USELESS INVENTIONS – CLOTHES PEGS THAT DON’T WORK

Here’s what we really need, this ingenious clothes peg that senses when there is rain in the air, and sends electrical signals to metal strips, making it impossible to use.

So, you’ve got this load of wet washing, pegs that don’t work because it might rain, what are you going to do? Stupid invention if you ask me, Is it so hard to look up at the sky?

Here are the best inventions according to a UK online survey.

Bicycle - 59%
Transistor - 8%
Electro-magnetic induction ring - 8%
Computer - 6%
Germ theory of infection - 5%
Radio - 5%
Internet - 4%
Internal combustion engine - 3%
Nuclear power - 1%
Communications satellite - 1%

Nuclear power? What about the contraceptive pill?
