Get your Rocky Balboa on with the Talking Digital Jumprope

We might be a little more into this if they took a page from Nike/Philips' book and gave it a Bluetooth module or something, but we can't help loving that cross-training has officially gone geek chic. So if you're ready to eat lightning and crap thunder, the Talking Digital Skipping Rope (or Jumprope, if you're Americans such as we) has a calorie counter (with voice announcements), jump counter, timer, and adjustable rope length (in case you're, you know, as stout as the Italian Stallion).
