The title says it all. This book was a strange mix of inventions that just show how there is someone, somewhere that thinks I can do this better or there is a need for some gadget. These inventions will make you laugh or go say what. If you cry it is going to be from laughing so hard. There were a couple of editing mistakes, but these were very minor instead of the it was he a couple of times. I will say it is well worth the reading.

Packed with the weird, the wonderful and just plain wacky inventions that have been patented over the past century. Many, unsurprisingly, never caught on.

Always hard to go wrong with one of these compendiums, especially if you are a fan of trivia or weirdness. Plenty. of both in this book.
