$8000 Speaker Cables. Amazon Reviewers Go Crazy.

The first oddity I noticed about this product page was the images, 1 is perfectly normal and acceptable... the others... well your guess is as good as mine.

Next up, we have the reviews, with such marvels as:
Quote:
If there is one cable I would whole-heartedly trust to my Chimera-hunting needs, this would be the cable. No other cable has the tensile strength to properly and efficiently garrote a lycanthrope, asphyxiate an Esquilax or even gag a mermaid. Last week, using my trusty AudioQuest K2 (retrofitted with lead weights, bright orange latex paint and a generous coating of crushed glass stolen from the window of an abandoned church at midnight), I managed to snuff 3 golden unicorns in swift succession!

Pros: Quickly tears through scales, fur, bone, and adamantium with ease
Coils and uncoils from hip holster (optional) quickly and quietly
For a product fabricated from 1,000 Onyx Dragon fetuses, the price is unbelievably reasonable!

Cons: Shipping from the R'lyeh took far too long
Doesn't come in 10' lengths (which would be perfect for hydra, cerberii and other multi-headed creatures)
After every use, I can feel 6 ounces of my soul slipping from my core into the ether. But this may be due to the fact that I prefer to work without gloves. YMMV.

Overall, I would recommend that any hunter buy one, nay, two, of these immediately, and experience the difference that upgrading to the K2 will make in your next quest!


Just... wow.

Yeah it's a bit odd innit. I've seen Amazon reviewers do this kinda thing on other products too and it's usually very amusing.

A Bic Biro... yes those little shitty pens that sell for about 11p.

3/5 stars : Left handers beware...
Worked fine with my right hand, but when I came to use my left hand my writing came out looking like the work of a complete imbecile. I can only assume Bic have created a right-handed only pen, and would caution left-handers to "try before you buy".

4/5 stars : Very good if you need to write on paper


Quote:
5/5 stars : Quite a fine chew!
I've found I can chew this pen for at least two working days, rarely do I end up with a mouthful of ink. A+++ highly tasty. It seems you can also write with it too.


Bizarre stuff but I love it.

Haha, okay I can understand these reviews. Definitely worthwhile to know how long you can chew on your biro, and especially whether you should expect a mouthful of ink at the end.
