We got a huge shipment of new stock in yesterday, mostly consisting of beer bongs, drinking accessories, and party stuff. We were thrilled, as we always are when this sort of thing turns up on our doorstep, but the one thing that has us really excited is the arrival of a certain six-man beer bong.

That's right, folks, Bongzilla is back! This leviathan among beer bongs - the glimmering jewel in the crown of our Party/Drinking section - is a bit of a favourite here at the GI office, and not just because it was one of our best-selling items last time around. You probably won't be surprised to learn that us gadgeteers enjoy the occasional drink every now and then, but Bongzilla is the one drinking product that puts us to shame - the 6 Man Beer Bong Challenge is a surprisingly tough one to conquer!

If you fancy tackling Bongzilla with your pals next Friday night, here's what you have to do:

• Buy a Bongzilla beer bong from the Gadget Inspector website
• Grab five friends who like the odd drink
• Fill Bongzilla's funnel up with your favourite lager, grab a tube each, and get chugging!

If the six of you manage to deplete Bongzilla's beer reservoir without gagging or falling over, then congratulations - you are made of stronger stuff than we are!

Tomorrow is the first day of spring, which means that we'll soon be swapping our gloves and scarves for sunglasses and boardshorts. Summer is on its way, everybody!

And, with the evenings getting lighter every day, it's the perfect time to get your hands on a beer bong and celebrate the turning of the seasons with a drink or three. No matter where you are - at a house party, out on the town, or just hanging out in the garden with a few of your buddies - a beer bong is always a great way to kick the party off.

And you'll be amazed by the sheer variety of beer bongs available. We've got red bongs, green bongs, dual bongs, long bongs, and - back in stock this week - the mighty Bongzilla, a 6-man beer behemoth that will push you and your drinking abilities to the very limit!

If you're looking for beer bongs, Gadget Inspector has got you covered this summer. You can even build your own!

We've got quite a few awesome maze gadgets here at Gadget Inspector (as displayed in the image above), but they're small beans compared to these three goliaths...

1. Carnfunnock Country Park Maze, Northern Ireland

This one won a maze design award (who even knew that such things existed?) It's shaped like Northern Ireland. Can't you tell?

2. Dole Plantation Maze, Hawaii

Supposedly the biggest maze in Christendom, with a great big pineapple at its centre. What's not to love?

3. Reignac-sur-Indre Maze, France

This one's nice because it has sunflowers. Only at certain times of year, mind - it's a much better maze in the summertime than in winter.

It's amazing to read about the chaos that remote control helicopters can cause. We're pretty keen RC pilots here at Gadget Inspector, but nobody here in the office has ever run into this sort of trouble:

RC Helicopter Takes Down Gigantic RC Plane

The bigger they come, the harder they fall. Watch in awe as a majestic 80-inch Mitsubishi fighter plane is sent crashing to the ground by a relatively tiny RC chopper:

 Video no longer exists - sorry! :(

It's like David and Goliath, except in the air.

Dutch UFO Watchers Fooled by RC Drone

This forum post tells the rather amusing (but also slightly sad) story of a UFO sighting organisation in the Netherlands who recorded several false sightings because someone was out flying their quadrocopter after hours. Lesson learned, we suppose?

RC Helicopter Smuggles Tobacco Into a Prison

 We're not quite sure of the law here in Britain, but in Georgia, USA, you're not allowed tobacco in prison. It's contraband. Still, that didn't stop some bright sparks from flying an RC helicopter over the prison wall in an attempt to give the prisoners on the other side their nicotine fix. Incidentally, the four people responsible were apprehended, and they may face up to 20 years in prison for smuggling contraband goods. Somewhere, the Gods of Irony are chuckling to themselves.

#AmericansvsBritish is currently trending on Twitter. There have been plenty of good arguments from both sides - not to mention all kinds of colourful insults - but we at Gadget Inspector thought we'd put the whole issue to bed in one fell swoop. Let's compare what these two great nations have to offer:

• Size
  Well, America obviously wins this one. According to Google, the USA boasts an area of over 9.8 million square kilometres - that's more than forty times the size of Great Britain. USA 1-0 UK
   
• Age
  The Brits get the point here. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was founded in 1707 (although its constituent countries are obviously much older); the Americans won their independence in 1776, so we've got about seventy years on the Yanks. USA 1-1 UK
   
• Famous Inventions
  British people gave us telephones, televisions, and the World Wide Web - three cornerstones of modern society. Americans gave us the beach ball. Point goes to the UK. What's that? Thomas Edison? Yeah, but even he needed help from an Englishman. USA 1-2 UK
   
• Celebrities
  It's hard to argue with America here. The website mostfamousperson.net (which lists the 100 most famous people in the world) currently has Michael Jackson at #1, followed by Lady Gaga. Both American, sadly. The most famous Brit is Robert Pattinson of Twilight, who ranks at #23 on the MFP list. USA 2-2 UK
   
• Movies
  You might think that the Americans have this one sewn up, and...well, you'd be right. The highest-grossing movie of 2013 was Iron Man 3, directed by an American and starring two Americans. We could argue that British cinema is better, but you can't argue with numbers. USA 3-2 UK
   
• Music
  One Direction are British, and everyone loves them, so we're gonna go ahead and give this point to the UK. USA 3-3 UK
   
• Food & Drink
  Cheeseburgers and beer? Or Sunday lunch and a cup of tea? We know which option we'd take. USA 3-4 UK
   
• TV
  If you believe IMDb, the most popular TV series of all is currently Game of Thrones. It's hard to decide who gets the credit there - the programme airs on HBO (an American network), and it's based on books by George R. R. Martin (an American author), but almost every actor in the show is from the UK (with the honourable exception of Peter Dinklage). We were all set to call this one a draw, but then we remembered that both Sherlock and Doctor Who came straight out of Britain, so we're giving the UK another point. USA 3-5 UK

So there you have it - proof positive that Britain really is better than America. Well done, chaps. Let's all celebrate with a spot of Marmite.

Oh, and in case you're wondering...no, we're not biased.
