Summary

Sometimes the stupidity of man is overwhelming, so much so that it is difficult to imagine that man has walked on the moon and created the wheel. Humankind has distinguished itself by its need to invent. Occasionally, however, we can get it wrong, in fact, very wrong, indeed! THE WORLD'S STUPIDEST INVENTIONS is an hilarious compilations of some of the hiccups and dangerously stupid inventions that have ever been created. You won't hear cries of Eureka�more like EUREKAARGHHHHHH! As you are left dumbfounded by the optimism of these unlikely inventions. From Pedragolli's swimming umbrella and the pedal-power shower to a flying machine powered by birds and the bicycles that never made it, they are all here in THE WORLD'S STUPIDEST INVENTIONS.
