Come on! Let’s be reasonable! If you were considering a Hummer, you’d have to cough up around fifty grand. Or more. This bad boy is cheap at $19k, and even my Hyundai cost more than that. This is a stone bargain, make no mistake. Considering the driving habits of the locals in my area, I decided that trading in my sedan was probably a good idea, in fact, something that would improve my health more than eating broccoli and drinking green tea. For one thing, there is little armor on my rice burner, and one local pastime here is for SUV drivers to trundle aimlessly through stop signs while clamping their cellphones tightly to their ears, probably to avoid hearing my horn blaring and some choice swears, too. One woman in a silver SUV seems to have a fatwa against me or else a death-wish—she’s run the stop sign right by my house twice while I was in the intersection, and once it was on a very rainy day and she had her kids in the car. Rather than call child protective services or the police, I decided to drive more defensively. Now I cross intersections with confidence, knowing SUVs, women ignoring the road while yapping into their cell phones, possums, and even Hummer limousines are hapless against the front prow of my Badonkadonk. The cow-catcher design is not only aerodynamic, it is quite effective at lifting stray cattle right out of the way. As to the interior comfort, it leaves a lot to be desired. Since the hull has few windows or vents, you have to run the A/C a lot, and this cuts down on the mileage quite a bit. However, we converted the gasoline engine to a biodiesel that runs on bacon drippings, rancid popcorn butter, fry oil, and suntan lotion, so it’s really quite economical to run. For urban driving, the Badonkadonk is terrific; equipped with an upgraded 400-terawatt subwoofer, it strikes terror wherever it goes. When we get stalled on the George Washington Bridge, we pull out the lounge chairs and watch reruns of Knight Rider on the
DVD player. The Badonkadonk comes with Sirius radio standard, but we pulled it out and replaced it with XM, because we like Opie and Anthony a lot more than Howard Stern. But we’re weird that way. For suburban jobs like hauling home a gas grill from Home Despot, this can’t be beat—plenty of cargo room if you pull out the troop benches and the land torpedo loaders. Mad Max Rust is not my favorite shade; I’d prefer candy apple red or basic black. Options like the flame thrower, vegetable crisper, and margarita machine are nice to have but add a lot to the base price. We opted for the luxury package with DVD player, inversion table, and badminton court, and it was well worth the extra expense. Remember that the optional flame thrower is not available in California, Arizona, or New Mexico (duh!), and they are not sold in Maine, Vermont, Wisconsin, or Oregon.

Worth 10X the price
By Ron Dansley “Ronnie D.”, August 8, 2007
I was skeptical at first…can you really buy a tank and be allowed to drive it around town? Turns out that “legally” you can’t. But it does have some other great benefits:
Every single person I have had an issue with is now afraid of me. It’s not that quiet respect kind of thing either; these people are petrified of me. My neighbors used to get mad when the dog “Wally” would use their yard as a bathroom—not anymore. In fact, they don’t get mad when I do it either.
