Why Don’t Globes Glow in the Dark?

Tell me. What exactly can a globe do other than show you where land masses and bodies of water are located? Oh, right. It can spin around. I forgot that part. Seriously though, can’t it do anything cool?!
The Celestial Globe from ThinkGeek is WAY cool. Not only is it a standard run-of-the-mill globe that sits on your desk… it glows in the dark. And while it’s glowing in the dark… it changes from world map to celestial map. That’s right. You’ll get a map of all of the constellations! How cool is that?!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an omniscient and omnipotent being floating high above the world you rule over? It would be wonderful to be in full control over everything, instead of being stuck listening to the commands of your boss and your other boss and your other other boss. Well, while we can’t give you such powers, we can provide a nice bit of daydream fuel. The Celestial Globe is a beautiful addition to your desk. Stare over it and pretend it is the world that you and only you control.
And get this: the people living on your planet (which strangely resembles Earth) have a surprise for you. When the lights go off, they set off a bajillion fireworks in your honor. It’s true – turn off the lights and the photosensor turns on a brilliant blue, LED-lit map of the constellations. And not just points of light, but with graphical representations and labels. You must be a very benevolent deity to get such adoration. We’re proud of you.
This awesome little gadget globe is available on ThinkGeek for only $40.00. I’m tellin ya… you want one of these.

This globe is simply amazing. They maybe need to make a model where the dark area on the globe corresponds with the time of day. That would be really cool.
