I knew I had to do a

Bad Astronomer-like

"want" post. This is a

definite

want. You can now be the first in your galaxy to have this awesome new bedding set. The duvet and pillow comes from a Dutch bedding shop named Snurk (that's Dutch for 'snoring'): "Underneath these sheets you will dream far beyond the stars...lie down, close your eyes and feel gravity decrease instantly." They are now taking pre-orders, available in March.
