Poor Cavity Sam: He's been on a Hasbro operating table for 43 years and he still has problems. The toy company unveils a revamped version of the classic child's game Operation today, giving Cavity Sam a new array of ailments — and a set of boxer shorts. Operation has new sound effects, too: A toilet flush for Bad Plumbing, the sound of bubbles for Burp Bubbles and, well, when it comes to the sound of Toxic Gas, we'll let you make the diagnosis. The game will retail for around $14.99.

FINAL WORD

"It's fun to watch 'Kung Fu Panda' just to think that some dork in San Francisco has spent sixteen hundred man-hours animating my whiskers."
