Those are just the "World's Largest" ones. I haven't even mentioned our Baseball Bat, or Vulcan's 'Tourist and Trek Station,' or Willingdon's Giant Lapel Pin, or even Eugene the Pipefitter. And I get some of the World's largest stuff (like the Dinosaur, or the Oil Derrick, or the Beaver.) But the Badminton Racket? The Lamp?! The Putter?!?!

well looked around some more and I found some okay stuff you might be able to use.
this site has a band sensor you can bend to get different resistances. I'm guessing that is why you want Piezo electric so that you can get different voltages depending on the force applied.
Just the piezo you can probally figure out a way to make it work.
some more piezo Wow! my good luck searching mojo is coming back!

Tay all the links I have don't have anything on piezo electric anything. I looked around on the net and Radioshack still seems like the best place to get cheap piezo electric stuff. I could keep looking but all the links I have are industrial products.

Andy, (and anyone else who reads PA), before you ask what the little dude on the table in today's strip is, the answer awaits here. (And the answer is quite amusing.)

Al, you seem pretty bitter towards bureaucratic organizations, for someone who hasn't ever had to work at the bottom of one.

That DNA activation thing seems pretty sketchy to me. Do people actually believe all that junk on the internet? You wonder why this world is going to hell in a handbasket.
