The prism glasses that enable a person to read in bed are a serious invention: Paraplegics need and use them still today!

The suspended baby ones give me the fear.
Awesome creative ideas !
I can’t decide which is better, all the crazy ideas, or all the photos of the manifestation of the ideas! Too cool!
Wood bathing suits! Some of these are so funny. I could use the lying down reading glasses – now that was a great idea. 😀
They are available-ask an optometrist for recumbent spectacles.
I need them for when I’m sunbathing in my wood bathing suit!

great photo’s!
I’m surprised the illuminated tires aren’t around now.
Some brilliantly weird ideas – and I’m sure there are plenty of modern versions too!
That’s great! ++++ 🙂
Interesting,love your post!
Süperrr.
The recumbent prism spectacles are still available. Ask your optometrist.
Thank you for these. Made my day.
Kool 🙂
This is great, hilarious and very inspiring! 🙂
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Great interesting pictures
Actually, I remember the glasses for reading while lying down from 1976, when I had spinal surgery as a teenager and had to be flat on my back for several weeks. They had prisms in them. I was so grateful to be able to read during my long recuperation!
awesome

some crazy designs! I love the glowing care tires
As a pedestrian who has come close to being killed on many occasions I wish every car came with that safety net!
Oh my God, that tiny umbrella for your cigarette…. 😀 Also, I must have that Revolver Camera!
these images are sometimes funny, and thanks for your appreciation on my drawings!
Thank you. These are fun.
did anyone else think “Google Glass” when they saw TV glasses?
..But are they LEGAL in the upcoming Olympic winter games?!
Tires, definitely:) Fun post.
okay, I WANT illuminated tires! how utterly cool
yes I agree the tires were the best I would sport a set right now lol
Phone answering robots – the world’s first answering machine.
our inventions will probably look just as ridiculous in a hundred years or so.
I present for your consideration, the lap pillow (literally) http://www.japantrendshop.com/hizamakura-lap-pillow-p-64.html
The girl on the far left in the barrel (wooden) bathing suit: pulling. it. off.
Girl with the shutter blinds sunglasses: hipster before hipster was cool. So hip.
These pictures were awesome – they made me laugh, they made me cry, they changed my life. Thank you.
Some of these are crazy…but others are like, wow!
Any info on the origin or date for the Phone-answering Robot? That’s a classic design!
It was built in 1964 by Claus Scholz of Vienna. Its abilities were limited to picking up the phone, and putting it back down.
The Hubbard measuring vegetable pain is the same guy who invented Scientology!
Yes, that was part of his research. It was done at the Saint Hill Manor in England sometime in the 60’s. It is further covered in the best seller ‘The Secret Life of Plants’ by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird.
HA! i had a hard time staying in my seat! 😀 awesome post 😀
the reading while sleeping glass is amazing really . i need one.
Haha great post,
I actually want the glasses to read lying down…..
haha some of them are funny 😀 But the baby cage is a little scary..
Excellent post
Absolute genius
Brilliant, ingenious and hilarious…what the human mind can conceive…
O M G hahaha!! I almost had a heart attack when I saw the baby-cage :O I guess the ladies clear face mask was a great idea to go about in the rain without having your make-up run, but what about their hair? LOL what a fantastic collection of strange inventions!
Are you kidding with the baby cage? Other than that, some of these should make a comeback, such as the pedestrian protection thing.
I fancy knowing how much pain I cause my fruits & veg…
wow these are fun and kooky!
What is the story behind the “TV glasses”. How did they have that sort of technology?
The TV glasses was a mockup, inventor Hugo Gernsback built in 1963 to illustrate what he thought would be invented in the coming years. More here
Probably one of the most bizarre photos I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing it!!

Ingenious, interesting and some…crazy! 🙂
Family bike with sewing machine is crazy; definitely invented by an anti-feminist male chauvinist swine.
The fruit thing is cool & the tyres.
fantastic!! Doesn’t seem that iinventions for babies and animals got a fair shake at fun, though. Wonder if the kid in the cage is afraid of heights and small places at the same time, now. Probably died of excesssive anxieity.. This is really cool. Thanks.
