• Top 5 Weirdest Things You Can Buy on Amazon.com

  

  We all know Amazon.com is a mecca for new books, used books, books on Kindle, textbooks, and, well, books. But these days you can get literally anything on Amazon. Lovelyish dug through the site to find some pretty interesting wares -- and if you buy enough of them, you might be able to get your odd junk delivered with free shipping.

  5. Weird Charm Bracelets - $4.99

   

  

  

  Basically, for $5, you can get anything you want lasered onto a link for one of those tacky bracelets. The fine folks at Body Candy have come up with a few suggestions for you. We suggest getting all the states in alphabetical order interspaced with weird hats and crude slogans.

  4. Prebuilt Sauna - $12,370

  

  Yep, you can buy a sauna on Amazon. Check out that price tag! And the best part is, the shipping is listed as $2.00. I dare someone to order this, and see if 2 bucks will actually land that sauna on your doorstep.

  3. UFO Detector - $94.95

  

  ET could have gotten home a lot faster with this handy gizmo: Over the years many UFO sightings have reported magnetic and electromagnetic disturbances. The UFO Detector is designed to sense these disturbances and will signal their presence by flashing an LED and beeping. The elegantly designed transparent plastic case is a handsome sculptured conversation piece that allows one to see the electronics inside the case.

  Ah, look at that elegant design. Looks impressive, right? Actually, this bad boy is only 3 inches by 6 inches. But how cool would it be if it started going berserk? One reviewer describes it as a "must have if you live in New Mexico," and someone else says (tongue in cheek), "I installed this on my dashboard, and as we approached EPCOT (A Disney theme park) this thing started to go off like crazy! Yes, the "Spaceship Earth" as they call it at EPCOT is in fact a real UFO."

  2. Instant Poop: Turd in a Can

  

  From Amazon: Just shake well and spray some in a swirl pattern and you'll have a instant pile of poop. Of course everyone will be wondering who to blame it on. Looks and smells really bad. (Please read instructions on can before using. Do not spray directly on person, furniture or clothing.)

  This spray doo-doo has managed to climb its way to #78 in the "Gags and Practical Jokes" category. And interestingly, people who bought Reddi-Poop also purchased an Ann Coulter book. (insert your own joke here)

  and while we're on that theme....

  1. Coyote Urine (1 Gallon Jug) - $99.95

  

  A jug o' coyote urine? SCORE! Wait, but why? The site gives this cryptic description:

  Use our 100 percent urine lures to create the illusion predators are present in the area you wish. Great for photographers, gardeners, hunters and wildlife enthusiasts. Due to changes in shipping regulations, we cannot ship this item to California.

  Ok, I don't get it. First, of all, this stuff is stupidly expensive. Second, you put the urine out because it will make pesky animals go away, because they think coyotes are there? How does that benefit photographers?? And, c'mon, California! Maybe those folks in Santa Cruz just need a little coyote pee in their lives. Cut them some slack.

  Do you shop online, or at Amazon? What do you usually buy?
