Poolside Pong: Unfortunately, technology still hasn't given us an effective way to read in the pool. So ditch the "Crime and Punishment" and play some beer pong, instead. We're not going to tell you twice.

You can do as many double-takes as you want, but 2010 is the year beer pong got aquatic. With this inflatable six-foot long table, deep cup holders and anchor hooks (so there's a limited amount of motion in your ocean), you and your friends can keep cool while you work towards slow dehydration and intoxication. Sorry kiddies, but it looks like your summer reading lists just went out the window. Or pardon me...off the deep end.
