We have got to get this
Wired magazine tipped me off this month to the ultimate foosball table, which not only changes colors but lets you put your own faces on the players.
"Prices for the standard version start from £25,000. (prices are exclusive of VAT)"
25,000 British pounds = 45,930 U.S. dollar
Whew!

Sure, it costs as much as an average teacher makes in a year, but come on! It's a freakin' sweet foosball table!
Yeah, it's pricey, but split ten ways it's only prohibitively expensive instead of ridiculously expensive. And with the option of extra interchangeable player heads the possibilities are limitless: we could have, for example, the cast of Facts of Life square off against the US Supreme Court.
