Weird inventions and there inventors
Happy Sunday to you all,
Hope you all enjoyed the today's service (that's if you went to church) as I did? Today's sermon session was extraordinary as the man of God was fetching the water of life directing from the throne of God. I bless God for his life.
Weird inventions throughout history
Not to deviate from the main topic, there have been a lot of inventions by notable scientist and inventors. Where some have made the living of much more easier and comfortable, some are used to destroy human life and property yet some others are just weirdπ€
Let's have look into some of them, shall we?
1. Brush and shine
Mr. Ted Spence, engineer of the Los Angeles Brush Manufacturing Corp., demonstrates the new "Hairline Brush" in Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 12, 1950. The brush is constructed to fit a bald head's contour, with bristles for brushing the sideburn area and a felt pad to gently massage the exposed scalp on the top.
Ahan, don't laugh at that invention nau!π€π
2. Horse-gas mask
Yeah, you read correctly.
A docile horse wears a gas mask as a precaution against gas attacks, on March 27, 1940. It was developed by "Our Dumb Friends League," a humane society in London, England.
Such wonder organisation name for such wonderful invention, don't you think?π
But I love the fact that they thought about the safety of animals even in a time of human self destructive warπ
3. Upside down phonograph
Even upside down, a stereophonic turntable continues to play and hold the interest of Helen Sorowitz, a visitor to the New York High Fidelity Show in New York, Sept, 9, 1960.Β
Make I should invent a stereo you hang on the ceiling, what do you think? π€
4. Neck bush
Five-year-old Tim Gregory wears, under protest, a brush that cleans a child's neck without the use of soap and water in Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 12, 1950. The plastic collar brush will dry-clean the youngster's neck thoroughly as he plays. The brush was developed by the Los Angeles Brush Corp. at a mother's suggestion.Β
Awwn, such an hygienic mother. Sorry ma, Tim hates it!
5. Pipe for two
George Braunsdorf, left, 6 feet 4 inches and Joe Damone, 5 feet 1 inch, demonstrate a pipe called the "Double Ender" in New York, June 2, 1949. According to its manufacturer, the pipe was designed as a means of conserving tobacco by a couple of pipe smokers down on their luck, or, sharing a smoke at a ball game.
Okay, remind me why I'd want to share the same pipe with a Friendπ€
6. Nuclear bomb shelter
Beverly Wysocki, at top, and Marie Graskamp, at side, emerge from a new family-type bomb shelter on display in Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 12, 1958. The shelter was designed by Thomas Villa, a Milwaukee architect. It is 8 feet by 8 feet by 14 feet 8 inches high, and can hold 8 to 12 persons in an emergency. It can be buried in the earth for added protection. Covered with three feet of earth, it is said that the shelter would be safe, within three quarters of a mile of ground zero if a 20 megaton nuclear bomb were to be dropped. Filters can be installed to make the air inside safe.
I think is actually nice and sensible. What do you think?
7. Pain free spanking
I laughed so hard while adding thisππππ
For fathers who can't bear to hurt the young one when he needs a spanking, this brush with rubber bands replacing the bristles is offered by the Los Angeles Brush Corp. in Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 12, 1950. The idea was suggested by a Montana father who balked at the conventional type hairbrush.Β
πππ
Why even bother spanking him? Rub the boy's bums with your palm and leave the brush aloneπππ
8. Driving under Hypnosis
Hypnotist Henry Blythe, gives his daughter Sally, 17, advice before she starts a driving lesson at Torquay, England, Jan 15, 1960. Blythe says he hypnotizes her as he has some 40 other new drivers, all of whom have passed their test. Sally has not yet taken her test.
What I still don't get is the reason for the experiment, so everyone can enjoy driving while being hypnotized?π€
9. Early video dating
Visitors to the Radio and Television Fair in Frankfurt, West Germany, Aug. 21, 1957, use a TV telephone to communicate with each other. Phones used for calls are linked to four TV sets and two cameras so each person can see a picture of himself and the person he is talking to.
So basically, what you expect me to leave my house, board a car or trek enter the building walk pass the person I'm supposed to go video chat with and pay you for that? No now, o wrong nowπππ
10. Family driving
To keep the kids happy when out driving, Jack Fletcher, designer at 21st Century Home, has installed three miniature steering wheels and a plastic windshield in their car at West Covina, Calif., Jan. 4, 1955. In the car are: Joan Fletcher, left-front, Jack Fletcher, right-front and in the backseat are: Johnny, 21 mos., Janie, 3yrs. and Ricky, 21 mos.
Okay, now that's cute
I'm supposed to stop at number ten but one more won't hurt, right?

Why would it even be called spanking if it is pain free...I'm confusedπ
