Strange Musical Instruments

From the archives of Popular Science magazine, see nine of the strangest musical instruments ever, from the harpitar of 1918 to the musical typewriter of 1939. Each instrument is linked to the original magazine article about it. Shown here is a 14-foot tall fiddle, featured in a 1935 article. Link -via the Presurfer

The first time I saw the Bulls--t! episode linked above I expected this would come to pass (much like every other viewer, probably).

What I want to know is...how long does it take to milk a snail for enough goo to fill one of those teeny little bottles?

there used to be lots of ads about this thing in my country. But one day they stopped airing because everyone found out it didn't do anything... plus, it wasn't really from snails.

The best part is the almost painfully obvious photoshop job where the words were put onto the front of an apparently empty jar. . . that ruins the credability for me right there.
