    Is that an invention?

    "my uncle invented the rubber chicken"

    yeah, I guess that works.

    I once had a little doodad that was, well, it was a speaker for like a cd player or mp3 player that you would suction cup to a window, mirror, smooth table, etc. and it would make that surface into a not-very-loud, horrible-quality speaker. Totally, f'n, pointless...

    I see them as pointless because in example, you're mother could be socialising with people to 'Open the Jar for her'.

    A better one is the Electric Pepper pot, with the button to grind the pepper. It's all very lazy.

    It opens Quake's console, and that justifies its existance entirely.

    Shoes for dogs are a good thing. For example in winters when the streets are salted dog feet get irritated by the salt and it's actually harmful to them.
    Also police in Germany use dog shoes so that they don't cut their feet on broken glass, etc. when on duty.

    Yeah which key are you talking about?

    If it's the tilde/prime key (~/`) both the prime and the tilde have uses. Prime being obviously to express prime in math. And tilde to denote a regular expression in Perl to name one for each.
