    Yes, that is a hint. But if you have a more local recipient, like a child who grooves on science that would be OK as well.

    They say it's satisfyingly dense. Polyresin density about 1.4, moon about 3.3, so it would really need a steel ball in the middle to have correct density.

    Why yes, iplug, you do. But to be fair, there must be PriusChat children closer to home who could be 'turned' towards science with such inspirational gifts.

    I'd love me a hand-moon, sure. But I've already gone all in. Not in need of another push.

    There's still a place to go. At least in Chicago (2 locations) or Milwaukee (1 location): American Science and Surplus.

    They have all kinds of cool science stuff.

    They have paper catalogs and sell online too.
    They have their own style of humor.
