I think mobile phones or ,Cell phones for my American buddies, are not pointless as such but have killed socialism, either that or the mop JML made which tells you how much oxygen to carbon dioxide their is in the room so you don't over do the floor...

Al Gore.

All he does is sit there and talk about Global Warming. And his voice puts caffeine addicts to sleep.

Seriously, though, I think the most pointless gadget I've seen are those stupid little grabber arms that Billy Mays used to sell (or somebody as annoying as him). Anything you could use those arms on, you could instead just go fetch a ladder, or stand on your toes, or use a bullwhip.

A gun that's shaped like a pen for use during the Cold War.


Cookie for anyone who gets the reference!

Or perhaps we could make you a snake-shaped gun?

Sorry, already gave away the cookie!

But, you still deserve something for the effort and your kick ass avatar

Twitter and text messaging, these things should be outlawed at once.

Those devices that allow you to write on a screen in your own handwriting (its like a palm-top, but thats all it can do)...can't we just do that with pen and paper

That thing called a scanner? Yeah, weird huh?

Forgive my sarcasm, but I find it strange that there's a device for it. You can scan seperate letters and bind them to the keys on your keyboard. Put the pictures in word, and you've got your own handwriting.

The magnescribe. It's a stupid looking pendant with a digital clock for christ knows what reason, that comes with a pen that magnetically attaches to it.




Apparently, sticking shit together with magnets is revolutionary and "patented magnetic engineering physics" is the new term for "a spring".

it looks like if you try to write with it the pen goes back into itself. lol

DIGITAL clocks

Cant u just have a normal clock with hands? It proves you can tell time

We have this program on television here called 'de Bedenkers' (i guess you could translate it to 'the inventors') where people compete for money to furth develop and exploit their inventions.

It might not be the most pointless ever, but last years winner was something called the 'Paperbuddy'. It's basically a gadget for storing old paper, because apparently using something as simple as boxes doesn't work. The inventor got €25000 and a contract.

Btw, the runner-up was a seatbelt that prevents whiplash during car accidents and being safer than a regular seatbelt. Call me stupid, but that seems like a much better and more useful idea.

Another example from the same show is the 'Self Inflating Condom'. It's a thick, tough condom that can fill up with air, becoming rigid, and can be used as a sextoy or for men with erectile disfunction. Because the dildo and viagra don't exist yet.
