Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills – Weird Fun Gadgets

Back in the Eighties, Erno Rubik’s blister-inducing cube was as ubiquitous as sax solos, legwarmers and big hair. True, the only kids who could solve the flippin’ thing were annoying nerds in need of a Clearasil dunking, but the Rubik’s Cube became a cultural phenomenon. And looking back, you have to admit it was pretty darn stylish to boot.

So much so, modern day geeks have created these lookalike salt and pepper grinders. Rubik’s cruets, if you will. Officially licensed, Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills are exactly the same size as the original brain mangler. The difference is you can’t play with them because these retro grinders are designed to crush condiments, not egos. And that means you won’t end up hurling yours at the wall in sheer frustration.

Each eye-catching cube is built around a high quality ceramic mill that makes light work of pulverising salt and pepper. Better still you won’t have to ask some precocious brat how to crush your condiments because only the top layer of the cube rotates. Just twist and enjoy.

If you’re worried about grinding the wrong thing over your Space Invader pasta shapes, worry not; the salt mill’s top is white while the pepper mill’s is red – handy if you are an Eighties fixated foodie who still conducts dinner soirées sporting a Phil Oakey fringe and fake Wayfarers.

Whether you’re a die-hard Puzzle fan, an aficionado of retro Hungarian design (well, you never know) or you just need a stylish and original pair of grinders, Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills are most definitely the solution. Pass the peeps…Visit Fire Box

1980s $50 The eighties are seen by many as a time of excess and extremes. From Boy George to Madonna, metal heads to valley girls, and workout clothes to shoulder pads, many pushed the boundaries of what was was conventional. After a decade of war, disillusionment of the government, advances in civil rights, and disco, Americans became status seekers and shopaholics and the Me generation was born. Twelve narrative chapters describe the decade of decedence and its impact on popular culture including: the AIDS epidemic, preppies, Miami Vice, the Rubik’s Cube, E.T., hair bands, the advent of the personal computer, malls, Ronald Reagan, Pac-Man, Cheers, Stephen King, Michael Jackson, the shuttle Challenger explosion, Bonfire of the Vanities, music videos, Roseanne, the power suit, Less Than Zero, rap music, and The Cosby Show, among many others.Chapters on Everyday America and the World of Youth describe the important changes in American society, from Ronald Reagan’s War on Drugs, to latch-key kids, to Black Monday. The following ten chapters explore the many aspects of popular culture-everything from advertising to fashion, literature to music, travel to the visual arts-that influenced Americans in the eighties. Supplemental resources include a timeline of important events, an extensive bibliography for further reading and a subject index.

American Speedcubers $8.59 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Bob Burton (born Robert Russell Burton, Jr. on February 21, 1985) is an American speedcuber, most famous for competing in competitions all over the world and his world records on the Rubik’s Magic and Rubik’s Master Magic. Bob Burton grew up in Kearny, New Jersey. He played baseball on teams until the age of twelve. Bob went to Kearny High School from 1999-2003, where he graduated 6th in his class. At Kearny High School, he was president of the Physics Club in his junior year and president of the Student Government Association in his senior year. He also played middle linebacker for the football team for three years and rowed on the crew team for all four years. Bob also studied mathematics at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey and graduated in May 2007. He rowed for the Rutgers Lightweight Crew team and was the president and founder of the Rutgers University Rubik’s Cube Club. Bob began speedsolving with the 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube in May 2001. He was first challenged by some of his friends in an informal competition to see who could solve one side the fastest and was consistently the last to finish, so he bought a Rubik’s Cube and began to practice with it. He was able to solve the cube in under a minute within a few months using a simple layer by layer method. He competed in the 2003 Rubik’s World Games Championships, held in Toronto, Canada. In 2005, Burton learned the Fridrich method, the method he still uses to solve the puzzle. Bob Burton was one of the pioneers of solving the Rubik’s Magic in the United States. After learning how to solve the puzzle, he insisted on it being an official event in competitions. Ian Winokur allowed a Rubik’s Magic competition at the Horace Mann Spring 2005 tournament, in which Bo… More:

Ironically, these fears are really unsolvable symptoms of a common solvable problem to which we pay just lip-service: our continued dependence on oil. Clean, renewable energy is nature’s Rubik’s Cube, and arguably the most commercially valuable puzzle to solve. After years of research, Professor Jason (Doc) Davidson and his team have cracked the code, but bringing their solution to market must overcome the challenges of those who see renewable energy as a threat. DEADLY FREEEDOM weaves fiction and fact into a tapestry of intrigue and conspiracy between OPEC, the oil and automotive industries, and our own government. Threats to this conspiracy are dealt with through strategic eliminations carried out by The Club, an assassination squad of rogue CIA double agents. As Davidson finds out, freedom comes at a cost, a cost justified by a country’s return to greatness.
