Ancient nerd legend has it that anyone in possession of these three things will have REAL ULTIMATE POWER.
Its a pin. Its a synapse neuron. Sweet.
From now on all my eating and drinking implements will display the chemical structure of their contents.
Pong. Batteries. Shirt. Need I say more?
Those last two came from the ever-awesome ThinkGeek, but the neuron pin came from an amazing site aptly-named Neuromart. Neuromart contains items of such phenomenal nerditude that I died a little inside that I didn't think of it first. Neuromart, I salute you.
Hat tips to Charlie and darkman.

PhDs are useful for all kinds of things. Some people become faculty, others go into industry, and some decide to market ridiculously nerdtastic neurologically-based gifts via the internet. Sure, the latter kind may be rare, but a good idea is still a good idea.
Erm WARNING: THE MATERIALS USED AS COLORED DECORATIONS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THIS PRODUCT (CAFFEINE MUG) CONTAIN LEAD AND/OR CADMIUM, CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM. I think I'd prefer things that were labelled on the exterior with the chemical structure of what's on the exterior.
not a synapse... that's a neuron pin, right? or it could be the most neuron-looking synapse i've ever seen.
So buy two neuron pins. :)
PeterC, maybe that would explain why it was on clearance. Hrmmmmm....
My boss in grad school had that mug....ewww.
