I guess it’s a given fact that we, as geeks, want to run the world. And what a better way to have global domination that being a spy. You know, because you get to do spy things.

So in thinking of the best way to be the next James (Jane, in my case) Bond, I’m going to need some tools. Right?

And I need to keep it legal. Because, as Jane Bond, I’m not working for anyone right now and there is no Q giving me handy-dandy gadgets to get my spy on.

First of all, I will need a camera. But not just any camera, but one that I can hide in plain site. In our spy careers, it’s best to not be too obvious.

I will also need other equipment. I have to be able to give a death blow, but then again, as Jane Bond, I will have to be able to subdue someone from a distance. Yeah, I need some death stars.

And the important this is, that everything I might need needs to be legal (even if there is some fuzzy math to it all) and I think I’ve found the perfect spy starter kit.

Webupon has a list of the Top Ten tools you would need to get into the spy business. 

Let’s be clear, you don’t have to be in the CIA or the NSA to be a spy. I guess you could just buy this stuff, but it in the Aston-Martin, just like each and every Bond has had, and start spying. The one thing to remember is that everything you have will be legal, so you don’t have to worry about getting stopped for speeding and you won’t get in trouble.

Well, maybe a little trouble, we live in a different world, but not too much.

These items will just help you get the fantasy of your Bond on.

Rachel Christie is quite an accomplished young woman.  Or she was, anyway.  At age 21, not only is she in training for the 2012 London Olympics as a heptathlete, she also found some time on her days off to become the first black winner of the Miss England competition.  However, while she might still represent […]

The 2009 inductees for the National Toy Hall of Fame have been announced, and this year’s class of honorees is the direct opposite of last year’s class.  Where the 2008 version required a lot of imagination to wring the most fun out of them, 2009’s hall of fame class requires a lot less thinking and […]

After 13 years on the police force, Terry Ashe has seen and experienced a lot of crazy things.  However, he hasn’t lost his sense of humor, or his ability to tell an appropriately lurid tale.  When his police cruiser was bitten by an angry alligator (apparently this is a common problem in Florida), he could’ve […]

Any time a baby goes missing, a big manhunt breaks out.  Fortunately for 7-month-old Shannon Lea Dedrick, her story has a happy ending.  Unfortunately for Shannon’s mother, Chrystina Lynn Mercer, and babysitter, Susan Elizabeth Brown, the baby’s happy ending will probably get them both jail time.  Shannon was reported missing on Saturday, and was discovered […]

It was a scene worthy of the great Mark Twain; indeed, it was a crucial moment in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer!  A case of mistaken identity allowed a Brazilian man named Ademir Jorge Goncalves to make an appearance at a very unlikely event:  his own funeral.  It’s like something out of a Coffin Joe […]

The champagne is drying in the locker room, and the Bronx is celebrating this morning as the New York Yankees have claimed their 27th World Series championship as the best team in Major League Baseball.  To the victors go the spoils, like rings, a trophy, and a ticker-tape parade through New York’s Canyon Of Heroes.  […]

There’s one thing that’s fun about slot machines.  You put money into them, lights flash and bells ring, and if you’re lucky, you’re a winner and money clinks noisily into the winnings slot.  Most of the time, you don’t get anything but the lights and noise, but Bill Seebeck hit the jackpot.  Literally and figuratively.  […]
