    [​IMG] I've had putting the link to ThinkGeek up on the to-do for more than 2 months now, but recently got reminded that it still wasn't done, so here it is. You can find the link on top of every message board page, next to the Newegg link.

    If you're not familiar with ThinkGeek yet, I suggest you click the link and see for yourself. In a nutshell, TG is every geek's (or at least geek at heart's) best store to get literally thousands of cool, geeky, or just plain fun items which you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere else.

    If you're already a ThinkGeek customer, please start shopping via the SP link in the future - this way we get a small commission for every item you buy and you get to support the site at no cost to yourself. If you haven't bought anything from ThinkGeek yet, well, I bet you'll be tempted soon enough. ;)

    How much are those geeks giving SP per purchase? :hmm:

    Good site though...I usually waste hours there just looking at stuff. :rolling:

    I think around 5%... which is very decent compared to Newegg's measly 1-2%.

    Yeah...but when I buy stuff from Newegg it's generally between $200 - $2000. If we ever get the 52" HDTV we want, I'll probably get it off of Newegg as well...that 1-2% return on a $2500 purchase is a lot better than a 5% return on a $50 purchase.

    I've just got to remember to use the SP links. :idea: :rolling:

    True enough, the only problem is the frequency and amount of buying done via our link. :shake:

    I saw that one a few months back too, seemed like a great idea. Would make a great gift too.

    Nice. I've always liked complicated-yet-fairly-useless-and-above-all-fun items commonly known as gadgets...:p

    No, seriously. Some of this stuff is great... and useful.

    Too bad they can't ship Jolt outside the US - SP would make a fortune off of my Jolt purchases.

    In a rational state of mind, me too.

    But with four microbiology books on the table, and rain outside - imagination works overtime...

    Besides, I wasted years of my life on The Incredible Machine. :p

    I love that site, even when I don't intend to buy it's fun to browse.

    I would love to have a model of an M1A1 Tank, similar to the one they have listed, just bigger, stronger/faster, with a powerfull Airsoft cannon, and an onboard video camera, that way you can control it from a computer or over the web without actually needing to be within sight of it. :evil: :rolling:

    I want some of that "Monkey Picked Tea"! Tea hand-picked by monkeys simply MUST be better than smelly old human picked tea.

    Give me a shout when you do, apparently no one has ordered anything yet... or it's not working properly. :bad:
