Description

A miscellany of actual patents for wonderfully bizarre inventions, Brilliantly Bad is a salute to what the human mind can achieve - even if it probably shouldn't.

This collection of the strangest ideas ever patented, ranging from the bizarre and baffling to the *oh so close* to genius, is a true celebration of human ingenuity in all its (occasionally) pointless glory.



INVENTIONS INCLUDE:



* A coat that doubles as a urinal

* A musical condom

* An automated pet petter

* Face-lifting earrings

* A weight-lifting device for the penis
