When faced with important decisions there are many ways to choose who gets screwed and who gets lucky. Drawing straws is one option, as is tossing a coin. You can even play eeny-meeny-miney-mo but that can look a tad childish, especially in the boardroom. That's why you need a Shockball.

This ingenious little globe might look like a hi-tech baseball but it is actually a spiteful little sphere that delivers random electric shocks. The idea is to throw it around hot potato style until some poor sap eventually gets a nasty (but harmless) electric shock. Funny, eh?

Just think of the possibilities. You can use Shockball to decide who buys the first round, who has to fire the senior vice president, who gets to kick off, or who has to ask the hairy biker in the corner what perfume he's wearing (well, you never know).

But even if you don't have any important decisions to make, passing Shockball around faster than the check at the end of a meal is still spectacularly amusing. It's a bit like playing hot potato with a grenade, only you won't end up with a Tom & Jerry-style chargrilled face. You will, however, suffer from an involuntary bout of blue room comedic material and let rip with a volley of four letter words as Shockball delivers its electrifying coup de grâce.

Passing this malicious little plaything around can become unbearably tense and it's insanely addictive because the shocks are totally random. You could receive an electronic frazzle immediately or get buzzed after what seems like an eternity. You won't have to worry about power loss as Shockball's rechargeable battery gives up to 4 hours of continuous play. There's even an auto-off function to prolong battery life. So why not get ordering pronto and prepare to be totally shocked by the most entertaining little orb in the univerzzz. Ouch!
