Here in the US of A, we dedicate today to shoving copious quantities of food down our throats, meeting / greeting long lost family members and -- most importantly -- counting our blessings. Here around the Engadget table, we've found five "gadgets" (we're being gracious here) that we're absolutely grateful to
not own. In fact, we're thankful that we don't even have to look at these if we don't want to. 'Course, we're betting that you're curious enough to give up that right to ignore in order to see just how pathetic these
crapgadgets really are, but we'd recommend waiting at least an hour after your last gluttonous indulgence before clicking the links below. Obviously, we cannot be held responsible for any upchucking.

I wanted to vote for them all...
the mouse scale is for drug dealers to weigh their drugs and disguise the evidence as an optical mouse
methinks they are doing this because they are out of ideas for engadget's Holiday Gift Guide: for enemy.
I actually have the Dual car windshield mount holding both my Red Piggy mouse and my Scale mouse when they are not in use because I am playing with my Disney Clickable as I keep my hands warm with the Monkey USB warmer.
I didn't know if I would vote in the monkey USB hand warmers (nothing against the hand warming part, the problem is the monkey...) or in the Red Piggy mouse. But the fact that the pig has four eyes is so creepy for me that it deserves my vote.
I'd actually use the dual- gadget thing...
Well, it would always be cool, if these gadgets don't just appear to be real gadgets. Isn't it true that it's the unsatiable lust for somethingnew which is driving these things to the market.

And we can't forget that there must be a bunch of people behind them, working on them for a couple of months.

Sow we'll better bear in mind that all of this is just crap gadgets.
sounds good
Hmm USB scale mouse... for the Drug dealin' laptop aficionado? "Yo man I gotta check my email? Oh u need some weed? (flips off the top of the mouse to reveal a scale while imitating the Transformers transformation sound perfectly)"
Why would you want to wear the hand warmers "freely"? I mean they make a bold statement and all but whats the point if they are not warming your hands.
ok...how can anyone seriously shoot down the scale/mouse combo. As someone who is constantly on the computer, it's hard for me to find time to welcome the many guests I have into my house, dig out the cumbersome 1970's digi scale, and measure out proper quantities of green goodness all the while trying to update my new website, or scroll through the latest online High Times issue ... this invention is perfect for all this difficult multitasking ... now I can talk, measure out drugs AND use my computer (before one of the aforementioned had to be eliminated). I am sure my productivity will go up a full percent!
I want the scale mouse...
I prefer some images of all the gadgets I can choose from instead of opening every link, come on Engadget: We as gadget freaks to make life more easy should all understand that ;)
Since dealing attracts far higher sentences than possession, and in some states/countries ownership of scales will make you automatically a dealer in the eyes of the law, the scale mouse is a great idea and, though I'm sure it works, probably isn't intended to be used as an actual mouse all that often! It's just a disguise, dudes.
Does that piggy mouse have eyes on its forehead? That's definitely the most messed up gadget i have seen today
So... why does a pig have four eyes?
The Scale Mouse: For the drug dealer looking to utilize his desk space.
I could not decide, but I was OK with the monkey hands and the scale mouse, the rest is just way off the awful scale and impossible to select from.
"Why use a mouse with your computer? Use a piggy instead!"
The scale mouse is ridiculous. I mean, who want's to get little bits of weed stuck all over their mouse?
With the amount of use I would get out of that, the buttons would probably start to stick and break within a week.
blrrr?
I soooo wanna know how much my hand weights :)
the scale mouse is awesome! weighs 5.0 for a nickel every time!
