Two thoughts: one, they're awfully small looking. And second, think of the noise the vacuum cleaner would make when it found one that had escaped to the carpeting. Then again, they'd probably attach themselves to the chair or desk or something.

I gave those to several folks as holiday gifts last year, they're quite awesome. They definitely want to stick together.(PS: If you have a lot of ThinkGeek points, you can exchange them for a set of these next time you place an order.)
