Think of a really lame invention
Edited on Fri May-04-07 05:57 PM by LibraLiz1973
And then post your idea here




Mine: An automatic fork. Instead of having to lift the fork to your mouth, you suction cup the electric fork (on a swing arm)to the table and it does the loading and lifting for you.

4. A snail crusher
in case you wear a lot of fancy shoes and your yard is lacking for rocks or blocks of wood. Yours for two easy payments of 19.95, then one really hard payment I'm not going to tell you about.

9. An automatic cat-petter.
This would be an outstretched rubber or plastic hand mounted to a wall or on a stand where the cat can reach it. The hand is battery-powered or connected to a wall outlet, and includes a photo sensor that activates a petting motion of the fingers when the cat approaches.

I hope nobody steals my patent. :)

10. A Fire Bidet.

Not a bidet that shoots fire, that would be stupid.

18. A plastic foam block to place your hands on during Yoga or Pilates -- $19.95
Edited on Fri May-04-07 07:44 PM by eppur_se_muova
Actually, that's the in-store price. They're only $9.95 from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/High-density-Block-Blocks-Pilates-Price/dp/B000HWF7T0

Apparently, natural wood blocks are out of the question.

ETA: I stand corrected. Bamboo blocks are available for $23.95: http://www.amazon.com/Drishti-Bamboo-Yoga-Block/dp/B000HFQ3IQ/ref=pd_sbs_sg_3/103-1606085-2925439

34. Automobile record player
Oh, the joke is, I'm not kidding. Yeah, THAT's effective. To no one's shock, this thing bombed worse than the Edsel and Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band starring the Bee Gees and Pete Frampton.

36. "auto-adjusting" underwear
for men.

For those moments when you need to adjust "the equipment", these underwear will sense your situation and shift things for you without the awkwardness of having to reach down and do it yourself.
