There are untold numbers of inventions in the world. Hundreds of thousands are patented each year. Many of those are never used, or even spoken about by anyone but the inventor. The following list is a sampling of the funniest inventions.
Rain Goggles. Goggles fitted with tiny windshield wipers. The rest of you may be getting wet, but at least you can see what’s in front of you.
The Flying Squirrel Fur Coat. This one might give you the wrong impression. It’s not like a squirrel suit. You can’t glide off of a mountain with it. It was only made from the fur of flying squirrels.
Ice Cream Cone. That’s what it was called, but what it did was pure ingenuity. It automatically rotated your ice cream for you. This would make a sweet treat even sweeter.
Toilet Ejector Seat. Possibly the worst place for an ejector seat.
Truck-Grill Fishing Pole Mount. Among the weird ones, there’s always one that actually makes sense. It’s still funny though because you know the guy who invented this was looking for one more way to be lazy.
The Forget-About-It List. A pad of paper and a pen that lets you write things down only to have them disappear. The ink was a slow drying ink, unlike the average disappearing ink, supposedly so you could look at your to-do list for a while before it vanished.
Odor-Eater Socks. A pair of socks that you would wear while working out so when you take them off, your feet don’t smell.
