Synopsis

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
