I was shopping at the mall for something for my Mom's birthday last month and ran into what is called a "puzzle box" at one of the stores. You had to do different things to it, like spin it clockwise, then turn a dial a certain way and shake it while facing a certain direction etc. to open it. The box which was probably 5" (100mm) X 2.5" (50 mm) x 1" (25mm) was also beautifully crafted from rare woods as well.
Wouldn't you know it.... the damned store was sold out. I asked them the name of the manufacturer of the boxes and from some clever internet searching found some even better. The site I ordered mine from actually had some that required 28 moves to open the box. Amazing !! It's completely off the wall and doesn't relate much to metal music, but I thought it was interesting enough to share here. Here is the link of the store I bought mine from.....

That would make a very nice gift for my father who is otherwise impossible to shop for.
Glad someone liked it (you too Hawk.) I think they are cool as hell, but I actually "played" with one at a store and it was super cool. It only took 3 or 4 moves to open though. The ones I ordered take ten moves.
