Own your very own self-destruct button!

Image of self-destruct switch

This one has been bouncing about the blogosphere the past few days, and rightly so... talk about your must-have geek toy! Gizmodo (among others) is talking about a gadget being sold by the Japanese website LiveDoor (warning - page is in Japanese. You may need to use the Fish unless you can read katakana.)

Ideal for your home, office, ballistic missle silo or secret-evil-genius-lair, this 4-way self-destruct switch will light up a big red lamp with a keyswitch turn, the throw of two toggle switches and a press of the big red button. May not sound like much, but put this puppy on your desk and your cow-orkers will think twice about pestering you.

Retailing for ¥3,990 (about $40US), this gem doesn't seem to be available internationally just yet, although from the reactions I've seen it may not be long - I may be getting one myself...
