Miscellany: SkyMall

Ever been on a commercial airline flight? SkyMall is that catalog that's tucked into the back of every seat, full of products that you didn't even know existed. It's sort of a novelty-store anthology collection - the wackiest stuff from places like The Sharper Image, Brookstone, and other stores all combined into one place.

Ever want a wall-mounted crossword puzzle that contains over 28,000 clues? How about an Evenstar pendant from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy? Don't forget your dummy surveillance camera.

It makes for interesting in-flight reading, but I do prefer to bring my own books onboard.
