Big Hair Hat US Patent Issued In 1962 Back in 1962, big hair was, well... BIG! Big as in large, big as in popular, big as in bigger is better. And while big hair was all the rage, it had it's downside... showers. Large elaborate coiffures are unable to withstand water and pressure, which means using a standard shower cap would kill these killer creations. So our female inventors went into action and devised a jumbo solution, the Big Hair Hat! This rigid, waterproof shower cap has enough room to give Astrodome-like protection to even humungous hairdos. As a bonus, it's also suitable for Coneheads and Pope impersonations. Taken from http://www.totallyabsurd.com

Pet Petter US Patent Issued In 1989 Pets need petting and according to our inventor; "One of the primary elements of this relationship of man and domestic pets seems to be the scratching, stroking and petting of a pet that can be accomplished by it's human symbiont by reason of his greater dexterity. Though this petting process seems to be a necessary and essential element of a human relationship with pets, it oftentimes is neglected, undoubtedly to the sensual displeasure of the animal involved and quite possibly to the potential disruption of the relationship with that animal." Hey! We can't have you two breaking up, so when Benji needs a little extra affection, he can step right up to his new love machine, the Pet Petter! An electric eye spots your hairy little friend and signals the electronic motors to start swinging the petting arm tipped with a human-like hand.
