Hammock Mania Knows No Bounds

For the person who has everything…or if you REALLY don’t know what to do with your hard-earned cash, here’s the ultimate gadget for you. Your own Tropical Island Hammock. I saw this on Gizmodo and just about fell out my chair laughing.
According to the seller’s webpage:
The Tropical Island Hammock is an utterly ludicrous and totally sublime complete paradise solution.
Two artificial palm trees (over 2 meters high and UV protected) complete with very realistic Tahitian palm fronds and coconuts support a triple woven polyester double hammock.
Both the hammock and the palm trees are built to withstand all weather conditions (except perhaps typhoons), and not only does the hammock come with a rope drink caddy and pillow, the palm trees come with an integrated dual-control mist mechanism for keeping you cool on hot summer days.
“Ludicrous” is correct. You can purchase this fantasy for lightly over US$8000. What a deal (NOT)! And no returns! On second thought, I think I’ll save the dough, stay in my backyard and order the season’s supply of coconut rum, coconut water and Guinness, each to be enjoyed responsibly on various lazy days while lying in my own hammock under real trees. Much cheaper, and much more entertaining.
