Absurd Inventions

http://totallyabsurd.com/absurd.htm
The endless pursuit for quick money has lead to some pretty goofy inventions in this country. Take the patented "all-terrain stroller," a battle-ready baby carriage that comes with tank treads and steel armor. Not high-tech enough for your toddler? Perhaps if you'd known about the "diaper alarm" sooner, baby wouldn't have such a rash. There are also plenty of toys of grown-ups such as the "face-flexor" exercise machine and an basement bargain nuclear fallout shelter.
