Just bought one of these the other day...

Mechanical Gripper.

This thing is changing my life...

I can pick up things around the house at break neck pace.

My kids have met their match.

If the Gripper gets hold of the stuff they leave laying around...

It's all mine...

This is gonna be one of the best Garage Sales we've had in a long time. :D

I recommended one of those for my wife, she then proceeded to show how she can pick up things with her feet, her toes are so freakin long she's like an ape. She can easy grasp a large orange with her feet. My wife, the apewoman.
