As an employee at my family's import company, I receive many emails from manufacturers in China who want us to sell their products. These products have been a source of amusement for me for years. When the singing pillow arrived in my inbox, I decided to start a blog so that others could share in the excitement.

Flexible Keyboard

This certainly isn't the most useful invention, but I actually think it's kind of cool. I especially liked what the manufacturer had to say about it. Here are a couple of the features they highlighted in their email.

"Moisture prevention: waterproof, ideal for use in adverse, humid or
even low-level water conditions "

Wow! I have been looking everywhere for a keyboard I can use underwater!

"Harmless to the human body with excellent softness"

What a relief! I thought for sure this keyboard might be deadly.

Puppet Show

"Let Dream Comes Ture, Turn Everything Into Gold"

This might just be the scariest picture I have ever seen. The title is this manufacturer's moto. I think I will be perfectly happy if my dream never comes ture.

Stapler for the Rubber Ducky Enthusiast

OK, I have to admit that this is kind of cute, but it's still strange to put a rubber ducky in a stapler.
