The real-life "Men Who Stare at Goats" were even weirder
How many of the kooky military research projects featured in The Men Who Stare at Goats really happened? Reality is more complicated than the movie (or the book), reports David Hambling at Wired's Danger Room blog. But reality may also be weirder. Hambling's post examines, Snopes-style, the truth ...

mmmmm... takky...
Ah, yes, the R'lyeh school of furniture design. It never caught on.
Was it just me who misread the designer's name as Cthulhu An Kwak?
I like it - very Beetlejuice.
Tentacular!
they are kinda creepy...a tad War of the Worlds
Not shown: version where table is molesting a busty woman in a schoolgirl uniform.
Do they have a version that squirts ink all over the floor?
Perfect for playing Arkham Horror.
HAMA KAVULA!!!
They are nice until they come alive. Then they aren't.
Do they come with optional Japanese schoolgirls tangled in the legs?
Wow! These are awesome. They look alive.
Looks more like tentacles with tables to me
Didn't wee see these tables as sculptures in "Beetlejuice?"
The one on the right reminds me very strongly of the Tree Keeper's peculiar vehicle.
The long table doesn't look very sturdy to me, but I guess it is.
Fun gift for a marine biologist or a Cthulu fan or to play AD&D on...
Adding to the list of potential gift recipients:
This would be a super present for somebody with a young child. This is just the kind of furniture that is so effective in a young person's room. The greatest effect is right after bedtime, when the room is mostly dark (but with a bit of light from under the door or from a nearby street light).
As a kid I paid plenty of attention at night to things like (a) a shirt hanging from a chair, (b) my Bozo the Clown stand-up punching balloon, and (c) my bedside lamp with a porcelain base in the shape of a snarling lion.
I can't believe nobody's said "Tentables!" yet.
