What are some things that, if invented would could not possibly serve their purpose (ie, will be totally useless). I heard one on TV the other day, it was waterproof teabags.
-
Oh yeah, and there was non stick Cellotape and fire proof-cigarettes. One of the funniest would be ejector seats for helicopters [:D]
-
Ejector seats for helicopters exist.

So do solar powered torches.
What about photochromic light bulbs?

My missus and me had an argument as we were packing away the shopping as i put the squashables and breakables at the bottom of the shopping bag. I asked her why would someone invent a breakable if you couldnt break it.
I decided to leave it and let her win after i heard her call me a oxy bloody moron.

Sheep shell suits (http://www.newscientist.com/gallery/dn14860-patents-images/4): Clippers have improved a little over the years, but sheep are still shorn in essentially the same way for nearly 100 years. Australian company Pitman-Moore Australia proposed giving sheep a drug that makes their hair fall out instead - Velcro-lined suits would catch the woolly harvest. Tests on Merino sheep produced promising results, they say.

What about a black highlighter?

Is that thing for disabled people? It looks really really uncomfortable.
-
It looks like hard work: the driver would need arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
-
The 'pedals' are So short?... they could have made them longer?
-
The cranks of the hand pedals would have to be shorter than half the drivers reach,
otherwise they would have to move their torso back and forward to operate them.
[I believe the hand-pedals can be set to opposite positions, like foot-pedals,
although I think this would make the "Handy" more difficult to steer]
-
Hand cranked wheel chairs were common in the twenties and thirties.

Why do they only make white twink? Why not green, or red or blue?
