Penguin Tea Timer

Thanks to listener Steve Leth, whose letter was read by Dick in Episode 938, Leo presents to us the surprise gadget of the week, the Penguin Tea Timer available on stupid.com.  You can hang the ball strainer (provided) or a tea bag from the beak of the Penguin, set the timer back to zero (which lowers the beak and the tea into the mug), set the desired time, and when the time is up, the beak will rise, lifting the strainer or tea bag out of the mug at the same time.  It also doubles up as a kitchen timer (up to 20 minutes).

This is the 4th appearance on DGW of the Penguin Tea Timer – in addition to Episodes 501, 542 and 938.

Ristorante Petaluma

Paul Del Nunzio writes in to talk about the Petaluma Restaurant on 1st Avenue in New York City.  Next time Leo goes to New York and feels home-sick, Dick can take him to the Italian restaurant.  As an IT consultant nearing 50, Paul is grateful to Dick for reminding us of the history of technology.
