...Lanka, Mahalingam, 58, related to TIME the saga of his 101-day ordeal as a captive of Somali pirates. It began, he says, with "the flash of 5 to 10 shots. Straightaway I knew it must be pirates."

Then pour a fresh glass, sit back and enjoy. Next Product: Bot Crazy...

A magnifying glass, included, lets you see the ants' surprisingly sharp claws and even the hair on their bodies. For special effects, blue LED lights can be attached to the bottom of AntWorks to make it glow day and night. Next Product: Roll and Rock...
