When you peer through your magnifying glass at this specimen, or focus your microscope on it, even at the lower magnifications which work best, you're looking at one big bug. Make that (4) big bugs. The insects are real, encased in clear acrylic blocks 1-3/4" x 1-1/4" x up to 11/16" thick, and ready for inspection. Set 1 includes a scorpion, giant ant, wasp and a flower bug. Set 2 is a cricket, locust, yellow leaf beetle, and crab. No, not a crab louse or a crab spider, but definitely a crab ugly….

Despite parental advice, here's a good reason to sit in in a dark room and think small. This Plasma Storm isn't as large as a standard plasma ball, so not only is it much more affordable -- the effect is concentrated and startling. The black plastic base has a switch. Turn it on at which point the 3" dia plastic globe (think baseball size) is filled with blue stems that flare to pink, looking like dozens of electric flowers searching for a way out. Very cool. Comes with a 6-ft power cord with transformer.

Way inside? Try our assortment of human and beastie X-rays. These, from Roylco®, are very useful for biology teachers and have real possibilities for artists and designers: fold 'em into lampshades, blow them up or shrink them on a copier, or scan them and have fun in Photoshop™. The human skeletal system, a complete skeleton when assembled, is in (18) sheets. The broken set has (15) sheets of nasty human fractures, quite literally from head to foot. Actual X-rays are reprinted on transparencies which work with overhead projectors, and range from 3-3/8" x 6-7/8" to 7-1/4" x 14". They come with info sheets in English and sometimes also in French.

The manufacturer calls it the Thunder Tube". We call it indispensable for the amateur Foley operator. It's a 7" long x 2-1/2" dia PVC tube with a resonant head at one end attached to a 17" long x 3/16" dia extension spring. Shake it, scrape it, wiggle it, use your palm to muffle it and you generate creaks, deep warbles, rumbles, weird heterodyne-ish gong effects, wa-wa's, rude noises, and, yes, realistic thunder. A perfect musical companion to your cuica and rain stick--and good, clean fun around the house. Don't make a sound-track without it.

All are about 39" long, which means fingertip length or mid-thigh, depending on how long you are. Think men's small, large and XL. They're all five-button, with one breast pocket and two large side pockets and have no name or embroidery added. Notched lapels, no vent-just what all the best-dressed technicians are wearing this season.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
The manufacturer calls this a "Crazy Glider," but it doesn't glide so much as lurch. We know lurching, and this eyeball lurches and wanders all over the floor in an amusing, nearly unstoppable, random search for…something. You get a battery-powered (a single "AAA" that you add) off-center 3-1/8" motorized plastic ball that you stick under a lightweight 7-1/2" plastic eyeball. Add a cat and the fun is just beginning. When you're not making the cat nuts, just stick the eyeball on, well, anything you want to keep an eye on. Or put the little ball under a baseball cap, or anything else lightweight, and make your own fun.

Sticky, icky and glow-in-the-dark! Very creepy and very X-Filey. Our each is a bag of (48) 1-1/8" long x 1/4" dia, sickly-pale, squishy-soft rubber maggots - enough to infest your sister's bedroom from floor to ceiling to under the pillow with plenty left over to stick in her yogurt. Not that we'd ever do a thing like that. We like our sister. And she doesn't eat yogurt anyway.
