Brilliantly Bad: Inventions So Terrible Theyre Good

English

By (author): Mark Tanner

A miscellany of actual patents for wonderfully bizarre inventions, Brilliantly Bad is a salute to what the human mind can achieve even if it probably shouldnt.

This collection of the strangest ideas ever patented, ranging from the bizarre and baffling to the *oh so close* to genius, is a true celebration of human ingenuity in all its (occasionally) pointless glory.

INVENTIONS INCLUDE:

  • A coat that doubles as a urinal
  • A musical condom
  • An automated pet petter
  • Face-lifting earrings
  • A weight-lifting device for the penis
