At one point in my life, this would be a no-brainer for me. Back when all of my boyfriends (and myself, too) hung out on skateboards and in skateboard parks, this would've been a perfect addition to our homes. Can you see any room for it in yours?

I'm sure there's some modern-day equivalent of the Love Rug, which GiggleSugar recently uncovered. There must be some piece of furniture that substitutes as a furry lover, which, as the copy for this ad so eloquently states, "As you stroke, it strokes. .

I can imagine giving this as a gag gift to a neurosurgeon, or maybe the head of the Mathletes team, but I shudder when I think about putting it in my home. The MYBrain lamp (inquire for price) is just a little too realistic for my taste. How about you?

I detest halitosis as much as the next person, but since when does that mean I should have to sit on my breath freshener of choice. Just because you can turn any round product into the seat of a stool doesn't mean you should. I think I have to go separate ways with "art engineer" Lee J.

Although I've been feeling globe shapes lately, I must say the Michiel van der Kley Globus ($8,775) is one big piece of weird furniture. It is described as a "compact personal mobile workstation," but is basically a desk and and chair on wheels in a big white ball.

For the next round of this challenge, I'd like you to take a look at this French Mountain Region Sculptural Dog Chair ($7500). Hand carved in 1910, this piece of furniture is unusual, to say the least. It's made from walnut, and by the looks of it seems quite substantial.
