Big box

Schruted up: NBC’s The Office may be the only thing saving American network TV from being an endless parade of sitcoms featuring fat husbands with hot wives and scary-terrorist-paranoia-dramas. OfficeTally is the amazing blog that links to all things Office-related on the Web, from the hilarious online-only webisodes and deleted scenes to the best blog-postings of Office producer, performer (Kelly) and official Networthy crush-of-the-week Mindy Kaling.

Giant robot: Literally. Who knew that Bandai makes a 1/12th-scale vinyl kit of the RX-78 Gundam, the classic progenitor of the long-running franchise? This monster is as big as a (Japanese) person, has near-Shaq-sized feet and its lit-up head and giant space rifle would probably make a burglar crap his pants even as he falls over laughing. It arrives in a Costco-sized box and is a lot sexier than a suit of armor. See one being assembled by some hyperactive Japanese kids at www.ne.jp/asahi/robot/kingkizer/rx78.html.
