Nov 10 2008Why Am I Not Surprised?: An R2-D2 Aquarium
He's been steampunkified, LEGOfied, made into cakes, a fridge, a USB hub, a home theater system, a trashcan (surprise, surprise), a computer case, and even a beanie, and now, in his latest incarnation, it's R2-D2 as an aquarium. The $129 aquatic habitat is sold by Hammacher Schlemmer and has a 1.75-gallon capacity. "R2's eye-piece even works as a periscope so you can get an up close look at your little buddies while they meander around." Then, you can eat them. Mmmm, fish sticks!

Thanks to Hunter, who had a birthday last week and is finally old enough to legally kick ass.

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its fake, the shadows are all wrong.
Its like the scene in the movie Never Back Down when Baja filled the droid with water and fishes.
