Galileo wasn’t just a character in a Queen song. He invented stuff, like this early thermometer, uncreatively named Galileo’s Thermometer. Looks sort of like a clear glass turkey baster, minus the bulb you squeeze, or a giant regular thermometer. But don’t stick this under your tongue or anywhere else. Stands 11” tall and it’s filled with water. Inside, (6) balls filled with colored liquid (and have temperature values hanging from them) float in the water, letting you know, using the principles of density and buoyancy, what the temperature is—from 64F to 84F. It’ll make you seem smart when you translate the balls’ positions for your guests. Even if you never use it to tell the temp, it’s a beauty for your shelf.

A lovely mini-funnel, made for pouring Dad's special medicine into a hip flask, but just dandy for filling salt and pepper shakers or anything else with a little yap. Stainless steel with a 1-3/8" ID intake mouth and a 5/16" ID outlet. 1-7/8" tall OA.

Teensy tiny brushes for cleaning teensy tiny tubes, airbrushes, spray guns, tattoo equipment, nozzles, etc. Think miniature bottle brushes. You get a set of (5) brushes: 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" and 3/16" dia. All have nylon bristles, are 4" long, and are on a slip ring so you won't lose them.

Of course you want to wear your knit hipster hat today—when don’t you?—but it’s so damn sunny. We got you covered, literally, with this olive drab 100% wool knit cap that includes a built-in brim in front. This “jeep cap,” inspired by the U.S. military, meets U.S. Defense Department specs, though it’s been redesigned to be larger, cover the ears, and include the bill upfront. Radar O’Reilly loved his! Made in the U.S. of A., of course.

This plush, ridiculously soft, polyester, faux fur robe works great straight out of the shower or in a ’70s lounge with your best platform heels. Unisex, like all great purple robes with two-tone brown collars and cuffs that look vaguely big cat-ish. Marked 3X, but we think it’s closer to L or XL. Measures a very manageable for all sizes 55” long. Put it on and you’ll instantly feel like a character in an old episode of Baretta. Priced at the very odd $22.73, but since it’s our first robe, complete with a classic belt tie, we’re happy to cut you a deal.
