This made me laugh out loud: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/13/AR2006091301613_pf.html
I was thinking almost the exact same thing the last time I read the Skymall catalog. But ironically, I did discover something that is actually useful: A shoe carousel. This is a 3-tiered circular shoe rack that can hold 18 pairs of shoes in a 1 foot square area. It's about 3 feet tall. It's great for someone like me who has about 50 pairs of shoes and almost no closet space. As soon as I returned from the trip where I discovered it I looked for them online and discovered that Amazon sells them for $19.99, much cheaper than Skymall's $50 price. Realistically it can hold 12 pairs, 4 per tier, because 6 is kind of pushing it. But it's a fantastic invention. Most of the other stuff, like Mr. Achenbach indicates, is truly frivolous. Maybe some of you frequent fliers can relate? I hope I dont' get so bored on the flight to London that I decide there is something in Skymall I just can't live without. It's sort of like what Brookstone sells, only about 10X as much stuff. http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=69739164&c (see chrome style) http://www.amazon.com/Whitney-Design-2131-18-Pair-Revolving/dp/B0002TG2HO/sr=8-1/qid=1158407062/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-6587283-2724868?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden or http://tinyurl.com/ooyh5 Yahoo!
