The Top 15 Really Dumb Patents


  1. DVD re-winder.

  2. "Members of the Senate Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight" bobblehead doll collection.

  3. Brown toilet paper.

  4. Random hurricane-name generator.

  5. Glass restroom-stall doors: You'll never inadvertently try to enter an occupied stall again!

  6. Remote TV remote control control: Device allowing you to control your TV without getting up to fetch the remote.

  7. Instant-acting laxative.

  8. Lesbianator: Identifies lesbians in the bar so you don't waste money buying them drinks, like last weekend.

  9. Battery-powered battery recharger.

  10. Toyota "Camode" seat replacement: For those who have urgent business requiring driving 900 rest-stop-free miles, but abhor adult-diaper rash.

  11. iMegaphone: for talking to people wearing iPods.

  12. Vegetable oil spread dye: Modified to a sickly shade of acid green, it's much easier to believe it's not butter.

  13. Shiny leather.

  14. Melanin-o-meter: Keeps track of current shade of Michael Jackson.

    and the Number 1 Really Dumb Patent...

  15. Giant panda contraceptive patch.
