If Captain Jack Sparrow had a toaster

I'm not really sure what this gadget's product page is saying, because it's all in German. But regardless, I want this toaster. It's sleek, black, and printed with a skull-and-crossbones as well as a bizarre Guns & Roses reference ("Sweet Toast of Mine") and get this--it'll brand your toast with a skull-and-crossbones as well.

Then your toast can have a pirates-vs.-ninjas battle with your Wee Ninja. Arrrrr!

How did you miss the USB missile launcher?

I'm no Deutschophile, either, so I couldn't understand the blurb, but at the bottom of the page with the "todtenkopf" (death head) toaster, tehre was what appeared to be a USB rocket launcher. Probably some kind of nerf rockets, but I thought it'd fit right in with the "useless USB stuff" trend that sees to permeate Crave.

I still love you Caroline. New hair looks beautiful. Time to get an agent - you're prettier than Lindsay L.

Okay, so here's a translation of the German site's description:

Skull Toaster SKULL-Toast - Not something for the weak of heart! Those who like it rough or are whole-hearted buccaneers cannot pass up the Skull Toaster. In luxurious black, it doesn't just make a noteworthy conversation piece on the breakfast table. The results of its toasting process are also not to underestimate!

We recommend: Only serve this toast to good friends or acquaintances.

That has to be the single most awesome thing I've ever seen. It ought to go perfectly with the Jolly Roger badge holder (http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/57af/) I wear at work...
