Founded on September 23, 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, Nintendo got its start manufacturing and marketing a playing card game called Hanafuda, which soon gained mass popularity. Realizing the limitations of the playing card business, however, Yamauchi moved into other arenas without lasting success. Then, in 1966, Nintendo settled into the Japanese toy industry where it would eventually produce a light gun technology for the emerging arcade scene - a new market that would ultimately secure the company's spot as a gaming pioneer. In 1985, Nintendo launched the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Over the course of the next two years, it almost single-handedly revitalized the video game industry, selling over 60 million units. People brought games like Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong into their homes for the first time on the NES. Today, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, is the worldwide leader and innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, manufacturing and marketing... See less

Dancing Desktop Jellies Blackbeard was just about the most ruthless pirate ever. His management style was unique, to say the least. If one of his crew misbehaved, he would drop them in a large tank full of jellyfish and delight as the jewels he kept at the bottom of the tank reflected different colors into the ballet of agony that played out before him. According to the infamous pirate's diaries, it really calmed his nerves, too. Wow. Well, while we don't recommend all that for your office, there is something we can take from this story: colorful jellyfish are relaxing. This desktop tank holds three jellyfish which "swim" around the tank (thanks to a gently contrived current). In the top of the tank are 6 bright LEDs, which let you set the mood. You can either have them blend softly from one color to the next, or stop on your favorite color. Either way, the jellies are happy to frolic in their kaleidoscopic, quiet menace. And if one of your subordinates ever acts up, just remind him or... See less

Some kinda paper voodoo! Staples have become a scourge to the office environment. Those shiny metal wires have jammed in thumbs, caught on sweaters, and torn papers. The horrors are just too numerous to mention. Recently, at ThinkGeek World Domination Headquarters, an entire afternoon was spent watching a government mandated corporate safety video that showed, in excruciating slo-motion Tarantinoesque detail, just how terrible accidents with staples can be. ThinkGeek employees, however, rolled their eyes... for they had converted to an entirely staple free environment. We found in our travels a device that staples papers together - without staples! Oh, we're not crazy, this thing is real. This handy (and might we add - environmentally friendly) device cuts a tiny flap in the corner of your paper, and folds it in on itself, tucked in a tiny paper pocket. Sleek, small, and coming in chaotic-evil black, deep blue, and smokey "clear", the Staple Free Stapler can clip together up to five... See less
