2008 Christmas list #0000001

Anyone out there trying to find the perfect Christmas present for me (surely you all are?) need look no further, as always, eBay has the answer.

Full size replica Roman siege catapult

Built for a TV special, this working Ballista weighs 12 tons and is about 7.5m high. I'm sure for the extra £17.5k their asking to put it up, they can find a way to squeeze it into my garden.

Christmas wishlist #2: Gibson Robot Guitar

A self tuning Les Paul? Yes please!

I know you want to spend $2,499 on me. Anyway, that's only about 2p with the current exchange rate and I'll even let you watch it self tune. Once. Then you will have to leave. And don't open door once i've shut it.

Is it nearly Christmas yet?

If it is, then it's ok to start adding stuff to a wish list, right?

First new entry this year is the Sega Toys Dream Cat Smile. Yes I know I have real cats, but a cute little robotic one appeals to the geek and the cat owner in me, plus it's only $80 on GeekStuff4U.com. which is less than I'd expect a distant relative to spend satiating my need for crap electronics.
