Thomas Edison Finger Puppet and Refrigerator Magnet - By The Unemployed Philosophers Guild

The Wizard of Menlo Park, now appearing at your home! That's right, the genius who gave us the phonograph, the movie camera, and the light bulb can now be on the tip of your finger. Put on your own puppet shows in which Edison creates inventions of the future. "With my new humanatomizer, a person can be reduced to a fine mist and transported via pneumatic tube anywhere in the world." Granted, we have that already, but you can imagine the fun you'll have with just a little imagination. The Thomas Edison Puppet is about 4 inches tall and looks very much like the elderly Edison. Even at this small size, the detail is very impressive. He even has a lightbulb in his hand! The puppet is also magnetized, so you can stick him on your refrigerator, filing cabinet, or your electromacrograph.rous debate surrounds the question of whether it was a "disappearing" chalice.)

Others argue that the UPG dates from the High Middle Ages, when the Philosophers Guild entered the world of commerce by selling bawdy pamphlets to pilgrims facing long lines for the restroom. Business boomed until 1211 when Pope Innocent III condemned the publications. Not surprisingly, this led to increased sales, even as half our membership was burned at the stake.

More recently, revisionist historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to the time it was still cool to live in New York City's Lower East Side. Two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.
