Amazing, yet unfortunately, 'a little too ridiculous' inventions



My personal favourite. Yes, it's the 360 degree camera...that comes with complimentary harmonica
















at what point did the inventor not consider this to be absolutely ridiculous?



The Hair blocker. Designed to prevent females/hippies/80s rockers from getting hair in their noodles.....looks more like a crinkled toilet seat cover stuck to your face.....would it work for a mullet though?













RIP OFF! I could have come up with this idea...it's just a massive penknife, but for gardening...fairly crap, which is why I suspect it never succeeded







Fortunately this is relatively D.I.Y possible and doesn't cost much to make, so you can still get the look.
Just rip your toilet roll holder from your bathroom wall and place on head. Next, find some strap like object, attach this to the toilet roll holder and hey presto, you look like a total twat!





Keep in mind that a 1/3 of the world are expected to experience water shortages by 2025....be smart..don't be a victim..carry the 'rainwater collector' umbrella....not on sale anytime soon!








I checked this out..and it's for real! This is a fire alarm that was designed in 1938 with the purpose of deterring pranksters setting off the alarm and wasting the fire brigade's time.

How does it work? It works by trapping your arm into the box so that you are unable to escape until the police or fire brigade let you out....

And when there's a real fire...










Super power water gun: Another failed British invention was a huge water gun with a water tank that strapped on to the user.
The idea? that it could be used to stop criminals in their tracks. However, due to the amount pressurised of water that was emitted from the gun it also, unfortunately, tended to knock the gun user to the ground, too.
