Inventors Strut Their Stuff
from the mad-scientist-gathering dept
Honestly, I had no idea that there's an annual "Exhibition of Inventions" where today's mad scientists can strut their stuff. While, plenty of the inventions are reasonable and practical, in any crowd like there, you're likely to find a few on the funkier side - some useful, and some that just make you wonder. There's the device to remind men to put down the toilet seat, which could be combined with a device to make sure your toiletries don't spill on your suit jacket while travelling (I know this is a big concern for many). For those of you who have put on a few extra pounds, but don't want to buy any new clothes (of course you'll lose the weight soon...), you might want to check out the device that helps you put on such tight-fitting garments. It's actually a bit scary how many of the inventions on the list have to do with the toilet. Apparently too many inventors come up with their best ideas while perched on the porcelin throne.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
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.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. 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.
