Funny Invention Ideas

Inventing something requires ingenious ability and innovation. Sadly, this is not a common trait, and there are thousands of funny inventions seen around us. Some are sold commercially, while some never see the light of day; they are all created from the same sense of worthlessness.

Some Japanese person came up with the bright idea of a USB-powered necktie fan, to stay cool and refreshed throughout the day. This sounds like an excellent idea, but when you actually see the device, you may want to change your mind. It would be far easier to just take off the necktie instead.

For people who like walking in dark alleys when it is raining, there is now a crazy invention with an LED-powered light on the handle of the umbrella, which lights up like a light saber from Star Wars.

Users of the Apple iPhone and other touchscreen phones cried out for a way to not get fingerprints on their smartphones.

For those who just can't seem to stand all the kids in the alley, this might be just the invention to take care of the 'menace'.
