Noodles are great. They’re filling, versatile, and easy to cook. If I had one criticism, however, it would be that they don’t put out nearly enough light. Fortunately, innovative gadget company Power Practical has come up with a solution: Luminoodle.

No, Luminoodle is not a cyborg relative of the labradoodle; rather, it’s a super-bright, 5-foot length of LED lights. Though Luminoodle is not edible, it’s still very versatile. You can use Luminoodle as a bike light, a camping light, a TV backlight, a tantalizing prop in a sci-fi BDSM film — the list goes on and on.

Luminoodle puts out 180 lumens, making it 10-20 times brighter than your average Christmas lights. It’s also waterproof, so you and your friends more easily simulate bioluminescence at your next pool party. Finally!

The Luminoodle Kickstarter project is already a runaway success, and currently on its 21st victory lap. At the time of this writing, they have raised over $200,000 more than their goal of $10,000. You still have until October 15th to hop on the money-throwing bandwagon and capture a Luminoodle for yourself in time for the holidays.blake-holding-lantern

A pledge of $19 will get you one Luminoodle, plus a few noodle ties and and a sliding magnet to help you secure the noodle to almost anything. Luminoodle also comes with a rip-stop nylon bag, which doubles as a handy lantern. It’s probably a good idea to get the portable battery pack, too — otherwise, you’ll need to plug Luminoodle into a USB port for it to function.

Estimated delivery date: December 2015

Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw might be back for more spying in the near future. The two actors, who starred together in Netflix's Black Doves, seem likely to be back for a second season of the series. That makes sense, given that the show has been hovering in Netflix's Top 10 ever since it was first released.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, show creator Joe Barton, said that the show's staff is full steam ahead on a second season.

The second season of Netflix's Squid Game, which was a massive phenomenon following its first season, is finally almost here. Now, ahead of the second season's release on Dec. 26, Googling Squid Game will get you a fun way to pass a few minutes.

Netflix partnered with Google on the game, which will appear if you tap the brown envelope that appears on the bottom of the screen. The game is a replication of the "red light, green light" came from the show's first season. By pressing the blue circles, you advance six players in pink suits while Young-Hee's head is turned. Your players must stop before she turns around, and if they don't one of them will be eliminated. Thankfully, they don't get brutally shot down and left to lay there like they do on the show.
