MYMICROBOTS look neat, do nothing

If you really want to piss off your kids this Christmas, try buying them a gift that not only does nothing, but that they can't even see. Fabricated from the same techniques that will one day spawn the dreaded
nanobot-takeover, MYMICROBOTS are 500-micron tall "action figures" whose features can only be viewed properly at 100x magnification. The tiny bots are each made from a different material (such as plexiglass, gold, and copper), and with names like Bitty, Bling, and Switch, each have their own "personalities." Since it would be a nightmare trying to find these little guys in a mess of packing peanuts, they are thoughtfully shipped and presented in cases constructed from "space-age" plastic (what is this, 1953?). But unless you want to unleash your tyke's nasty side this holiday season, you may be better off spending your ten bucks on that other invisible old standby, the rascally Sea Monkey.
