This is an amazon.com ad for a $500 cable being sold. Go down and just read the product reviews, they're hilarious.

Honestly, this was a great distraction for me at work. Some of the comments are well-written and quite funny.

Ha ha. Loved them!

Apparently the result of an improper connection and the cable's high data transfer speed, I mistakenly caused the collision of a pair of positrons (i.e. leptons) at several hundred GeV. While the resulting mini black hole theoretically proved the validity of superstring theory and may result in endless new perpetual energy sources, it also stained our Berber carpet.

And, did you know that you got a nod on Boing Boing?
