I'll be the next person to allow the suggestion to save your money to persist.  Do you think you'll be using any of these silly things in a month from now?  A year from now?

One book is educational. The other two will take a while to complete.

The Sick Day handbook will be used as a reference book.

Megazooka will constantly find itself new victims. It'll take a while to get tired of that one.

So far, the Ninja Remote hasn't bored me.

Spork of the Gods does seem retarded though.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I didn't say they wouldn't entertain you.  I'm suggesting you save your money, not spend it on what I believe to be cooler things.

EDIT -
I'm not going to buy one, but Spork of the Gods looks like a nice gift.
The soprk is pretty cool. I got my friend one for his birthday. I have a few, too. I use them all the time, and I have one tossed in my camping stuff along with that sweedish fire http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/7f02/knifes[/url]. They're all pretty useful if you actually like.. do stuff.

Joe... I second Sidoh's notion; save your money.

Super_X, I'm going to buy an iPod and then a drumkit (which will obviously be used on the long-term, and then have re-sell value if they don't reach the end of their lifespan by the time I'm tired of them), and then re-evaulate my shopping list. I make good enough money that I could buy a few small things and not break a long-term budget. I totally recognize the need for saving for college, but remember that I'm just a sophomore so I have time, and I'm going to end up buying a few kid things.

EDIT -
Sweedish Fire is just flint and steel times twenty, right?
