AMERICA’S MOST BIZARRE INVENTIONS



Kansas City, Mo. (Wireless Flash) – You’ll never see June Allyson hocking diapers for horses, but, believe it or not, someone has invented them. That’s just one of the bizarre inventions issued by the U.S patent office, according to Ted Van Cleave, author of the new book Totally Absurd Inventions (Andrews McMeel). Other oddball inventions include... A “Motorized Ice Cream Cone” that spares the wrist by rotating the cone for you. An “Alarm Fork,” which forces the eater to slow down and enjoy their food with flashing red and green lights. And something called “Hospital Happiness.” It’s a sort- of “butt dickey” worn in the back of those revealing hospital gowns.
