What's the best thing you've ever bought... That's completely useless in all situations?

For me, it's this: http://gadget.brando.com/wildlife-photography-with-tactical-four-reticle-sight_p01341c073d003.html

You can't calibrate it's position, it doesn't actually give you a good idea of what you're shooting, and it makes you look like a weird combination of geek, tool, and worrying gun nut.

But by god, best 50 dollars I ever spent.

I bought Mortal Kombat Trillogy for the PS1 with the intension of playing it on my PS2.

Its like one of 10 games that doesnt work on PS2 :(

Awesome game, but pointless and a waste of moneys :(

I would say the banana guard I bought myself.
(as seen here: http://www.bananaguard.com/)

However, I have discovered it is quite good at guarding bananas, meaning it's not entirely pointless :(

Probably Pokemon cards. I don't really have a use for them, as nobody I know actually plays, but I like looking at them. Haven't gotten any in years though...

My collection of pocket watches.
Sure they're useful and pretty, but why would I need over 30 of them?

Ohhh. So much to choose from. Probably my signed picture of the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com crew. It serves no purpose other than to look awesome.

My Stargate coasters are slightly pointless as the job could be done by considerably cheaper alternatives, but they look cool and keep rings off my desk.

I bought one of those hats with holders for soda cans and a straw down to the mouth.

I have never used it, but I still love it! :D

I bought a FFXIII Lightning Play Arts model. Didn't exactly cross my mind that figures don't exactly do much. And it didn't help that FFXIII was a MAJOR disapointment to me.

Probably my R2-D2 projection alarm clock.
I never use it to tell the time or wake me up.
Seemed like a good idea at the time

My magic the gathering (or rahter say, tragic the gardening...(cookie for the reference btw!))cards. In school I played it a lot, there was a crap load of money invested in it. Now they are gathering nothing more than dust.
