The colours are a bit gay, but it works great. It has a hinge at each inch - and it 12" in length. Ideal for calculating tricky moves!

I picked one up in WHSmiths, but I found this on on Ebay.

Errrrrrr... is it sticky?

Because I can't work out why else you wouldn't be able to put it down' or why it guarantees 'hours of fun.'


The things people say to get rid of their tat...


Oh, and you are right about the colour.


:D

Amazing folding ruler! You'll spend hours and hours playing with this little contraption.

YES: it's a proper 30cm ruler! But the magic is that it's made up of 12 parts that you bend and fold and make a million and one constructions!

The ruler will appeal the young and old - once you pick it up, you'll never put it down!

Fold it up, fold it down, fold it right and fold it left... it's like a therapeutic version of the rubiks cube!

It will give you hours of fun! Play with it on the train, on the way to school, on the way to work!

A simple invention: but pure joy and fun for all to enjoy!


wtf.... it looks like a ton of fun....

I can see how it would be usefull though, like puting it up on its side and such. I think it would be prety easy to make somthing though.

It can be used to measure turning move very accurately, that is why it is useful! Nice find, Ebob.

And of course it double as a pocket boomerang...
