Disinfect Your Silverware With UV Light

In between cruel laughing fits at the down-and-out state of affairs at overpriced crapfactory Sharper Image, I found mention of this gay- and OCD-friendly gizmo that purports to clean your silverware with ultraviolet light:
A quick 10-second scan is all it takes to destroy staph, salmonella, E.coli, flu viruses and more on keyboards, mice, phones, doorknobs, counters, pens - even a piano! Long-lasting, 4,000-hour UV bulb provides a lifetime of surface scans. Runs on 2 AAA batteries.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not suggesting that anyone toss pennies (let alone $79.95, which is the price tag of this bad boy) at the Sinking Image, but I am suggesting that we all enjoy a manly giggle at the psychological ramifications of buying a magic wand to clean every tine of your forks. Because soap is so dirty.

Just this evening a friend and I had a WTFit in Target over a $20 variant of this device which claimed to kill 99% of all germs, viruses, etc. on one's toothbrush.
We wondered whether or not one could make tanning pattern art on one's skin with it...
