Illuminated tires isn't a bad invention.

Rocket jacket isn't a bad invention.

There's that Australian or New Zeland or some guy that has flown his winged jet pack. Was on the news the beginning of this year.

i don't see how they can call the mini television dumb when you look at all the media pushed to cell phones, iCrap, portable gaming devices, and so on... Likewise the larynx telephone pickup was way ahead of its time. The gun with the curved barrel was developed for clearing rooms from around corners, and not the first of its kind- the concept had already been experimented with during WWI for trench warfare.

From what I remember the issue they had was the barrel wore out very quickly from changing the direction of the bullet.

This is a newer version. The actual "gun" part of the weapon is the Glock mounted up front.
