Please someone tell me this is not for real and it’s joke. There is no way that someone is selling a “poop” tube? Am I the only one who things this is wrong. But on the second thought … it would be nice doing business while standing up, it’s just a little messy for other people standing next to you on the urinal. Fine, ok! It’s from the awesome Tim and Eric Awesome Show, great Job!

But if there is a need there will be a product – Think about it.

Which makes also a neat DIY solar project in case you don’t want to shell out the dough.

This is the device that heats an above-ground swimming pool using solar power. Extending your swim season while reducing your pool heating costs, it provides 2,500 BTUs per hour, effectively raising the temperature of a 6,000-gallon pool by 5º F in 10 days. The heater attaches to your pool’s pump-operated water filtering system. Water is warmed as it circulates through the heater’s coiled, black 20′ long heating system that is exposed to the sun’s energy, passing back into the pool. Up to four heaters may be linked for faster heating. Includes all hardware and accessories needed for installation.

Wondering what energy class those tubes are in? Are those tubes consuming tons of energy?

This assembled clock INCLUDES six plug-in IN18 nixie tubes – some other ‘nixie clocks’ do not! The nixie tubes themselves are classified as New Old Stock – (NOS), as they were made at least 15 years ago, but have never been used. Unlike some other designs which use smaller (13 mm) or a rather naff ‘upside down’ 2’s for the 5 numeral, The BigTime features genuine, Russian IN18 tubes, with their beautifully formed 40 mm high numerals. These are the now very largest nixie tubes that are still available in reasonable commercial quantities.

The BigTime isn’t like just any other nixie clock on the market…

• Direct Drive Display (not multiplexed), for quieter, longer nixie tube life
• Precision Temperature Compensated Crystal (TCXO) for +/- 30 seconds / year accuracy, or even better
• Software controlled LED backlighting of nixie tubes (in Cool White)
• Surface Mount technology facilitates a lower profile, shallower case
• High efficiency, compact switched-mode mains power supply (external "Wall-wart" type) for UK, Europe and USA
• Mirror-finish polished, precision-machined, Aluminium case
• Fully remote controlled – The BigTime contains no (0) moving parts! (well, OK, apart from one reset switch)
• Large Six-digit display showing hours, minutes, seconds, or day, month, year
• Super-smooth fading between digits
• 12 or 24-hour hour display mode
• Indicators for AM/PM, time, and alarm-set mode
• Alarm, with snooze
• European or US date display formats
• Simple hourly beeps or complex “Westminster” chimes with software selectable Silent-Night mode
• Plays “Happy Birthday” on up to four specified dates
• Other “Easter Eggs” for you to find!
• Automatic leap-year calculation
• Universal Automatic Daylight Savings Time calculation for almost all geographies, including new US DST rules (2007 onwards)
• Manual or automatic display brightness
• Safe, low-voltage design, via a 12V DC “wall-wart” UK, EU or US power supply
• On-board SuperCap retains The BigTime’s time and settings for a minimum of 7 days in the event of power loss
• On-board loudspeaker for more compact design
• Optional external temperature probe (-50C to 120C, or 58F to +255F )
• Optional relay output to drive slave clocks or other equipment 
• Optional GPS receiver for permanent atomic precision
• Every BigTime is individually serial numbered and comes with its own certification
