Keep your paperclips in the Holy Grail

ThinkGeek is continuing its endless quest to bring great joy to the lives of cubicle workers with these Indiana Jones desktop accessories. There's a Holy Grail paperclip holder, a Fertility Idol pen/pencil pot and an Ark of the Covenant business card holder.

The Holy Grail even contains a mystical force (we're guessing it's a magnet) that holds your paperclips gently in place until you need it. ThinkGeek says that there's a possibility that it might grant everlasting life, too, and that the Ark of the Covenant should assist against face-melting.

The Holy Grail and Fertility Idol both cost $35, and the Ark of the Covenant is $40. All three are available to buy now.
