What does it take to be an inventor? A good idea? The creation of something marketable? Nahhh. It takes 150 bucks. That's the filing fee with the United States Patent and Trademark office. Most of the stuff filed is boring. Some is just plain odd. Here are six of the weirdest "inventions" of 2007.
THE COOKIE SANDWICH LIGHTER
You know what would be a great innovation in cigarette lighting technology? A sleek-looking model that can light cigarettes upside down. That's exactly what the Cookie Sandwich Lighter is! Nah, it's not. It's just a lighter. In the shape of a cookie sandwich. Which makes the fact that someone went through the trouble of taking out a patent preposterous. Because you only take out patents as security on innovations you fear might be stolen by someone else. And I'm fairly certain there's only one guy in this universe who's had the idea of a Cookie Sandwich Lighter. And that's the guy taking out the patent
DEODORIZER FOR CIGARETTE BUTT COLLECTION CONTAINERS
I love this one because it's a useless invention that serves as an add on to another basically useless invention. Those cigarette butt containers are already preposterous...why can't you just throw your butts away? And don't tell me that'll start a fire...dude, just put the cig out. And then some inventor decided to make those cig collection things smell good. Whooopiee! Here's a suggestion...a Cigarette Not Smoking Machine
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BLOCKING CONTENTS OF PORNOGRAPHY ON THE INTERNET
Hey inventor, didn't anyone tell you...the internet is FOR porn. The "apparatus for blocking contents of pornography on the internet" already exists. It's called the "off switch" on your modem. Short of that, good luck. Even if you manage to block every single porn site, there's always google image search, porn spam messages, erotic ascii art, etc. etc. I also love the technical terms for all the parts of the apparatus ("porno similarity measure," "reference porno DB," "porno determine"). Ahh, the ever elusive science of porno.
