Not so much of a wacky invention .... but this newspaper cutting from 1954 shows what the experts thought that a home computer would look like in 2004 ....

I must take my PC back for a refund, I only seemed to receive a tiny part of this system .... I love that double chrome-ringed steering wheel !!!

How about a beer fridge ....

.... and the deluxe beer dispenser ??

Not so much of a wacky invention here, but a software upgrade for an existing PalmPilot, to convert it into the indespensible ....

.... Bitch-O-Meter !!! Guess what I want for my next birthday (if I get to live that long !! )

How about a colour laser printer ....

.... made from a colour monitor and a colour laser photocopier ??

Or a Rubik's Cube for blondes ??

Toilet Snorkel

From the Totally Absurd Inventions Archive

Actual Patent Illustration - All Inventions Hold Real USA Patents


Toilet Snorkel US Patent 4,230,746* / Issued 1982 What exactly is this man doing? Communicating with his neighbors using his new Toilet Phone? Blowing up his Inflatable Toilet? Or is he simple blowing bubbles? Well the correct answer is None of the Above. This guy is using the new breath easy, Toilet Snorkel, formulated to provide a fresh air source during fires in high rise buildings. In most fires, it's the smoke that will get you, and a source of fresh air can be a life saver. So our inventor designed a way to snake a snorkel through the zigs and zags of your toilet, so you can breath sewer air instead of smoke. Here's our question... couldn't he have, just as easily, invented the Faucet Snorkel instead?

Good thread, I wish my computer at home worked so I could help you out here.
At least I can look and laugh.
