Ever wonder where they come up with those numbers in lawsuits alleging emotional damages? Perhaps they’re calculated with the help of this handy gizmo from toymaker/genius factory Wiz, which will go on sale (to the public) Jan 24.

Has someone wronged, slighted or otherwise hurt you recently? Slap a monetary value on the transgression by inputting all the circumstances into this handy (Japanese-language) machine and hitting the “calculate emotional damages” button. For your convenience, the unit comes with three invoicing sheets to serve to the offender. It also functions as a standard abacus-killer as well. (Metropolis)
