The Silicone Finger Protector - now you can chop your onions like you're in a slasher film

Since we've had several mishaps with knives - mishaps that included gushing blood, late night trips to the emergency room, stitches and permanent scars -- we were excited to discover a solution to our kitchen knife klutziness. The brilliant students of MIT have created the silicone finger protector. [Check out this and other unuseless inventions known as the Japanese art of Chindogu]:

This silicone substitute hand is designed to reduce the danger of cutting your own fingers when preparing food. Careless choppers can become carefree, slicing away at high speed, safe in the knowledge that damage done will be to a hand that doesn't mind. It won't recoil from dirty jobs either, so if you happen to be phobic about raw onions, fish scales, or the slippery debris that collects in the plughole of the kitchen sink, allow the fearless silicone fingers to lend a hand.
