If you've always wanted an easier way to rewind your DVDs, look no furthur
than the "DVD Rewinder". You'll find that and more in this
amusing list of gadgets.
DVD Rewinder
The DVD Rewinder "will spin discs backwards and plays a 'rewind'
sound." If that's not enough, you can also record your own
"rewind" sound for a personal touch. Yes, this is a real product
and can be purchased here
for $16.49.
I dunno know about you, but I just hate rewinding my DVDs manually after
watching them. Just snap the disc on top, press the button and watch in
wonder as your disc spins up thanks to the "Centriptal Velocity
Spindle."

Driv-e-mocion
Driv-e-mocion is a nifty device that attaches to your rear window and can be
programmed to display a variety of messages -- in form of smiling/frowning
faces or words. Best of all, it's priced at just $20 here.
Given, the four letter words may anger the person behind you even more, it
is still cool to put them in their place, geekily

Head Bath Cap
If you've been waiting for a cap that gives your head/hair a good bath than
the solution is here. Presenting the "Head Bath" cap, just place
it over your head and let water start running into it. This thing not only
looks funny but supposedly "helps your hair grow faster and
fuller" by penetrating the pores in your scalp with the trapped water. [Source]
Toilet Paper Dispenser with iPod Dock
You'll never miss a song even in the bathroom with Atech's "iLounge
hybrid toilet paper dispenser/iPod dock". The iLounge supports all iPod
models that have a dock connector and has an integrated USB slot for the
Shuffle. Speakers are concealed in the dispenser's arms with navigation
buttons located conveniently on top for easy access. [Source]
Bra That Doubles As Shopping Bag
Triumph Japan has unveiled a bra that doubles as a shopping bag -- named the
"Kawaii Bag". Here's how it works:
When the bra is being worn, the “shopping bag” portions are folded
away inside the bra cups, where they serve as extra padding. The bra
quickly converts to a shopping bag by removing the bag portions from the
cups and connecting the hooks on the bra’s underwire. The lace cups
serve as decoration along with the shoulder straps, which are disconnected
and tied to the top of the bag as ribbons

Nap Alarm
This nifty little device goes behind your ear and vibrates when it detects
you are falling asleep by measuring the speed of head movements (head
nodding, etc.). Perfect for boring classes, drives, and work. It costs only
$15 (1,800 yen).
"With the Nap Alarm, waking up 15 minutes before said exam may be a
thing of the past, though falling asleep while driving is another matter
entirely."

than this 360-degree camera. It fits comfortably on your head and
conveniently uses disposable cameras. [Source]
USB-Powered Butt Cooler
Here's another strange Japanese gadget: the USB-powered butt cooler. This
device also doubles as a seat cushion and works by blowing "cool air
onto your arse via the onboard fan." Product page here
(Japanese). Jason Chen from Gizmodo notes one potential drawback:
The only downside I can see is if you let one go, the air cooler will blow
it up right into your face

Tie With Built-in Wallet/Organizer
Put simply, this is one of the strangest ties we've come across. It has
slots for just about everything, including scissors, passports, credit
cards, and more. [Source]
USB BBQ
A group of Japanese modders decided to make their own custom USB-powered BBQ
using lots of USB cable, six PCI USB Adapter cards, and countless hours of
hacking. Plus, the computer is fully functional. Short video demonstration
after the jump. Lots of pictures here.
