1. USEFUL: [1] Among the many useful items in the Thingiverse archives, one tool seemed to rise above the rest. That is, the Car Safety Hammer. In my many hours of watching the Discovery Channel show Mythbusters, I came across an episode attempting to quell myths of car crashes. This episode included cars submerged in water and, through a few experiments, Adam and Jamie discovered that a Car Safety Hammer was the best way to escape from a submerged car before drowning.

2. ARTISTIC/BEAUTIFUL: [2] I have never seen a heart with such unique gears as those in the Keyed Heart Gear Keychain. I wondered how the object actually functioned and found this YouTube video: [3]. The way the gears all disassemble and eventually return to the original positions is fascinating and holds a sort of artistic beauty in my mind.

3. POINTLESS/USELESS: [4] Although it could be a great party costume, the Mustache and Monocle on a Thin Stick has no true value.

4. FUNNY: [5] Introcuing the IBITE iPhone 3 Hat Clip! To be honest, the idea of a hands-free iPhone holder is interesting, but lets be real: the picture is hilarious.

5. WEIRD: [6] I'm sure many people would enjoy this item, but for me the idea of opening my beer with a Brain Bottle Opener is just odd.
