If you want to take your devotion to all things Nintendo to the next level, or just fancy having a house that looks like it was invaded by art student layabouts, then Mario Mushroom lamps are going to turn you on.





Geekologie report:

"Brando.com.hk is selling these mushroom lamps, which resemble the shrooms from Mario Brothers. They're powered by 4 AA batteries, and their illumination comes from 2 white LEDs. You mash the top to turn them on and off, which is fun. They cost $12, which isn't too shabby, and come in the colors shown above. Just don't take a bite of one for a midnight snack."

At 12 bucks they are somewhat of a bargain, and if you don't mind sacrificing all vestiges of stylishness or the hope of ever having a girlfriend, you're onto a winner.

And no, eating them will not make you run around at double speed, grow to twice your height, or become impervious to physical harm. You have been warned.
