Gerbil Shirt

From Totally Absurd Inventions, which lists "America’s Goofiest Patents," here is the Gerbil Shirt:
The Gerbil Shirt wraps your torso in plastic tube passageways, making your bod a super highway of fun for Binky and Bart. The interior surfaces are textured for traction and have air vents for easy breathing.
The inventor suggests you can clean the Gerbil Shirt by attaching it to a faucet (remove pets first please), and you should avoid collisions and falls that could cause pet panic.

Ever Dream This Robot?

Miss Cellania’s post of the mysterious man in people’s dreams reminded me of my own personal nightmare. Here’s the robot that’s been haunting my dreams. Have you been dreaming of the same bot?
30 Stupidest Inventions Ever
Life Magazine has a hilarious post up featuring what they consider to be the 30 dumbest inventions of all time. When you look through the list, filled with things like the shower hat to the right, you actually start to get an appreciation for things like the Snuggie.
Almost all of the inventions are from the sixties or before, so it’s not too shocking that many of them involve cigarettes, including a method for a couple to share a smoke and one for a person to smoke a whole pack at once -oh joy!
Are You A Nerd, Dork, Geek or Dweeb?

Recognizing the subtle differences between these similar titles can be confusing sometimes. Fortunately, this chart is here to help you understand which group you fit into.

Ugliest Product of the Year Contest
The Oops Design Awards have taken it upon themselves to do something that should have been done a long time ago -they have created an award for the ugliest, silliest and most useless product designs of the year. As you may have guessed, the lamp above is in the running for ugliest. It is the Oswine Lamp designed by Johanness Hemann. The nominees gallery actually has a few items I like, but for the most part it’s brimming with hillariously hideous items.

Silly Experiments in Spaaaace!
Koichi Wakata, a Japanese Astronaut who is working aboard the International Space Station was given the task to perform a few silly experiments in Zero-G requested by the Earth People of Japan. They consist of the mundane such as performing push-ups, squirting water from a tube, backflips and so forth but then some of them are bizarre like the “flying magic carpet” request! Oh, how I wish I were in space like Koichi and the other fine men and women of the ISS crew! I would see to it if I could perform the moonwalk in Zero-G!

Things You Probably Don't Need #8
As reader Casie reminded me, it’s about time for another Things You Probably Don’t Need. Now, this thing is an Archie McPhee product, and you could make a very convincing argument that you don’t actually need anything at Archie McPhee. But you really don’t need this, especially not for $9.50:

I mean, come on: gerbil underpants, sure. Chipmunk underpants, definitely. But squirrel underpants? That’s just ridiculous.

A Dalmatian On A Tricycle
I have no doubt that this will probably upset the animal rights advocates out there, but at least it will provide a little more happiness to all of you Japanophiles. That’s right, it is exactly what the title post indicates, a dalmatian operating a tricycle. Personally, I love Japan.

Beanie Baby Hunter Trophies
I have to love this stripus africanis sample. When you purchase them, you even get a nice little biological info about the species. The strupus africanis enjoys grass, cereal and Snickers bars.
“This ideal stripus africanus specimen has been stuffed and retains all of its original features. This bust would be an excellent trophy to add to your collection. A small plate on the bottom identifies its genus and species. The wood plaque that it is mounted on measures 5×7″ (or 13×18cm for our continental friends) and is pre-drilled on the back for easy hanging.”

Dead Dog Purse Based On Paris Hilton
It may be a little mean and silly, but I think this cute little dead dog purse is fantastic. Only problem, it’s $317.
“Based on Paris Hilton’s discarded pet Tinkerbell is an upside down dead Chihuahua. This design capitalizes on the trend of carrying a small dog as a fashion accessory.”

Creepy Denture Soaps
These soaps are really cool, in a disturbing, nursing home kinda way. Apparently, they even have a nice minty scent.
Sock Monkey Goddess Sarasvati
Every year, this crafter makes a new sock monkey. I love this one, it’s the Hindu goddess of the arts, Sarasvati.
Tacky Hillary Memorabilia

In an effort to ensure this site isn’t biased towards the left, I thought you may all appreciate these silly Hillary Clinton items. Although, to be fair, now the site seems sexist against women politicians, so I assume everyone will still be unhappy.
Sarah Palin Toilet Paper

I know Neatorama isn’t a political blog, (yet another thing I love about it), but I just couldn’t resist the chance to share this special Sarah Palin toilet paper. Regardless of your own political affiliation, you have to admit, it takes a special person to have a toilet paper printed with your face on it.
Maybe you never liked Palin, maybe you’re just upset at her for losing the election, but whatever your reason for wanting to buy this, it’s still going to run you a pretty hefty $9. So I guess you’d better really want it.
Also, if this floats your boat, you may enjoy the John McCain punching bag for the same reason.

Real Superheroes Are A Little Crazy
While I was on vacation this Christmas, I was lucky enough to grab the newest article of Rolling Stone and read “The Legend of Master Legend.” I haven’t read anything so funny in a long time.
I highly recommend reading this brilliant article that details the exploits of real life superheroes. Their main focus is on the man on the right in the photo, his name is Master Legend and he makes his own weapons to fight crime. And he give socks to homeless people to help fight staph infections.
While their hearts are in the right place, I have to believe there’s less insane ways to save the world. Still, it’s hard to resist adoring their great stories:
There was the time Master Legend and the Ace shut down a crack den; the drug kingpin they put out of business; the money Master Legend forcibly retrieved from a thief who stole from a handicapped Vietnam vet; and the recent mission when the Justice Force had to “put the stomp on a child molester and his gang of crackheads.” They had a plan, but things went awry when Master Legend’s brother was captured in the thick of battle by the child molester, whom they call Tree Man Roy.
