They say that often the best ideas are the most simple ones. To come up with an idea for an invention you have to think of ways it could benefit the user’s life in some way or something that can come in handy when required. These innovative ideas can sometimes come about by chance in a Eureka moment or they can take years to be crafted into perfection. There are some inventors though who simply do not understand why an invention needs to make a person’s life easier or in what way their invention can impact upon the buyer’s daily routines. Here is a list of five crazy gadgets that are simply weird.

Have you ever sat long enough on the toilet and the newspaper you took in with you simply wasn’t enough to help pass the time? If so then you are in for such a treatl the iCarta: iPod toilet paper holder is a set of iPood…sorry, iPod speakers that double up as a toilet tissue holder as well. There are four high performance, moisture-free speakers that deliver you your favourite songs as you sit. Just remember to take in your iPod with you!
2. Maple Phone

A camera phone made out of wood, who would have thought up such a crazy gadget? Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee, that’s who! The phone is covered in a thin wooden layering and has touch sensitive buttons, which light up when pressed. It measures 4.5 x 10.4 x 9.8 cm and is a slider with functions like calling, texting, MP3 player and digital camera. As nifty as it sounds just hope that you never get a splinter in your ear should you ever use one.
3. Private Laptop Viewer

The image of this unbelievable invention got me laughing so much that it took me around 27 minutes to compose myself enough to write about it. As you can see the person displaying the invention’s purpose clearly demonstates that you cannot view the naughty pictures she is looking at on her laptop or the top secret government report she is typing up. Sadly you cannot buy this invention anywhere but if you email ohmygodwhatdoyoulooklike@idontwantoneofthose.com then the inventor will knit you a brand new. Expect shipping to take up to four years as the inventor will need some time to knit you one…
4. As Seen on TV Hat

Working closely with the person who invented the private laptop viewer one assumes, this hat has been designed to give the wearer a unique “personal cinema experience”. Your iPhone or iPod Touch needs to be inserted in the dock on the side of the hat first in order for the magnifying plate to come into effect so that the images on the Apple gadget’s screen can be projected to the viewer…
5. The USB Butt Cooler

Is your boss tight with his money? Does he refuse to switch on the AC during the hot summer days in order to save a few pennies? If so then sweat no more with this butt cooling cushion. Pass the idea on to your boss and he’s sure to splash the cash on kitting the office out with these sweat-reducing cushions which can be perfectly fitted onto the office chaire. The cushion hooks up to your PC via the connected USB cable. Once powered it can blow cool air around your sweaty nether regions. How refreshingly cool!
