Has anyone here heard of this website? (http://www.somethingstore.com/index.html)

Apparently, you pay $10, and they'll send you something random.

Here is a link (http://www.somethingstore.com/somethingtracker.html) that shows you what some people have gotten recently. Oh, boy, there are some gems in there! Just imagine being the person in Kentucky who got these goggles!

Or the person in New Mexico who got a wine thermometer!

Of course, someone in California supposedly opened a box and found this:

I'm not sure I'd shell out $10 for this, for fear that I'd open my box and find something that says exactly what I'd probably feel about the whole thing:

However, I'm sure there's someone here who can't resist. I dare you to buy "something." Who knows? You might get a flying alarm clock. That could be fun on next year's camping trip, right?

And in case you're wondering, they promise that they won't send you body parts. (http://www.somethingstore.com/somethingnot.html)

I've heard about it and was tempted.

But I'm lazy. And that means if what I get is something I have absolutely no use for, rather than trying to find a useful home for it, eventually it'll just go in the trash. Since I expect that 95% of the stuff I might get would fall into that category, $10 seems like an inefficient way to move something from their warehouse to my landfill.
