RUSSIANS CREATE FISH-SKIN BATHING SUITS

GENEVA (Wireless Flash) -- A new line of Russian bathing suits may strike swimmers as a little "fishy." That's because the new swimsuits are made out of actual fish skin -- and they come complete with a matching pair of salmon skin beach shoes. The Russian "fish swimsuit" is just one of the bizarre creations currently on display at a global inventor's convention in Geneva, Switzerland. Some of the other odd inventions include... -- A vitamin-enriched vodka which provides 100 percent of your minimum daily requirements in each cocktail. -- A telescopic Alpine horn that collapses so you can carry it easily to the top of a high mountain. -- And, finally, a new engine oil made from vegetables which can be recycled into garden fertilizer. The convention wraps up later this week.
