<p>Again the Japanese are going crazy. You can only love &#8216;em. No one else has the guts to invent and produce such crazy items. This time it&#8217;s a piggy bank with a face. It might not sound like something new, but this one literally eats your money! It has sensor implanted in the eyes and they react as soon as an object gets close. The Face Bank / piggy bank then starts to open it&#8217;s mouth start chewing. Now this one I got to own.</p>
<p>Take a look at the creepy youtube video.</p>

I have named them Whack Donald&#8217;s, I can&#8217;t seem to find their name in the photo. If anyone out there knows the real name please reply back. My Friend told me that the staff weren&#8217;t too happy of him taking photos of their sign&#8230;..wonder why <img src='http://www.webtwist-design.com/webtwist-design-blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
He went inside and had a meal and even their menus were a big rip off, unfortunately they wouldn&#8217;t allow him to take photos inside.<br />

<p>What would the world look like without those crazy Japanese and their crazy inventions. The newest gadget is called Tuttuki Bako and is basically a video game with a somehow older graphic display then we are used too. Looks kind of like an old calculator display. Today we expect almost realistic like graphics. It seems to me that Nintendo opened up some doors with their new way of getting the gamer psychically active with the Wii system. The Tuttuki Bako is a squared box with a hole on the side where you have to insert your finger and on the front is has a display that will actually show a virtual image of your finger. Then you will interact with the Tuttuki Bako in various ways such. I&#8217;m not quite sure what the games exactly is going to be like but judging from this gametrailer ad it could look like fun. According to what I have read the machine should be available on the market mid November and be around 30$.</p>

<p>The so-called Tuttuki Bako, Tuttuki Box, features a display that shows a digital replica of your finger once you put it into the hole in the right side of the device and start moving. Users can then play with a panda bear or a small figure, explore a “virtual” lake and touch a girl’s face or a slime ball.<br />
The battery-powered box, which also doubles as a clock, is sized at just 105×120×87mm.</p>

<p>Anyone who check outs eBay with regularity has probably gotten used to seeing the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9894959-7.html">weird object up for sale</a> every now on then. But last Saturday story of a German pair offering their 8-month-old for purchase on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/">Ebay</a> via auction may end up topping more than a few creepiest-ever-on-eBay lists.<span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>A police spokesperson in the Bavarian town of Krumbach said that currently the authorities are investigating the couple for possible child trafficking, even though the 23-year-old woman of the duo insists that the post was simplya joke. Authorities, not believing the parents’ twisted sense of humor and have also put the unnamed baby into state custody.</p>
<p>According to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/internetNews/idUSL2431717320080524">Reuters</a>, few people contacted German authorities after spotting this weird listing on eBay. “Baby–collection only,” the listing read. “Offering my nearly new baby for sale because it cries too much. Male, 70 cm long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller.” Not that the price matters one way or the other, but the parents offered to sell the child for one euro ($1.57).</p>
<p>The mother of the child was quoted in Bild newspaper saying: “It was only a joke. I just wanted to see if someone would make an offer. They’ve taken my son to hospital and I’ve got to take psychiatric tests next week.”</p>
