I couldn't have made it up

I found this lurking right at the bottom of an electronic pile of “stories I might use one day”, most of which, needless to say, I never actually use (rather like the all-to0-real sewing/mending pile).

I really could not resist the USB-powered eyelash curler!!

Check it out at http://www.geekstuff4u.com/thanko-usb-heater-eyelash-curler.html (costs 2,980 Yen).

WHY you would want one is a bit of a mystery but hey …

Thanks to PopGadget, Akihabara News and Unclutterer (among others) for providing information on this, to me, totally useless gadget.
