Wireless extension cords.

Because technology is constantly changing, one of the greatest tools to the do-it-yourselfer is the extension cord. Now you can put anything in any room you want - even outside. Every once in a while, though, a long cord across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful. Sure you could just put a carpet or tape over the cord, but why bother? Let technology solve its own problems. Grab some Wireless Extension Cords, and leave the wires where they belong - somewhere else!

Because I know so many FReepers are technically oriented, I thought you'd find this interesting.

Boy you guys are having fun on April 1st...

[txroadhawg]

Loved this part...

Warning: Even though these microwaves are about as harmful as the leakage from an ordinary microwave oven (not much), do not put computers, televisions, other sensitive electrical equipment, food, liquids, paper, glass, flammable substances, magnets, or living things in between the base and satellite units. Just in case.

[KillTime]

Aww man, you spoiled the fun right away; ought to wait for at least a few "takers".

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Hummm...I dunno. Electricity leaking all over the room, spilling on the floor. Geeks are kind of messy. Do they supply some electron scrubbers so you can clean up the place after using them?

[diverteach]

Boy, the folks who are worried about getting a brain tumor from thier cellphone.

I couldn't see how microwaving power across the room wouldn't nuke everything in between.

This doesn't appear to be an april folls joke either.

[cripplecreek]

Finally I can get rid of my rechargable hammer and not have to worry about dragging 50 foot of extention cord around.

[dighton]

Just the thing for my CD rewinder.

Your neighborhood ambulance chaser would love to insert his business card with every one of these that are shipped ...

[Lee'sGhost]

Excellent price, too.

[Lee'sGhost]

Another nice touch: Look under "Think/Geek on the left hand side of the page.

[Pharmboy]

Boyoboy...I was getting out my credit card and hoping it would be here early next week. Bummer...LOL!

It's really not such a bad idea...Nikola Tesla...invented about a hundred years ago.

Their entire home page is filled with goodies; I want a grow-your-own 1-up mushroom kit:

Grow Your Own 1up Mushroom Kit
Mario's dream is finally here. His insurance was running out because of all his hand injuries - hitting bricks and blocks is tough, you know. But the pain and hospital visits were worth it every time he found an elusive 1up Mushroom. Now, Mario can rest easy and so can you. All you need to add is potting soil and water, and you'll have everything you need to grow your very own 1up Mushroom. And the best part is - it really works! Really. Grow in the included sewer-pipe-shaped flower pot, and you'll have the greatest conversation piece ever. Just keep it nearby; you never know when Bowser or Wario will attack, and you'll need an extra life.

Had more than a few friends ordering the USB Mike Tyson grill last year.

[bkepley]

Yeah. Gimme two!

[Chuck54]

bttt

[Sax]

Crap! I just electrocuded everyone at my pool party!! This ain't good.

[Sax]

electrocuted. Drink coffee first, then post.

[Albion Wilde]

Ping!

[RandallFlagg]

Heh! An upgrade to the old Steven Wright joke:
"The other day, I got a cordless extention cord."

[chemicalman]

Wow! Can you get those on Ebay?

[savedbygrace]

"no suing"

LOL

[George Smiley]

I may just buy several of these.

I've been painting the breakfast nook and the darn cats keep jumping up on the window sills to look at the birds at the backyard feeders. I'm tired of little kitty prints marring the surface of the mostly-dry paint.

A steady stream of microwaves running across each window sill might just be the perfect deterrent for this behavior.

You will need an electron bit bucket.

I thought of another Tech. that you all might be interested in. A company has the leading edge in this tech. I don't know how to post a link but here it is:

http://www.telkonet.com

It is called BPL (Broadband over powerline) or PLC (Power Line Communications). It is catching on big time!

[RoadTest]

Put that wireless extension up cord on the shelf with the left handed screwdrivers, the variagated stop-luntz and the thingamajig!

[Mike Darancette]

Will it effect my tinfoil hat?

[Blowtorch]

Where can I get one? Does it meet OSHA standards?

[Billthedrill]

It won't work as pictured - one of the antennae is turned the wrong way. You're gonna need a left-handed screwdriver to fix it, too.

[Blowtorch]

Please oh please let this be true.

[free_at_jsl.com]

The concept is identical to what Nickola Tesla was trying to accomplish. His dream was to have a network of tesla coils deployed in a manner similar to our current cellular phone infrastructure. Appliances would then use the power without requiring any internal power source (batteries) or any hard connection to utility mains.

P.S. This would make a great gag gift.

[DouglasKC]

Please oh please let this be true.

Try adding one to your cart...

[Scarchin]

Damn! Ya got me!

[jpsb]

You got me, I googled trying to get specs, Good One! I am going to email to a friend.

You are experiencing an overflow problem on the supply unit side. Unplug the unit from the wall and tie an overhand knot in the wall cord. Then plug the unit back in. If there is still an overflow problem, either tighten the knot or repeat the procedure until the overflow ceases.

hahahhahaaha. Sheesh! that's fun!

[steveo]

heh...

[Blowtorch]

I did not know about this site. I have added it to my favorites. $695.00 for a Zulu watch?! Where do I sign up (yeah right). The stonehedge watch is a keeper too, but it's not in stock. Well the pilot watch with a slide rule is only $250...

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Just so I'm clear. Was that overhand knot made to the right or the left?

[Smokin' Joe]

Whichever side the spill is on--as you are facing the unit, although either will work with a little tweaking.

[La Enchiladita]

Otay!
