Say so long to that old, boring dining-room table. It's not just a place for your dirty dishes, old mail and the birthday sex romp anymore: It's a place to play billiards.

The Aramith design is simple: The table top slides off, and the balls, rack and cues are stored right underneath. (Price TBD.)

Your lady will be happy because you have to keep the top clear to access the pool table. You'll be happy because you get your own billiards room.

Of course, how you both deal with your friends who are over all the time is another question.

One more reason to bring this table into your house? If anyone tries to rob your place, you can defend your home theater with the pool cues.

What else should be in the dining room? Foosball? A dining-room hot tub? Let's hear your suggestions.
