ISIS puzzle

Ran across this gizmo in the Sharper Image catalog.
http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/ca...7lqOiMr9shGVaw

Anybody here have any experience with one?
I'd love to have one but knowing me, I couldn't solve it, then I'd be all PO'ed that I'd spent $200 on a high dollar metal ball with some fancy etchings on it.

Somebody talk me into buying one anyways!

And when you finally open the puzzle, the contest/prizes will probably be expired.

Save your money.

Whey you get it open it leaks oil, a English habit.
Buy a bunch of 'em and play a game of Bucce ball.

I dunno... $200 for a puzzle that you can't figure out?

Heck, take your wife to dinner and a movie...half the money, and you'll never figure her out, either.

I'm thinking that might be the solution - isn't ISIS the Egyptian goddess of fertility?

If you haven't already the customer reviews are interesting........

That looks exactly like one I had about 25 years ago. It was wooden and we got in a truck stop or a Stuckeys gift shop or something on the road. It was probably five bucks.

But, I spent hours and hours on the freakin thing and once I got it apart, it never did go back together.

I thought it was Bill Clinton asking the definition "What IS IS?".
