<strong>Umbrella rain tube</strong><br><br><br />Dumb-inventions.com includes the umbrella rain tube on its list of stupid new products. Sure, it protects you from the rain, but it won't protect you from getting mocked on the street just for carrying the thing.


Зонтик который полностью защищает от дождя. Все было бы отлично, если бы не тот факт, что купить банально газету в киоске - проблематично.


<strong>Shower-hood</strong><br><br> Looks like the umbrella rain tube idea might have been inspired by this invention - the shower-hood. This weird thing protects your hair and makeup in the shower. Um, that thing looks like it's a suffocation device!<br><br><ital>Source: Life.com</ital>

... наподобие зонтика. Чтобы случайно в душе волосы не намочить. Больше похож на оружие для маньяков, чтобы проще душить было...

Why not strap these cat duster slippers on its paws so that your kitty can help dust your floors as it strolls around. "Obviously you'll have to ignore the fact that they lick their anus ... then lick their paws, thus spreading cat anus all over your nice new floor boards," Brandish.com says.


Должен же кот пользу приносить, так хоть пыль протрет.И куда смотрел Green Peace ?

<strong>Potty putter</strong><br><br>When a simple magazine is not enough entertainment for you while doing your "business," turn to the Potty Putter. The toy, billed as "the ultimate toilet putting surface," is "a true innovation in getting the most out of each trip to the restroom," BaronBob.com says. Oh yes, you can now ace your putting game while enjoying the comfort of your own toilet.


Замечательная альтернатива книжечке анекдотов...

<strong>Wire baby cage</strong><br><br> Want your baby to go outside but don't have a patio or garden and don't want to be bothered to actually carry your child downstairs? One inventor thought you might want to stick the baby in a cage and stick the kid out the window.

<strong>Rainy day cigarette holder</strong><br><br>When you want to smoke but it's raining out, you can try this rainy day cigarette holder invented by Robert Stern, President of Zeus Corp.
