| book description |

A miscellany 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 *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
