Apparently, it will light up *and* talk to you. The particular one
featured is described thusly - "The Galaxy and Radio Days collections
literally light up the bath. Innovative Tech Touch wireless technology
lights the stars and provides a prerecorded description of the planets.
This collection will be the star of the bath for budding astronomers,
sci-fi fans and anyone who wants to add a note of interactive drama. The
shower curtain is a striking full-color vinyl print of the galaxy. Tech
Touch illuminates the stars and gives a prerecorded sound tour of the
planets. The tumbler features high-intensity super-white light when
removed from its base and the toothbrush holder gives dramatic sound
effects when spun on its base. The Galaxy collection includes shower
curtain, shower curtain hooks, tumbler, toothbrush holder and a bath rug
in the shape of the planet Saturn, with its rings."

My comment: Holy mother of vinegar.

Not the words I thought, but that pretty much captures my reaction to
this information.

Although the cost was surprisingly low (under $15, IIRC), one would
think that the lecture would get *old*. Perhaps you can turn it off.

Hal's comment, Yeah, you won't find a lot of that out with
lynx, I bet.
