I’m all for useless desk toys, but this might be a time machine too far even for me:
The Doctor Who Spinning TARDIS from the NeatoShop is a fun dekstop item that works using magnets to keep the TARDIS in mid-air. Levitate the TARDIS so it actually seems to fly and then give it a gentle push and watch it spin round and around, as if going through a time vortex.
One thing it’s definitely good for: baffling Insane Clown Posse with all those magnets. Maybe that alone makes it worth the purchase price.
Available at Neatorama. Only 45 bucks — cheap!
