Okay, this is just a cool store.

Recommended to me by a friend the other year and I just thought it was cool beanz.

Oodles of gidgets and gadgets. Beekers, tubes, science kits, small motors, misc parts for making motors and tinkering projects.

I took my Dad in here on one of his visits to Milwaukee and he went three times. *smiles* And spent hours in here looking at all the odd, wierd, different, and ultimately cool stuff.

Everything you'll never need but will definitely want, like sea-monkey starter kits and remote-controlled miniature blimps.

In Short
Back in 1937, a small ad in Popular Science magazine offered "Ten lenses for 50 cents." The lenses, discarded rejects from a Chicago factory, sold like hotcakes. The company has since grown into three store locations, selling everything from Mexican jumping beans and petri dishes to life-size skeletons and robot parts. While the emphasis is on science and educational equipment, there are plenty of gag gifts to keep you smiling.
