Running out of ideas for wacky presents? Try buying a fake atomic missile to go along with the USB Doomsday Device.

Unleashing Armageddon has never been simpler. With the USB Doomsday Device all you have to do is activate all three levels of failsafe protection in the right sequence: two switches and then turn the key switch. While the first two switches can be accidentally activated by anyone, the third switch is only to be activated with the aid of a special key. Once all three switches are turned on (in the right order) the Main light will glow red and this means the Device is armed and very dangerous.

Now, the fate of this world is in your hands and in case you consider yourself some God-sent obliterator, flip back the plastic shield and press the red button for an explosive sound effect. But what really happens when you press the button? No one can be told what de Device is really triggering. You might as well create another Universe, or you could unleash an atomic winter on some remote planet. You might be in for a nasty surprise, anyway.

Whatever you do with the red button, keep in mind that the USB Doomsday Device is also a 4 port USB hub. As long as people see you’re holding the switch key, no one will dare approach your office desk from now on. Get the USB Doomsday Device from ThinkGeek for only $39.99.
