The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.

One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.

Convergence VII: Casio Biorhythm Calculator

Casio_biorythm_3

In 1976 Casio made a hit with their combination calculator and Biorhythm "Biolator".  Biorhythms is a pseudo scientific idea that the body has biological cycles that influence your strength and health.  True believers use their biorhythms to map their lives, deciding when is best for certain tasks.

Skeptic or not, theories of biorhythms were enough to make Casio's invention of a biorhythm calculator a huge hit.  The Biolator isn't much of a calculator with only eight digits, no percent function, nor memory, but let's face it - the Biolator was for folks that wanted numeric help with their fate.

The Life Cycles kit has cards and charts to determine your biorhythms and the best timing for the events in your life.  Sadly, I'm missing a few of the essential bits of the Life Cycles kit - but it barely matters. Besides biorhythms being a pseudoscience, the Biolator isn't Y2K compliant!
