'Lightsaber Umbrella' for dry nerdiness

by Mike Yamamoto

We're almost afraid to post any information about this item because more people might actually buy it.

Some of us at Crave happen to think that the undying popularity of the Lightsaber is a sign of societal decay--or at least depressing nerdiness. But being equal-opportunity bloggers, we feel obligated to mention the "Lightsaber Umbrella" featured on Red Ferret.

There's not much to say, really--it's name pretty much sums it up. It lights up and keeps you dry. Or, more important, it keeps your DS Lite dry. (More photos here.)

Very BladeRunner-ish! I would so love to have one of those umbrella's during a
stormy and foggy day. It may actually be quite useful for safety personnel as
well!

Or for crossing guards to use!
