Yeppers Grumpa, I found a site full of them like this!

Bulletproof Buttocks

From the Totally Absurd Archive Actual Patent Illustration - All Inventions Hold Real USA Patents

Bulletproof Buttocks USA patent 4,151,613 / Issued 1979 OK, we have a confession to make. This invention isn’t really a bulletproof butt protector, but it is used to protect your back side. The butt guard is made of resilient, shock absorbing plastic and foam and is secured at the waist with an adjustable belt. We’re not sure if it was designed to prevent embarrassing buttocks and hip injuries while skateboarding or designed to embarrass skateboarders with it’s delightful appearance. We have to question the riders priorities here, there’s no helmet to protect the brain bucket but the butt is bound for bouncing.

Ok everyone............No need to wear a hat
no more......Thanks to this "Wacky Invention"

Bird diaper

US United States of America
US5934226
1999-08-10 / 1997-10-15


A bird diaper for an uncaged pet bird to wear, featuring an
enclosed pouch for receiving and containing excrement,
and apertures to accommodate both the wings and the tail
of the bird. Elastic straps and hook and loop fastener
components (e.g., VELCRO) secure the diaper onto the
body of the pet bird without restricting movement. The bird
diaper is fabricated from spandex (e.g., LYCRA) or another
stretchable, lightweight material, allowing absorption of bird
excrement to prevent leaks and facilitating easy cleaning
using soap and water. The bird diaper can incorporate
decorative designs, bright colors and is available in
different sizes. The bird diaper also has a leash which is
insertable within the hook and loop fasteners. The leash
serves to restrain or limit the bird's area of free flight.

You know...I heard that the original FAX machine was nothing but a waffle iron with a phone attached....


is there any truth to this?

Now here's another "Wacky Invention"

This is for those yearning to fly.........

Human free-flight catapult
US5769724:US United States of America
1998-06-23 / 1996-11-08






An amusement ride for catapulting a human rider, enclosed
within a capsule, into the air in much the same fashion as
ancient armies would hurl large boulders over the walls of
castles. The ride provides many of the sensations and
thrills encountered by fighter pilots launching from the
decks of aircraft carriers without the requirement for flight
training or the associated dangers. The ride essentially
consists of a siege type catapult and a releasably
connected launch pod. When in the launch position, a
release mechanism is triggered by the operator and the
rider is catapulted into the air at a physiologically safe rate
of acceleration along a predictable free-flight arc. When an
acceptable elevation is reached, the rider is separated from
the capsule and gently brought back to earth using an
automatically deploying parachute or similar device. An
alternate embodiment envisions the use of a similar device
to project a conveyance vehicle along a horizontal track
similar to a stone skipping across the water.

Original FAX machine
no............ Itsnotgonnaspankitself...what your refering to
was originally used to make cones for icecream, and the
phone was for calling the fire dept.

Fowl Spoon



Actual Patent Illustration - All Inventions Hold Real USA Patents

Fowl Spoon US Patent 4,889,344 / Issued 1988 Has feeding time for your little tot become a burden because she refuses to open her mouth? What should you do when prying her food trap open is only a fantasy and not a real option? It's time to bring in the big guns! It's time for Rubber Lips the Spoon Puppet! To use, stick your finger (#38) into what the inventor calls the "rear finger receiving channel" of Rubber Lips. Then make a few quacking noises, shake your finger to and fro and behold a child with gaping mouth. Not that she suddenly became hungry, she's in awe of your mastery of puppetry. So be fast and shove that spoon in before the awe wears thin and repeat the procedure 25 times.
