Anyone for toast?: The ICS Toastermuseum

Would you believe this is a toaster? And would you believe that it sold for $4,550 on eBay on 4 January 2005? It's the Thomas A. Edison Edicraft Automatic Toaster - and this is just one of the tasty tidbits of cultish information available at the one and only Toastermuseum. The brainchild of Jens Veerbek, The ICS Toastermuseum is probably one of the more mouth-watering cult-phenomena to hit the scene in the last few years. Jens' specialist knowledge may just help you figure out if that old banged-up, greasy toaster of Grandma's is a significant piece of the domestic technocratic revolution! So now that you're all buttered up, why not have a slice of culturge with your next breakfast adventure and take a quick digi-tour of of the Toastermuseum?
