Once again, the gadgets industry has rolled out quite a few new almost crazy gadgets.

A good demented example is the new egg timer that “sings” when your egg is ready. We have seen ones that beep or change color, but never ones that start yowling out a tune to tell you at what consistently your hardboiled egg is.

The BeepEgg starts singng “Killing Me Softly when the eggs are soft – roughly at 113 degress. When the eggs are medium runny you will hear the song “I wish I was a Hen.” The epic tune “Carmina Burana” howls tragically when the eggs are hard boiled.

The BeepEgg Unit itself is yellow and egg shaped. The drawback is that is that it does not run on a repalcable battery but instead just dies after 18 months which is about when the novelty of this really kooky new gadget should wear off as well.

Another really wierd gadget is the Karoake Joysound Wii whose tagline on the box is “Not Noisy Kara Ok!” It is a karoke microphone with a funnel on top that almost covers the entire face. It is essentially a USB port but the whole thing looks like a toilet plunger and it is designed to keep the loud singing a little quieter so you don’t bug the neighbours with your singing.

Yet another extremely weird, yet useful gadget is the Anti-Mosquito Laser Task Force! This unbelievable gadget is a plastic laser gun that emits a sweeping motion of blinding light. The technology is so sophisticated that t can even tell the difference between a male and female mosquito by looking at the pattern of it’s wings. So if you like the idea of your children running around in the backyard zapping mospquitos with their laser shot guns, this is the wierd toy for you. By the way be prepared for this to be a bit noisy or for the neighbours to call the police. Each shot sounds just like the large bang of a shot gun.

One of the weirdest new programs for the iPhone is called Have2P. This is a free program and basically it is a like a GPS for people who have to urinate a lot. This would be women with bladder infections and guys with prostrate problems but it would be especially valuable for pregnant women who just have to go every two minutes.

Have2P tracks every public restroom around you, giving you directions through the iPhone’s Maps application. It will also tell you what coffee joints or restaurants have toilets are for customer and where you can find truly public restrooms. What is even more unusual is that each bathroom on the application is actually reviewed!! This means you can avoid taking a leak in a place that is too slummy or grimy.
