RE: the modern ladder. Cool but the utility of hanging a bucket of paint or tools from a rung is greatly diminished.

 
LadyHawke [TotalFark] 2007-12-16 11:55:22 AM  
The toast one is actually a pretty good idea.

 
Malinki 2007-12-16 12:19:59 PM  
If the butter slicer is adjustable for thickness, that just rocks.

 
I snorkled Hitler 2007-12-16 12:20:27 PM  
I definitely want the toaster and the scissors. But a day clock? Why..

 
studebaker hoch 2007-12-16 12:20:34 PM  
I thought the "butt plug" was a myth, but they really exist.

 
The Grinch 2007-12-16 12:20:56 PM  
Half of those were either dumb or impractical, and the other half were pretty neat. The 'modern ladder', for instance, didn't look quite as trustworthy as a normal ladder. The laser scissors... just, why? And the infant hand pillows have already had their own thread. The headlight slippers and the traveller's t-shirt, though, I could actually see getting widespread use.

 
Dwedit 2007-12-16 12:21:41 PM  
For a second, I thought the infant pillow was where you sleep on top of the baby.

Good list. subby from a couple down should view this one to see how a list article should be submitted.

I love them all! I knew about some of them, because I seem to be on every strange gadget catalog list. I must admit, I have bought a few odd things, I have several styles of tea bag squeezers, some toaster tongs, apple corers, tuna squeezers/veggie can drainers, but WOW even I do not own a tea bag dunker!

 
bean_sips 2007-12-16 12:24:13 PM  
That traveler's t-shirts actually looks like a pretty good idea. They're missing a drawing of a hooker, though. Never know when you need to find the nearest whorehouse.

trashyrules 2007-12-16 12:25:49 PM  
I think the mug is pretty cool..more of a sabatoge tool then a practical one. But then again in my office sabatoging other co-workers is practically what we do all day.

Butter slicer = my husbands dream come true

 
skinink 2007-12-16 12:26:16 PM  
I like the coffee cup one, although I could see coworkers scrawling this on the cup: "This belongs to an anal-retentive douchebag".

15. Movable Bench: kinda clever

14. Modern Ladder: stupid and impractical

13. Waiter's Tray: not bad

12. Traveller's T-Shirt: meh

11. Crime Scene Towel: stupid

10. Illuminated Car Slippers: very stupid

9. Infant Pillow: creepy

8. Laser Scissors: probably wouldn't work very well

7. Penguin Tea Bag Dipper: huh-huh, "tea bag"

6. One Click Butter Cutter: pretty good idea

5. Save Banana: impractical

4. Lock Your Cup: LOL

3. Transparent toaster: pretty good idea

2. Cookie Cup: stupid

1. Day Clock: want (and need)

/me: too much time on my hands

That ladder is an accident waiting to happen. Normal ladders distribute your weight between both sides fairly well, while this one puts all of your weight on one side. Also, you can't stand on it with both feet side by side. Absolutely worthless shiate.

That cooling cup thing pisses me off. "I want my beer cooled NOW (in an inefficient manner nonetheless) AND I want to create as much waste as possible!"

Same with those farking heating cofee cups.

I hate you if you buy them.

 
daffy 2007-12-16 12:32:57 PM  
My husband is left handed. If I got him the cookie cup, they would slide out as he drinks. That would be so funny! I gotta get one for him!

 
rjShadow [TotalFark] 2007-12-16 12:32:58 PM  
That toaster would be sweet, but besides that, everything else seems pretty useless.

I thought the ladder was a good idea until I read this. Yea, totally bullshiat now that I think of it.

I just realized the waiter's tray is stupid because it doesn't allow the waiter to shift the balance as he takes things off of it.

Top 15 Weird Gadgets You Never Thought Existed
Author: AJ | Date: December 7, 2007

Innovation has brought us many amazing gadgets. However, there are some weird gadgets that were born as the result of the wildest imagination by their inventors. Here are the top 15 weird gadgets that you never thought existed.

15. Movable Bench
[wooden bench with a wheel on one side]

Ever wished to have a moving bench that can be moved to different places in your garden in the back yard? This bench comes with a wheel making it comfortable for you to move it around under a tree or sun or shade.

14. Modern Ladder
[Ladder with split rungs that aren't level with each other]

This modern ladder is the coolest way to climb up. Surely it may need some practice to really start using it.

13. Waiter's Tray
[Tray with indentations for fingers and thumbs]

No more dropping of trays. This anatomically designed waiter/waitress trays holds firm in your palm leading to safe carriage of food on it. Hopefully it is as comfortable as the present designs.

12. Traveller's T-Shirt
[Shirt with question mark and symbols for airport, bathroom, hotel, etc.]

This traveler's t-shirt is a better way to communicate with the natives of a foreign land. Those who travel often to places where you can't manage with the language you know, here comes a phrase book t-shirt. You can point to the pictogram you need and point a couple of times at the question mark which means Where is it. Surely this is an easy way to communicate for basic necessity in a new place.

