Big electric paper shredders are fine for Martha Stewart or Enron, but they're really overkill for people like you and me.

If you've been looking for something to shred the occasional ATM receipt or secret love note, then Stupid.com has got the stupid solution!

These cute l'il hand-operated shredders will turn slips of paper into a jumble of indecipherable shreds. (Hey -- I think "indecipherable" is the longest word used on Stupid.com.)

Just stick in some paper, turn the crank, and watch the paper disappear into the animal. When you open it up, you'll find a mess of thin paper spaghetti that would challenge even the CIA to put back together. (granted, that's not saying much these days)

The Mini Animal Paper Shredders come in three styles
ELEPHANT
PANDA BEAR
and
HIPPO

(The Panda is traditional black-and-white, but the the Elephant and Hippo come in different colors) They're very well designed, with suction cups on the bottom to hold tightly to your desk.

We're having such a blast with ours, we're scouring Stupid Headquarters looking for things to shred. I.O.U.s, -- parking tickets -- photos of old boyfriends -- They're all disappearing into these little critters. 

Each Animal Shredder comes in a nice see-through box, so it'll make an attractive gift, too. 

AND THEY DOUBLE AS A PENCIL SHARPENER!

Uh, huh. The mini shredders can also sharpen your pencils. So your pencils -- and your cubicle -- need never be dull again!
