Designer Cléon Daniel built this donut pool table. It’s a pool table that looks like a donut, in case you couldn’t tell. He also built one that looks like a banana back in 2013. Hopefully he’ll do a pizza version next. Why? Because pizza is the tits, that’s why! What kind of question is that?

This rotating Air Hockey/Billiards table is perfect for any mancave since you get two games in one. It’s especially great if you are limited on space. This space saving solution is versatile and stylish, not to mention fun.
The air hockey side features a glossy white playing surface and a 110-volt blower with 3″ solid MDF rails and heavy-duty aprons. The 7′ billiards table is made from warp-resistant, high-density MDF and covered in a nylon blend cloth.
If you want to change the game, just rotate and lock into place. It comes with two 57″ cues, balls, rack, chalk, two air hockey strikers, and two pucks. It will cost you $799.95(USD) over at Hammacher Schlemmer, so you are talking about just $400 per side. Not bad when you consider the convenience and the cool factor.

Located within the 4-star Hotel Terme Millepini in Montegrotto Terme, Italy, is the world’s deepest pool. It’s called Y-40, The Deep Joy. The name refers to the Y-axis (the vertical one), and -40 meters of depth (that’s 131 feet). It’s about 5 meters deeper than the previous world’s deepest pool, the Nemo 33, in Belgium. Containing 4,300 cubic meters (151,853 cu. ft.) of spa water maintained at a constant temperature of 32-34c (around 90F), you don’t need a wet suit to dive down. And on your way to the bottom you’ll encounter four caves for technical underwater training, as well as a viewing tunnel for curious onlookers. We’re not sure about regular admission prices, but a poster on their website advertises 100 dives for 2,000€, which works out to about $25 a dive.

Fancy sleeping on a pool? Not in a pool or on a water bed, but on a pool? Now you can, although it isn’t exactly an actual pool with Snurk’s pool bedding. The duvet cover set features a photographic print on both sides of the bottom of a pool. The water looks inviting and oh-so-refreshing. It’s definitely a welcome sight after all these too-warm and humid days we’ve been having lately (or in my part of the world, anyway.)
The set includes pillow cases so you can sink into a deep slumber and drown in sweet dreams. The Swimming Pool-themed beddings are available for €59.95 (about $79.)

Summer is just starting in the northern hemisphere, but once temperatures start going down again, you’ll need a little extra to keep swimming pools functional, and this might just be it.
Swimming is one of the most well-balanced activities and really fun whether you need to get your working out on or just enjoy chilling in the water. Regardless of the virtues of the activity itself, it can get pretty hard to find the motivation to jump in during the coldest days of the year. And, because a pool heater is sort of out of the question if you’d rather spend your money in both practical and impractical gadgets, here’s a solution for you. This is the $38.95 Therma Spring Solar Mats.
The Therma Spring Solar Mats work without being connected to any outlets nor pumps. Just by putting them on your pool, they will capture solar energy and use it to raise the pool temperature, while becoming sort of an insulating blanket during the night, helping the heat remain there. This works irregardless of the shape of your pool, but is at it’s best when it covers at least 70% of its surface.

When you tell people that there’s a giant cockroach in the water, then you can expect a few of them to freak out and jump out of the pool because, well, there’s a roach. But put this particular giant roach into the pool, and you’ll get a few disgusted side glances at most along with a couple of double-takes.
The Giant Cockroach float is exactly what its name says it is, and while it may not feel as scratchy as an actual roach (“scratchy” being my choice of adjective, after several encounters with roaches that seemed to think that it was a good idea to hide in my shoe, of all places), it’s still very much capable of raising the hairs of those who are katsaridaphobic.
The float is available online for $29.95.

You probably have a favorite pool cue, but I don’t care what yours looks like, it is nothing next to this bad boy. Yours stick is a wimp compared to this one. What you’re looking at here is the world’s most expensive pool cue. It looks more like a legendary weapon you might find in Diablo 3 than a pool cue. In fact, if you ever find yourself across the pool table from Satan, you’d better be packing this weapon. I mean cue.
Those four bladed wings look pretty dangerous and it also has a genuine Italian obsidian gemstone sphere at the base. It is also inlaid with 24K Gold, has deep relief & French grey scroll engraving. There are over 210 separate inlays, including 112 hand-polished Precious Metal inlays on the handle.
If you’re serious about your pool you’ll need to hustle your opponents for $150,000(USD) before you can afford one.