11. Crime Scene Towel
[Towel with chalk outline of body]

Want to get noticed at the beach? Well, this crime scene bath towel can catch the attention of folks there. Let your next beach holiday be different with this extra ordinary bath towel.

10. Illuminated Car Slippers
[Slippers that look like cars with working headlights]

The cosy car shaped shoes let you move in the dark comfortably. These extra ordinary slippers light up the floor up to 30 feet on your way with the bright LED lights. This extremely comfort wear allows you to get a bottle of water with ease in a dark night.

9. Infant Pillow
[Stuffed hands that hold a baby]

It is quite irritating when the baby wakes up the moment when you lay him on the bed. For those dads and moms here is a way to make the baby feel that he is still in your hands. This infant pillow must surely be a creation of a mother who is tired of trying out different ways to keep the baby asleep on the bed. Named as Zaky, the ergonomic infant pillow mimics the size, weight, touch, and feels of a mother's hand and forearm to help her baby with comfort, support, protection, and development.

8. Laser Scissors
[Scissors with laser sight]

Fed up with irregular shaped ends of papers? Cutting a straight line is no longer a strenuous job. Aim the pin point laser and follow the line to get a smooth cut. This laser scissors never let you to mess up with the perfect cutting. The scissor blades made out of stainless steel have a micro serrated edge, providing a commendable finish to cut edges.

7. Penguin Tea Bag Dipper
[read the description]

Making a hot cup of tea is now easier than before. Here is a Penguin that does dipping the tea bag into hot water in your cup. What you need to do is just set the timer for how long you want the tea bag to be in the water. Turn the timer dial and the beak goes in. Once the time is up, the Penguin raises its beak taking out the tea bag. This must find a place at your desktop allowing you to have a hot tea in between hectic work.

6. One Click Butter Cutter
[Ratchets out butter pats like a caulk gun]

Stay healthy by having exact amount of butter. Just click at the handle of this butter cutter and you will get one standard pat of the butter.

5. Save Banana
[Plastic banana holder, potential dildo uses]

Those who love to have a banana break while travelling must try this Banana guard. This is designed to protect your favourite banana from getting damaged due to stress and awful weather conditions. Surely your kids will now love to carry banana to school.

4. Lock Your Cup
[Coffee cup with hole in the side, and plug that can hang on a keychain]

This is a boon to every coffee/tea lover in the corporate jungle. Quite often your coffee mugs may get misplaced or lost. By locking your cup with a unique key you can enjoy a sip of hot coffee in your coffee mug everyday. This cup has a hole which prevents others from using it. And you hold the key which can seal the hole. Doesn't that save your coffee mug?

3. Transparent toaster
[Vertical toaster with glass sides]

While you are rushing to get things done, you may end up with a burnt toast. The transparent toaster lets you have a right toast. This amazing toaster works with transparent heating glass technology which allows you to see the bread while toasting. Now you can easily turn off the toaster once the bread has turned moderately brown.

2. Cookie Cup
[Mug with slot in the bottom that holds cookies]

Ever wished to have a better way to hold biscuits (other than your mouth), when your hands are occupied with the cup and newspaper? This smart cup can hold your cookies in the cup itself making your life simpler. This wonder cup is suited for both left handed and right handed.

And the winner is...

1. Day Clock
[Wall clock with a segment for each day of the week]

This is the weirdest of all - a day clock. Who on this earth will need a day clock right? People when on vacation tend to forget which day it is. This day clock is best suited for laid back fellows who lose track of the day.

when you get it wet and wrap it around someone's head so that they suffocate and die, obviously.

This modern ladder is the coolest way to climb up. Surely it may need some practice to really start using it.

No ladder should require practice to use. Do you just keep falling off until you get the hang of it?

I thought the "butt plug" was a myth, but they really exist.

Which simply must be accompanied by the fine "butt puddy" accessory...

 
meshman 2007-12-16 12:56:51 PM  
"3. Transparent toaster"

Oh no, you won't be cleaning that after every use.

Cool list but most of these aren't 'gadgets'. I wouldn't call a t-shirt a gadget.

 
bighairyguy [TotalFark] 2007-12-16 12:57:29 PM  
Change "Saturday" to "Caturday" and it becomes a best seller in the Fark store.

/Waitin' for my checks, Drew

 
mr lawson 2007-12-16 12:57:57 PM  
you know, the wheel bench could have wheels on one side for legs and a hinged legs on the other side that swing up for handles and would be a whole lot better.

 
yotta 2007-12-16 12:57:58 PM  
I too, am unimpressed with the laser scissors. What good is it if the laser is mounted on the movable part of the system.

As for the day clock, it has been made obsolete by the little clock at the bottom of my computer screen.
