    Talking Most useless inventions ever

    I'll start with a couple of Telemarketing-like devices

    The T-Shirt Folder



    The steps are in the name just flip, flip, flip and fold. It’s that simple! Folding laundry will take less time, and you’ll get perfectly folded laundry every time! Use FlipFold on almost anything. It works on any shirt including folding long sleeve shirts, short sleeve shirt folder, folding tank tops, button down shirts and collared shirts. Use FlipFold for folding your pants, shorts, skirts even folding towels and sheets! It’s so easy that you can teach your three year old child to use FlipFold! And this folding tool has even been husband tested!
    The Banana Guard



    Are you fed up with bringing bananas to work or school only to find them bruised and squashed? Our unique, patented device allows for the safe transport and storage of individual bananas letting you enjoy perfect bananas anytime, anywhere.
    The Banana Guard was specially designed to fit the vast majority of bananas. Its other features include multiple small perforations to facilitate ventilation thereby preventing premature ripening and a sturdy locking mechanism to keep the Banana Guard closed. The Banana Guard is of course dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

    Balloon propelled by eagles or vultures
    Patent no 863087, issued 1887

    First, catch your eagle or vulture. Then attach the large bird to a balloon cupola, point its beak in desired direction, then sit back, relax and enjoy the in-flight snacks and movie. There’s a kind of simple genius to this idea, but a few potential snags make themselves apparent. Yes, there will be protests by animal lovers, but perhaps more pertinent is the fact that large birds of prey or carrion are notoriously uncooperative in matters of providing predictable and directable propulsion. Oh, and won’t they peck holes in the balloon?

    This reminds me of an article that was in the universities magazine a few weeks ago..

    Chindogu is the art of inventing problem-solving devices that end up creating more problems than they solve.
    Japanese ofcourse, but still quite hilarious!

    Some examples:

    “Keeping Up Appearances” – Sick of seeing your flowers from the same dull angle? This handy contraption will solve all your woes. The built-in 240-volt motor packs some serious punch and, by spinning the base on its axis, allows for glorious 360-degree views of all your ornamental flora. Gone are the days of static vases; the humble bouquet has entered the 21st century.

    “Battery Powered Battery Charger” – The most unuseless award goes to Gregor Campbell for his innovative solution to spent batteries. This contraption will come in particularly handy during power outages. Who hasn’t found themselves in possession of the wrong type of battery at least once? Whether you need AAs to power up your remote or some 4.5 volts to get your ghetto blaster blasting, the Battery Powered Battery Charger allows you to charge them up using whichever batteries you have handy. The charger boasts a number of additional features and scores especially highly for its portability and robust construction.

    In Japan they have USB everything: USB toasters, USB eletric toothbrushes, etc. Can't Japnese nerds really not get up from their computers long enough to go to the bathroom to brush their teeth, or to toast some bread in the kitchen? It wouldn't surprise me if they had USB dildoes. In fact I'd be surprised if they don't have them.

    eek

    As for the banana guard, how come they don't have similar guards fpr apples, oranges, pears, plums etc? Could old Sigmund explain it?

    Then again, it might be fun if women carried a banana in a banana guard, along with two hairy kiwis in their respective kiwi guards in the purses.
