It's been a long time since no one guessed what the "WTHII" gadget was, but it is the 

Quake Escape Earthquake Activated 48 Hour Light With Alarm by Safe-T-Proof

Here's what Amazon says about it: "Light Your Way to Safety with this new earthquake activated light and alarm. The IntelliSense Technology ®differentiates between earthquake motion and other vibrations. The alarm tells you to get to safety now. The LED light stays on for an amazing 48 hours!"

I have no idea if it works and there are only two reviews on Amazon. One gave it 5 stars and the other gave it 1 star. One said: "Ingenious" and the other said: "Crappy".

It sells for about $40 and it's here on Amazon:

Since no one got it and since there were so many entries, we're going to give away 18 autographed MAD's to the cute, crappy, could-be winning answers. (Sorry, only to folks with US addresses. Like MAD, we're CHEAP.)
