If I were to sit around with my friends discussing the world and what we plan to conquer one day, we would do it with drinks in hand gathered around the Florentine Globe Bar. Seriously, what man has never dreamt of owning a globe that could be flipped open at the equator to reveal a secret booze chamber? Too cool.

Rotating Earth Watch

contact@thegreenhead.com (Michael Kiely) — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 16:38:09 -0600

There are truly some weird watches out there and the Rotating Earth Watch is one of them. This watch, in addition to telling time, has a little rotating planet Earth that floats in the middle and makes a full rotation once every 24 hours. The frame around the planet is made of Titanium, the crystal is super tough Hardlex and it's powered by a 10 year Lithium battery. $499.99 makes this a non-buy for me, but it is kinda cool.

Check out this cool new desktop lamp called the Levitating Galileo Gravitator that features four interchangeable floating spheres (the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) that spin in zero gravity on an antique-style electromagnetic base. Anything that floats, hovers & levitates all by itself is just cool in my book and this thing almost looks like it was built by Galileo himself.
