When Slipper Sizing Goes Wrong

We all know just how important decimal points are, but just in case you need a reminder, just check out this guy's custom made slipper.

Because his feet are slightly uneven, Tom Boddingham ordered them from a custom slipper making company. Unfortunately, the workers filling the order mistook the size 14.50 slipper for an order for a size 1450. That's right, it's 100 times the size he ordered, making it big enough for him to sit in.

On the upside, the company fixed the error and now Mr. Boddingham has a nice pair of slippers and an awesome new chair. Tom says he's hoping to sell it on eBay, where he will probably make a hefty profit. After all, it's not every day that someone finds a bear-foot slipper the size of an actual bear.

It's a food trough for goats that are on a diet. When they get too fat, their stomachs get poked by the sharp spikes and discourage over-eating.

Hi !
It's an ancient scoop designed to pick up lost buttons in the woods.
Bad design anyway, it often picks up lots of berries and no button at all.
So, you need to throw the berries away every minute, but still no button !

It's a shovel for encouraging five-year-olds to help with gardening. "Ye're an excavator, Harry. Now dig me a hole."

Actual Use Guess: Might be for harvesting huckleberries, or some such.

This is a scale model of the non-mechanized backhoe model of the 1930s, designed to give more people jobs as they did manual labor during the Great Depression.

This is the manual roto-tiller for hipsters who think using a gas-guzzling machine to make their organic gardens is too mainstream.

This is a pooper-scooper designed to spear & scoop up the turds, but let more sand & earth fall back to the ground.

It is the "Wilson Scoot Around": the deceptively simple portable rig they used to bring the animatronic head of the next door "neighbor" from the classic ABC sitcom "Home Improvement" around to boat shows and monster truck rallies for promotional purposes.

Ostrich neck basket! Their head fits through the slot on the top and it slides down their neck and rests on their chest. They can guard your valuables and no one goes near it because of the spikes, and o yea it's hanging from the neck of a big angry bird.

A fine folk art example of an Italian spaghetti harvester. Just run the serrated scoop through the spaghetti trees to remove the ripe pasta.
