World's Gheyest Inventions

Can anyone top one of these beauties?

I remember they were all the rage when they were released a few years back in the US and it seems I ran into, literally, the only man in Australia ever to own one.

The bloke, in his 40s or 50s, came flying around a corner unsighted, there was a massive hedge on the property blocking view from both sides, and nearly took myself and my labrador out on the footpath.

The guy that invented them certainly has a lot to answer for.

Back, sack & crack waxes. Sorry, but some parts of the male anatomy are meant to be properly hirsute IMHO.

How about gloves that dont have individual fingerlets? Mittens?

I dont mind mittens. They are easy to slip on if you are going out in a jiffy. (Yes, i am the gimp who always gets his ring finger in the middle finger slot in the glove atleast 2 outta 3 times).
btw, most mittens here (Canada) come with individual fingerlets but they are open ended and upto the first joint, like biker gloves, with the 'no fingerlets part' folded or buttoned back up.

My little finger is so small that it has to go into the fingerlet containing the ring finger when i wear gloves.. I rarely ware them, they are for sissies unless you are in the arctic north or skinning a goat..

Haha, some Yanks think I live in a mud hut surrounded by Lions and snakes.. Sometimes I ride an Elephant to work..

London hardly gets snow these days.. In the South of England you only get decent snowfall every few winters.. Seems to be the same as Vancouver, which apparently is one of the best cities in the world to live in

Bangor got a good amount of snow last year. Had a good load the year before at home too. :)
