Abstract: A system and method for a toy with memory (flash memory) storage capabilities and a method for the toy to connect to other like toys and to a computer and he internet for online virtual play and simulation. Connection to a computer system allows the user the ability connect to the internet and register the toy allowing the user access to interact with a virtual activities and scenarios including a virtual computer image and animation of the toy connected to a computer which is connected to the Internet. User may also purchase or win a USB (Universal Serial Bus) node or dongle with codes that attach to the USB connection on the toy to allow access to special rooms and events in the virtual world on the website. The status of the game is saved back to the memory storage in the toy.

Abstract: The present invention is a slip-knot grip device which attaches to a rope. The invention consists of a male end cap into which an insert is placed and a female end cap into which an insert is placed with the two end caps being connected by a retaining collar. The inserts have a semi-circle channel on their interior side placed so when the left and right inserts are connected together they form a circle opening through which a rope is placed. The female end cap and the male end cap are turned in opposite directions. This makes the end edges of the combined inserts clasp the rope holding the device in place.
