Name That Weird Invention!



Steven M. Johnson comes up with all sorts of wacky inventions in his weekly Museum of Possibilities posts, but something's missing from his strange gadgets: names. Can you come up with a name for this one? The commenter suggesting the funniest and wittiest name will win a free T-shirt from the NeatoShop!

Contest rules: one entry per comment, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Please make a selection of the T-shirt you want (may we suggest the Science T-shirt, Funny T-shirt, and Artist-designed T-shirt categories?) alongside your entry. If you don't select a shirt, then you forfeit the prize. Good luck!

Update: Congratulations to first prize winner Jacob Holcomb, who named it Right Side Up, and second place winner Guldaur, who named it Awrygarb. Both win t-shirts from the NeatoShop! We also have some entries deserving of honorable mention: Amanderpanderer  parallelopants, Scarab Tilt-A-World Officewear by Management Vision, Scarab Sidewinder Suit, BrianD Slantaloons, BrianD The right pants!, reba buhr the elongoutfit, Trevor The Turncoat, and Trevor again for Whirrdrobe

I can't help myself: When I post these I start wondering what name I WOULD COME UP WITH. I was stumped on this one. So, already I am laughing at ParalleloPants. Really, I enjoy the cleverness that is displayed by reader-contestants. I think "OMG why didn't I think of that name?"

At first glance, looks like a half-bee suit. You know, like the beard o'bees guy, only its a suit.
