Rain Stick brings out the inner shaman in all of us

Using new technologies previously unavailable to Western programmers, Rain Stick fills your iPhone or iPod touch with a thousand tiny lava pebbles. Tilting the phone causes these beads to trickle through the inner maze of the iPhone, bouncing off circuit boards and chips, producing a pleasing relaxing sound. Don't worry ... the tiny lava pebbles are fully denatured and will not harm the iPhone's components in any way.

The design of Rain Stick has been achieved through use of previously unknown technologies discovered by the developers among ancient Mayan hieroglyphic scripts during a day trip excursion from their cramped and uncomfortable timeshare in Cozumel.

iPhone with Rain Stick
Uses of Rainstick:
  1. Through regular and diligent tilting action, Rain Stick causes it to rain in the immediate vicinity of the iPhone, or your money back! (Note: iPhone and iPod touch are not waterproof. We are not legally responsible for flash-floods caused by over-vigorous rotation of your device.)
  2. By not moving the iPhone, Rain Stick causes it to stop raining. This is especially useful for barbecues, baseball games, outdoor weddings, and graduation parties. Instead of turning the iPhone over and over (which makes it rain), simply turn the following thought over and over in your mind: "I'm not turning the rain stick, therefore it can't be raining."
  3. By using Rain Stick's Shamanistic Powers, minor cuts and abrasions are more rapidly healed. (Note: Do not rely on Rain Stick as a substitute for professional medical attention. Rain Stick is considered a supplement, and as such is not regulated by the FDA. Do not use for broken limbs or gun shot wounds.)

Unlike antique rain sticks (which are now rendered quaint and obsolete), Rain Stick should not be wielded in a threatening manner, for example as one might brandish a baseball bat. Rain Stick instead encourages non-violent negotiation and resolution to confrontations with hoodlums. Upon encountering a brute who insists on relieving you of your phone, simply start up Rain Stick and attempt to calm the ruffian down with the soothing sounds. (If that doesn't work, simply hand the hooligan your iPhone and beg for mercy.) On the good side, no license or waiting period is necessary to use Rain Stick.

Note: Rain Stick helps prevent deforestation. No endangered plant species have been harmed in the creation of Rain Stick.
