Yashica, which used to be a well-respected mid-range camera brand, is back from the dead after going bust in 2005. Chinese conglomerate MF Jebsen has purchased up the brand and is quietly trotting out a new line of digital and 35mm cameras, camcorders and accessories.

There’s no word yet on pricing or U.S. availability, and the initial lineup of digicams seems awfully imitative of every other point-and-shoot out there. Camcorders may be a different matter, however. The DVC825 has an intriguing chassis design, impressive specs and a $1,700 list price that suggests the Yashica brand won’t be entirely bottom-feeder material.

What kitchen implement is wedge shaped and has a sharp edge, perfectly suited to slicing a pizza without disturbing the topping, and then serving the slice?

That’s right. A chef’s knife. Sure, you could waste $10 on this pair of pizza scissors, which will do the same thing. But that’s all they will do. I don’t know which is worse. The fact that manufacturers continue to market uni-tasking tat, or that gullible consumers continue to stuff their kitchen drawers with it. What next? An egg cracker?

We just spotted these great, life-sized Lego models of Indiana Jones, C3PO and a Clone Wars Trooper at the annual Toy Fair. We asked how many Lego bricks it took to construct each one, but were told that it was “a massive secret.” We couldn’t care less, they look extraordinary, and we desperately need some new office furnishings to brighten up the place. Unfortunately, these are just show pieces, and those hoping for a gigantic Indiana Jones Lego pack will have to make do with these (movie spoiler) kits instead. Clone Wars fans get some smaller Lego-loving, too, but we want them so bad, we’re going to try and smuggle the life-size models out. Stay tuned for news on the covert operation. Checkout the gallery for a ton of awesome images.

Oral Sex Light Illuminates Your Dongle [Nsfw]

The product is called the Oral Sex Light. We’re not too sure much of an explanation is needed, but if you still don’t get it, there’s a absolutely NSFW explanation image after the jump.

For all those who were gagging to see a giant illuminated phallus, I apologise; it was a very mean trick. Graphic image aside, the Oral Sex Light will set you back $13.99, and mounts (ha) via a clip-on ear piece. The torch attached is absolutely flexible, meaning you can absolutely scope out those hard to find regions. Unfortunately, if you ever did try to wow a date with your I-come-prepared attitude, she’ll likely be out of the door quicker than she could say, “What the hell was I doing there in the first place?” At that point, you’ll have to make use of the Oral Sex Light on your own, which will be an even sadder and more twisted state of affairs than normal. You suck. [Nerd Approved]

Quaker Working on Oatmeal-Delivering Alarm Clock

Oh, if only Wilford Brimley was alive to see this. (What? He’s not dead? And he’s turned into a pro-cockfighting activist? Never mind…)

Anyhow, Quaker Oats is working the kinks out of a new gadget that’ll have a steaming hot bowl of oatmeal ready for you as soon as you wake up int he morning. The device includes an insulated milk-storage cannister, a clock and heater that gently warms the milk and combines it into wholesome oatmeal at a preset time.

For those who consider hot cereal as repulsive as I do, this could be a reverse-psychology alarm clock that prods you to race out of bed just to get away from the smell.
