Genius Convention Or One Man Wacko Show?
from the tough-to-explain dept
It appears that Japanese scientist/inventor Yoshiro NakaMats is not a shy guy. He has organized (what he calls) the 15th World Genius Convention (though, there was no explanation on the first 14). The guy sounds positively nutty. He apparently invited 100 geniuses (from over 1,000 applications) to appear in a Tokyo train station with him and his inventions. He has no problem saying that he's equal to Archimedes and Marie Curie on the spectrum of great scientists. He also explains over and over agin the various proof of why he's a genius - including his "world record" of 3,000 (count 'em) inventions. It appears he was one of just a few people who actually showed up at the convention, and he is showing off a bunch of bizarre inventions. Chief among them is the "Cerebrex", which is a chair that passes electric current through the brain of whoever sits in it, to help boost brain power (among other benefits). He also has invented the "LoveJet" spray, which will rid the world of the need for foreplay during sex (since when did we need to get rid of foreplay?!?). I wonder what his wife/girlfriend/significant other thinks of that invention. Apparently, the guests who did come to check out the convention were a bit surprised at what the convention really was...

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Hahaha, if this guy was really on the ball (no pun intended), he'd have invented an aftplay device to cuddle for you afterwards.
