Are you a geek? Do you have children?

This is possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen.

My son at 20 months old is still too young for Star Wars. I love this product description though:

This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, internal intestines and glowing lightsaber zipper pull

You DO remember the actual chain of events (in the movie) that provided the necessary warmth on that ice planet? Huh? Slashing open the Taun-Taun's belly so that the warm guts steamed out I think that part has to be re-created as well. "DeLuxe version comes with simulated intrails, can be pre-heated in microwave oven. Not suitable of children under 30".
