Here's a device with one very obvious use (although they fail to call it out in the catalog!) A solar powered talking Bible! Who would need such a device? Perhaps, someone who doesn't read, and has no electricity? We're talking 3rd World poor. Yes the perfect device to help the people in this world who have absolutely nothing! A talking bible. For the low low price of $99.95! Wow - Tell Me More!
Let's look at some other things you could buy for the world's mega-poor with $99.95?
Heifer International - offers 5 Chickens for $100, which "Starting at six months, they can lay up to 200 eggs a year, a reliable source of protein for children who otherwise subsist mostly on starches. Extra eggs can be sold to pay for school, clothes and medicine. And in the vegetable garden, chickens peck at bugs and weeds, scratch up the soil and enrich it with droppings." Not bad!
Light Up The World Foundation - allows you to buy solar powered lights for the 2 billion people on the Earth without electricity. $100 will buy you as many as 10 solar powered lights! That's a huge amount of money saved in candles and kerosene. The pollution and health problems avoided are almost immeasurable! Sounds good to me!
Play Pumps - offers you a chance to supply (for $100) a lifetime supply of water to 10 people. Holy shit, my Los Angeles Water and Power bill is more than that each month! They make an amazing pump designed to supply clean water to rural African communities with the power of Children! Yes, it's a playground that allows the child's playtime to power the pump on the well. Fantastic inventive thinking. Awesome and fun!
Habitat For Humanity - you can make a huge contribution to the cost (less than $12,000) of a new home for a family in Rwanda where "the 1994 genocide, crippled the fragile economic base and left 800,000 dead and two million displaced." House a family - NICE!
Or you could just order a talking Bible?!
