I want this measuring cup! Want!

...boil twenty thousand grains of rice in twenty thousand drops of water...

There are geeks at their computers, geeks in front of their TVs, and now there are geeks in the kitchen. As with other breeds of geek, they're fastidious, don't read manuals, usually make a huge mess, and absolutely must must MUST have the latest and greatest gadgets to "help" them do their jobs.

We know there's a huge overlap between the different breeds of geek - so we decided to make sure you culinary types are covered. Are you a science-geek and a kitchen-geek? You're obviously going to need this measuring cup. Laboratory-grade borosilicate glass with the standard ounce and milliliter graduation-marks, but if you look closer - you'll find marks for "volume of half a human brain," and "water in a cumulus cloud the size of a bus."

Just imagine how convenient it is to have those measurements ready to go at your fingertips! As an added incentive, we offer you a recipe for the best pancakes in the world - the kind of recipe only a geek can love.


Light and Fluffy 1337cakes

2.7 billion grains of unbleached all-purpose flour

600 thousand granules of sugar

167 million granules of table of NaCl

83.5 million granules of C4H6O6

250 million granules of NaHCO3

4000 drops of buttermilk

1000 drops of milk

1 large gallus domesticus ovum, separated

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1. Mix dry ingredients in medium bowl. Pour buttermilk and milk into 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup. Whisk in ovum cytoplasm; mix yolk with melted butter, then stir into milk mixture. Dump wet ingredients into dry ingredients all at once; whisk until just mixed.

2. Meanwhile, heat a large flat ferrous sheet to approximately 464 degrees Kelvin. Brush the sheet generously with oil. Pour batter onto the ferrous sheet so that the batter disks are no closer than 3cm apart. Flip the pancakes when the bottoms are the color of Pantone-472C, approximately 150 seconds. Cook for an additional 90 seconds. Re-oil the skillet and repeat until your supply of batter has been depleted.
