Allow me a childish moment, if you will. Months ago I made Sparky, my pet neuron. I just found out that Giant Microbes (a company I love dearly), now makes THIS!

Let’s take a look side by side, shall we?

Giant Microbes Brain Cell:

It’s not like they ripped me off. The plush neuron is simply an idea that has reached it’s proper time for creation in the order of the universe.

The child in me pouts at the fact that I seem to be forever JUST ahead of this order. I make strange products, only to discover that someone else has independently created a nearly identical product…and is reaping serious financial benefit as my version sits happily on a shelf or wall, reaping dust and the occasional entertained smirk from visitors.
