Don’t ya just hate it when you’re out in public, and you have to go the bathroom? After frantically scouring the area looking for a decent receptacle, you throw yourself down on the toilet just in time… and then you realize there is no toilet paper.
Apparently that has happened a LOT of times to at least one Japanese inventor, Kenji Kawakami; enough to warrant a toilet paper roll hat anyways. He has also brought us such amazing devices as the double-sided shoes and electric fork.
I think someone needs a new job.

Don’t you just hate it when you get out of the shower, and your ears are wet? Yea me neither, but apparently it bothered someone enough to invent the DryEar Ear Dryer. Simply slide the nozzle into your ear canal, and it blows hot air into your ear (Insert head is full of hot air joke here).
Now, let’s just pretend for a minute, that wet ears really is a problem for people… do you think anyone would spend around $100 for this thing?
Did I mention the directions specify that you should towel dry your ears first?

Turning your ice cream cone can really be a pain. No seriously, it must be… otherwise why would anyone design a motorized ice cream cone?
I can honestly say, I cannot remember a single time when I was eating an ice cream cone and thought, “Man, this would be so much better if I didn’t have turn this cone…”
How lazy does one have to be to invent something like this?
The good news, is that it IS dishwasher safe… because if you’re too lazy to turn your own ice cream cone, you sure as hell aren’t washing the dishes by yourself!

Do you ever find yourself out in public wishing you could rock out some guitar for the people on the street? Do you suffer from Guitar Hero withdrawals when you leave the house? Me neither, but just in case you ever do… you might want to pick up the Electronic Rock Guitar Shirt from ThinkGeek. This shirt actually has a guitar built-in!

If flying remote control planes doesn’t sound like fun to you… imagine dropping remote controlled bombs while flying a remote control plane. Sounds a whole lot more exciting, doesn’t it?
That’s what the makers of the $17 Quanum RC Bomb System were thinking, and I have to agree with them. It looks fairly realistic, and is a simple to install for any RC plane enthusiast. It sticks to the underside of and .25 size or larger RC aircraft, and is triggered by an extra servo channel in your receiver. That means you can drop it at just the right moment to assault your target.

Conceptual artist Caleb Larsen has created a work of art that literally sells itself. Just look at that amazing black cube… how could you not buy it?
Ok… ok… I’ll admit, it’s not the most impressive looking piece of art, but that’s not what makes it so unique. Larsen’s “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” actually connects to the internet and sells itself on eBay.

Technology has become an integral part of our society. Gadgets now commandeer the majority of our attention, and with the ever-expanding market of portable devices, it’s very common to see people using their gizmos in public places. This brings up a new problem: how do you maintain a level of privacy when you’re in a public place? It’s really quite simple… you just need a technology body interface, like the laptop compubody sock.

In the past few years, it’s more and more common to see hands free devices in public restrooms. The hands free toilet flushing mechanism, sink and air dryer have all made public restrooms a little more sanitary for us all.
However, just because a concept works for one invention, does not necessarily mean it will work for another… perfect example: the hands free urinal.

Are you a germaphobe who can’t stand sitting on public toilets? The Niban Too Corporation has a very interesting solution for you… carry a toilet in your briefcase! The new “Gotta Go Briefcase” features a strong lightweight aluminum structure and a stainless steel bowl, and is rated up to 175lbs. Exceeding the weight limit voids the warranty, and can lead to very nasty situations…
