While my own friends have marveled in amazement (or disgust) at my ability to operate the Wiimote while expending the least amount of energy possible, the WiiHelm makes my feeble arm movements feel like feats of strength in comparison. Looking as if it came straight out of a Tron costume rack, the WiiHelm is a significant step towards reducing any sort of beneficial movement during a Wii gaming session. Now we can finally do more important things with our hands, such as eating cheese puffs and dunking Oreo cookies!

Simply attach your Wii remote to the device and leave the movement to your neck muscles. ThinkGeek sites studies that find manipulating muscles in your neck uses about 64% less energy than flailing around your arms. If the luxury of hands-free Wii Tennis matches doesn't appeal to you, surely these frightening numbers of energy waste is reason enough to motivate you to do less. And don't worry about games that require you to use buttons, as all the buttons are mapped to foot pedals that relegates the pressing of buttons to your toes. When was the last time you complained that wiggling your toes was hard work?

Four frontal LED lights also provide illumination for when the light switch is just too far away and a double reinforced head-strap makes sure that Wiimote-induced accidents are a thing of the past. However, don't count on using the Nunchuck as the WiiHelm doesn't support games requiring its use, or the extra physical exertion it'd require. As an added bonus, use of the helmet and accompanying movements give the illusion that you require supervision at all times lest you hurt yourself or accidentally eat lead paint chips. The company is nice for when you can't even be bothered to get up and refill your drink. This entropy-inducing gadget would be yours for $24.99 if it sadly wasn't a very well-designed April fools joke (thanks Alan!).
