    Funny post! Although I found myself sitting here trying to find reasons why some of these might be useful. :)

    # 1 - I saw a news article where legally blind people could actually get driver’s licenses. They use special binocular glasses to let them see long-range. But I don’t suppose they’d need braille.

    # 10 - If you have a laptop and a wireless broadband card, you could report a power failure.

    I’m crazy, I know. - Andrew

    #7 would be like motorcycles with radios, you would just need to turn the AC fan up higher to feel the effects

    Don’t forget the Football Bat and the Soup Sandwich.

    I never considered ways some of these might be useful and I’m pretty sure this list is not limited to 10. :)

    I think people just make them to be funny - when they die, at least they’ll have something to say for themselves “maker of butter-gluestick” sort of thing “s/he dreamed of making the world a more functional place”… ha ha ha
