Moppels: Anthropomorphic LED Lamps
by Justin Thomas, Virginia on 01.29.07
Moppels are flexible desk lamps from Germany that use energy efficient leds for illumination. In fact, they will run for more than 100 hours on three (rechargeable) AAA batteries in the provided battery box or they can be plugged into a computer USB port. Moppels come in a variety of designs including dinosaurs, snakes and various human personae. Some feature magnetic or suction cup hands and feet, so they can stick to surfaces. Priced at $25, they make a nice gift. They can be found at Lights and Knives. :: Via Technabob

Are they seriously suggesting you can have them magnetically attached to your computer? The other ones sound cool though.
If you read more about the moppels you will see that some of the moppels have magnets or suction cups so you can stick them to a refridgerator, desk or closet wall. I don't think any one is advising that these be stuck onto a laptop. The USB power connections is a great feature though.
