Well, since the other guy posted the most useful invetions, so I'm posting this.

Here I know a few:

1.) This Japanese guy invented a mask for fishes
2.) A guy over in Cali (I think ???) invented this thing where you can recharge one dead battery buy using 12 brand new batteries.

now you guys finish this off

Cheers
Jeff
