wow this took too much time to figure out how to actually post this , but here is the web site that i mentioned in class : http://www.designboom.com/history/useless.html
its pretty funny, these inventions should be useless otherwise they DO NOT qualify to be consider a Chindogu : )
my faves are the chicken eye protectors and the duster slippers! i think there are actually books made about these silly inventions and mostly from asia! there was this HILARIOUS one that was made for subway commuters where people could nap while standing because they could rest their chin in these cup like thingies and it was connected to a tall tripod....silly sillly people. i'd be very embarrassed personally to try it out-but if i had a friend with me, maybe i would try out some chin0cup-subway-nappers.

hahaha I'm going to have to say that the fork alarm is my favorite. like a lot of the other ones seem to have a purpose. Maybe the chickens want their eyes to be protected. Every time I go to a farm (which was weirdly a lot when i was little) they were scratching around in the dirt. What if one chicken scratched up a pebble and it went right into another chickens eye? then the chicken eye protectors aren't so funny anymore! :) Also I want to get a pair of duster slippers for my dogs so that my mom wont ask me to dust ever again.
ANNND aren't the fingertip tooth brush things real? Oral B brush ups haha.

Can I just say that nothing is cuter than a cat wearing mittens? Now trade those mittens for duster slippers and I'm sold. Hands down best invention.

Side note: that cat would destroy those slippers in about 2 seconds.
