ROMP

ROMP - The Randomly Oscillating Magnetic Pendulum. A flat metal plate with a magnet suspended above offers endless possibilities to create unique and unusual flight patterns. Designed to illustrate the chaotic and random forces that effect us all, ROMP is also just plain fun. ROMP's swinging pendulum darts and dodges through magnetic force fields that you setup using the included magnets. These periodic energy 'tugs' cause the pendulum to erratically drift through the magnetic fields thus exhibiting total chaos (random systems, by nature, are unpredictable). There are no rules but there is a small booklet that explains magnetic fields and how they work. For the young scientist or old veteran this toy will provide a lot of fun!

Phobias Word Deck

One of the splendors of our world is that there's so much to be terrified of. This deck of 48 Knowledge Cards presents a surprising and delightful smorgasbord of irrational dread. One side of each card introduces one to four words related to unusual phobias, with a sentence showing their correct usage. The opposite side gives their definitions and pronunciation. You'll learn of things you never thought to be afraid of and happily recognize long-undetected phobias of your own. Best of all: reading Phobias to your friends may give them hilarious panic attacks (don't try this if you're a hedonophobe).

Charles Harrington Elster is the author of There's a Word for It! (excerpted in this deck), Verbal Advantage, and other books about words.
