Look Ma! I Can See My Ear Wax From Here

  Justin Letlow’s story of his Multi-Use Ear Mirror is that while at work in his furniture making shop, he felt something in his ear. The part of his story that must have been left out is where he picks and scratches like the devil, but what was there didn’t go away.

Methods of Promoting Sleep Systems: Great idea?

Methods of Promoting Sleep Systems known also as Patent# US 6997070 involves positioning a person on a mattress in a lying position.

Trapping Cow Belches: Great Idea?

The Process for the Utilization of Ruminant Animal Methane Emissions sometimes referred to as Patent# US 6982161, involves a device patented in 2006 that traps the belches of cows. Why, you may ask, would anyone in their right mind (or even in their wrong one) want to do that

Cosmetic Extract from Marine Ooze: Great Idea?

Issued back in 2004, Patent # US 6787159 relates to a Process for the Preparation of a Cosmetically Usable Extract From Marine Ooze and a product including an extract from marine ooze, and its use.

Issued in the summer of 1991, Patent #5,031,161, the Lifetime Expectancy Timepiece consists of a starting mechanism for causing the timer to begin measuring the elapsed time from the moment of birth and includes a processor programmed to measure it. Seeming truly like an overlooked plot straight out of The Twilight Zone, this Life Expectancy Timepiece has always had a questionable market value.

Anti-Eating Face Mask: Great idea?

US Patent #4344424 , the Anti-Eating Face Mask , has been around for a few decades, but there can be little doubt that it is just as silly today as it was when the original patent was issued to a woman from Sacramento (whose name is being withheld to protect the silly).

The Fling-ama-String Battery-Operated Cat Toy: Product Review

The scrawny kitten that jumped from a tree limb into my arms as three dogs competed for his tail, decided to adopt us four years ago. Now, fat and lazy, no longer wanting to stray from the hot tiled roof or the nest of jasmine on the patio, Bella (we thought he was a she), made pussy cats out of the dogs, and life was just as he liked it
