You remember: white cardboard frames with red and blue plastic lenses. The temples fold to 5" long. 3-D's a lot more fun in these days of the Web: go to www.howstuffworks.com for binocular disparity and rivalry tests, or just Google around to find fun stuff or school optics experiments to use these with.

Called the "Hand Grip," this odd little massager/squeeze box thingy provides, according to the manufacturer, "comfort to shoulder" among other things. We don't know about that, but it's perfect for exercising/strengthening a grip, particularly one finger at a time. We'd prescribe it after carpal tunnel surgery, for broken digit rehab, or for guitar players looking to power-up the pinky for those low-on-the-neck blues riffs. It's 2-3/8" long x 1-1/2" dia, with little bumps on both ends.

It doesn't say that on the box, but that's what we're using it for around here because we're tired of surprises. It's a slightly convex 2-3/8" x 2" plastic mirror with a ball-and-socket joint (4-1/8" tall OA) with a self-adhesive strip to mount it where you can see people who have no business sneaking up on you in the first place, OK? Includes a little clip on the back to hold notes.

Straight from the hand of Nature, and Scott Resources, comes this boxed collection of (15) 1" to 1-1/2" fluorescent mineral specimens, such as hackmanite, turritella agate, aragonite, travertine, willemite, resinous coal, selenite gypsum, fluorite, calcite, scapolite var. Wernerite and fossil algae. All are very interesting, and a few colors really pop under ordinary blacklight -- but we have to admit that today's fluorescent paints and laser shows have spoiled us for the more subtle glow of a rock. Buy these for their educational value, not their dramatic display.

Walking sticks have moved into the space age! This walker's/hiker's friend has futuristic features and the look of an inter-galactic weapon. The high-quality collapsible aluminum stick extends from a packable 27" to a full 56", and has a carbide tip with a rubber cover, a removable 2" dia disk to keep the stick from sinking into soft ground, and an internal shock absorber that can be turned on or off. At the top, a 5-LED flashlight with a 90° pivot is embedded in a molded-plastic cane-style handle to light your way. For mountain trekking, lengthen the stick, slip the adjustable canvas wrist strap over your hand, and clutch the stick by the padded foam section below the cane handle. Directions, diagrams, and 1100mm to 1350mm gradations are marked clearly on the 3-draw pole. We'll pick a black or anodized red, green, blue, silver or purple version for you.
