What's the funniest, dumbest or most useless invention you've ever seen?

Since I started reading about such inventions and looking at photos, this is the first thing that pops into my mind. Did you know that a tomato will scream when you slice it? Well, if you didn't, you must not have a handy-dandy Hubbard Electrometer from 1968: life.com/image/76796742/in-gallery/25371... There are many others, of course.

Speaking of meters, how's your yodeling? Personally, I never go anywhere without my Yodel Meter from 1925: life.com/image/3423716/in-gallery/25371/... Are you going outside? Don't forget your raincoat and your Rainy Day Cigarette Holder from 1954: life.com/image/82496367/in-gallery/25371... Or, if you are really in a hurry for the most smoke you can get at once, remember to use the Cigarette Pack Holder from 1955: life.com/image/2716512/in-gallery/25371/... Planning a trip?

Don't let pesky criminals steal your bag from you! Use the Anti-Bandit Bag from 1963, and send all your stuff flying... literally... http://www.life.com/image/3397234/in-gallery/25371/30-dumb-inventions Can you hear me now? If not, maybe I'm not using the 1925 Laryngaphone properly: http://www.life.com/image/3302088/in-gallery/25371/30-dumb-inventions So many inventions, so little time.

;).

The Snuggie. It's called a robe, people! Whoever decided to turn a robe around backwards and market it as a "blanket you can wear" is either a genius who understands that people are stupid, or a moron who got lucky.

I think their popularity is largely people buying them for the ironic/comedic value, but I've heard the fabric is super cheap and basically falls apart in the dryer. A nice, snuggly robe is a good investment, but a Snuggie is just dumb.

Well, if you go to this site, you will find many many dumb and funny invention. I've had fun browsing the blog, but find hard time choosing because.... they're all so dumb! Well, this one is quite funny actually because it seems to be useful.Lol.

The Slap-Chop; my grandma's friend has one and it is a piece of crap.

The singing fish. How do you keep a redneck in suspense...I'll tell them tommorow.

Hands down - The Epilady. Oh my. I remember seeing the commercials and thinking, "Wonderful!

I have to have one of those! " I got one alright... Without thought or hesitation I ran it down my leg and nearly died. It ripped the hair out - as it's designed to do - and I let out a blood curdling scream.

Needless to say, that was the last time that device was ever used by me again. It's funny to think about now and definitely a dumb invention (and idea on my part as well). Plus, it was totally useless because it took just one strip of hair removal from the Epilady to render it junk drawer material.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
