I'm Stressed Out Enough without a Rubik's Cube!

So my nephew wants the new Rubik's Cube Revolution: "Professor Rubik Signature Edition", no less! Does that mean Dr. Rubik signs each and every one personally? I doubt it. So I did some on-line comparisons and ended up with the puzzle genius's at PuzzlesUSA.com.
You remember them: the guys that sell the largest jigsaw puzzle in the world...24,000 pieces! It's called "LIFE" and you obviously don't have one if you're going to put together a 24,000 piece puzzle! But I digress...... They seemed to have the best prices and did you know there are at least NINE different Rubik's Cubes? This "Revolution" one has flashing lights, apparently.

There were Rubik's Cubes with collectible stands, Junior Rubik's Cubes so you can stress out a five year old, Rubik's key chains so you can speed-cube while you're driving, Rubik's Ice Cube which I guess goes in your drink and you solve it with your tongue......and the list goes on!

WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT ONE OF THESE!!!! If this Rubik wasn't such an egotist, he would have named them STRESS CUBES! And what's all this about "speed-cubing"? It's bad enough trying to put one of these back in order without trying to do it very fast!

So I ordered a "signed" Revolution model for my nephew...I even had them gift wrap it (I didn't know on-line stores did that?). I hope he has lots of fun with it....and doesn't take after my side of the family or he'll be having panic attacks within a week. His mother is going to hate me for this.
