Brilliantly Bad

A collection of actual patents for wonderfully bizarre inventions, Brilliantly Bad is a salute to what the human mind can achieve - even if it probably shouldn't. This collection of the strangest ideas ever patented, ranging from the bizarre and baffling to the slightly sinister and oh so close to genius, is a true celebration of human ingenuity in all its (occasionally) pointless glory. INVENTIONS INCLUDE: * A coat that doubles as a urinal * A musical condom * An automated pet petter * Face-lifting earrings * A weight-lifting device for the penis
