Engadget's recession antidote: win an insane grab bag of random stuff!

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got an insane (that's right: insane) grab bag of random stuff culled from the depths of Editor-in-Chief Joshua Topolsky's lair. That's right. We could detail the awesomeness that's inside the bag, but where would the fun in that be? Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Check after the break for some photos of the prize!


The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  
• Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive an insane grab bag of random stuff.
  
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Entries can be submitted until Monday, June 22nd, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

I like grab bags, and grabbing grab bags, but some how "I like grabbing bags" sounds wrong, both morally and sensually.

Fix the worlds economy by basing the monitary system on the value of an individual human
being. This value could be taxed. The value would increase with education, contributions to society, etc.......Heck, the value of everything is arbitrary, ...this might be fairer.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 26th 2009 11:55AM]

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 26th 2009 12:04PM]
