By Village Mayor • Feb 18th, 2009 • Category: Funny, Latest Post, The Best of Village of Joy, WeirdThis post could be also called stupidest inventions, coolest inventions or the most useless inventions. It doesn’t change a thing – they are all just incredible.
Most of them are probably not new for an experienced web surfer like you, but I heard that there are some people who use Internet solely for reading Village of Joy blog, so this post might be just for them.
Happy reading!

A US underwear manufacturer has invented pants designed to hide the smell of farts. To prevent gases escaping without passing through it, the underpants are made from air-tight fabric and completely sealed with elastic around the waistband and legs. “We get a lot of jokes – but we don’t doubt that this is a serious product that serves a purpose” says inventor Buck Weimer.
4. Cool Straw lips
5. Bed Ruler

When time is up, a bell sounds and the penguin automatically lifts his beak, removing the tea bag from the water. You can buy one on Amazon

If anyone saw you wearing a techno-scarf on your PC they would immediately think you’re watching porn, even the kiddie kind or hacking some site or account. That piece of fabric is social suicide, what kind of an imbecile must you be to invent such idiotical horror?
The toaster is a CONCEPT, not functional yet. Excellent idea thow. Fingernail watch – cool but that’s where the buck stops. Plus we’re heading fast towards wearing multimedia communication powerplants of a computers on us, so a fingernail that only shows the time simply doesn’t have enough options.
I found the lockcup stupidly brilliant. If not for anything else, you can really stick it to that one that allways takes your cup at work. Not for daily basis thow.
Umbrella shoes. Hands down, pure genius. The absolute of uselessness, and the inventor knew it.
The asian inventions show just how simplistic their creative mind is. If you need intricate, ask a french chef.
Stair drawers ?!? How come I didn’t think of that? Away with all those cumbersome closets. And it cleverly uses space that is otherwise wasted. EXCELLENT.
Two cents over.
Signing off…

September 8th, 2009 at 4:21 pm

The trasparent toaster is genius. i have burned my toast countless of times just because i cant see if their ready.

The fishbowl bookends are cruel. A fish needs a gallon of water to have enough oxygen. Most people don’t know this, so they put in a fish, it suffocates and they put in another fish and so on. Life is cheap — if it isn’t yours…

The stair drawers and nail clock are brilliant! Love the travelers’ shirt too XD

You would have to be a touch typer to use the techno scarf :#
and stars one acctually a really good idea imo
April 7th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
the techno scarf would be awesome. the poor person wearing that would get so tormented. They can’t see you!

The banana saver…is that -actually- that object’s intended use?
As for usefulness, the thumb watch and the transparent toaster are fantastic ideas. You can check 10 different time zones at once! 20, if you’re wearing flip flops.

March 13th, 2009 at 2:58 pm

March 9th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
the coolest and useful invention in the list in reality is the stair drawer coz it will save you some space especially if you just own a condo or apartment..the craziest would be the fake breast haha dont wanna wear that fake breast even in my dreams..
