more frightening/confusing is the listing of what customers who also bought this purchased at the same time: Legos and lingerie.

I find this one more frightening. Not the product itself, but the "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed..."

http://www.amazon.com/Uranium-Ore/dp/B000796XXM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1201639569&sr=8-2

Seem like odd combinations.

How about the recommendation to buy the Uranium Ore together with the Forbidden LEGO Projects Book?  shocked

From a satisfied customer. 

Quote
By    Thomas Dunham "Los Pepes" (Catonsville, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'll admit it. Shopping for a personal tank can be a bit daunting. Many times in the past I've purchased overpriced, so-called "battle tanks", then driven them into battle only to be wrecked in ten minutes by the first blow off of some insurgents home-made morter.

But not this baby, no way.

This tank R-O-C-K-S! Literally- the 400-watt sound-system keeps me rockin like a crazy man as I'm dishing out justice commando style. Wow. I just can't say enough. And the kids love it, too- imagine the look of terror in the eyes of the enemy as I'm dropping off my kid's team to their soccer game. Shock and awe, my friends, SHOCK AND AWE!

I had NAO install the optional GPS-guided white phosphorus missile system, and talk about *SWEET*! Burn baby burn!!!

Oh, it also has plenty of room for groceries, and if you need to like move a loveseat or something it'll fit if you use a little bungee cord.

The only real negative with this tank is that it shows up on radar a little more than I like (although there is a polyresin graphite stealth model available). Also, the included spare isn't full size.

Overall, a great tank.

IIRC, that Jabba-the-Hut-esque tank-thing was part of a Burning Man performance art piece.

So that probably more than adequately explains the other items the viewers/purchasers were checking out.  undecided

I dunno, that "tank" looks more like a decaptiated Dalek than anything else.

And Gewehr98's couch?  Just the gift for your friends who have unbirthing fantasies.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
