Seemingly Useless Products or Inventions

[Melki]

My kid came home wearing a 3D T-shirt. (Seems the college store couldn't sell them, so they were giving them away.) It comes with a pair of glasses, and when I put them on and looked at his chest - YOWZA!!!! It was like that eagle was comin' right at me!

But...since the majority of the population is not walking around wearing 3D glasses...it seems kind of pointless to me.

[Rebecca]

Which might be why they didn't sell!

Still I suppose you could freak people out by wearing to 3D film screenings...they'll never expect someone's t-shirt to pop out at them! ;-)

[Melki]

Do they make objects appear larger than they actually are?

One would hope that there is no need for 3D assistance in that department...although...one should not make such assumptions ;-)

The dueling sounds a bit like Star Wars, with the light sabres and all...I wanna watch Star Wars now.

I'd like to see a T-shirt that made the wearer appear in 2D. Or glasses that could remove the 3D effect in cinemas and let you watch the film normally.

I think landing lights to guide us blokes to the right spot would be more useful.

[Melki]

Don't we usually let you know when you're in the WRONG spot?

(And welcome back, Chris!)

Yes, but the pleasure of the flight up to that point can be utterly spoiled if the landing gear connects too hard and/or with the wrong part of the runway. :(

(And thanks.)

[Melki]

Wait...we aren't really talking about planes, are we?

[[deleted user]]

No. (And my dog has just jumped on my lap and kicked me in the landing gear. Aaagh!)

[Mathew]

Haha, planes. Now there is a useless thing.

[Melki]

So sayeth the guy who's flying in one to the Magic Kingdom next month...unless you're not really talking about planes either...

[[deleted user]]

You can go by plane to Landover?

[Mathew]

Dang it, Melki found me out. I have no idea what I'm talking about...it just kind of sounded funny to me.

*slinks away...down some stairs while making a slinkity sound*

[Melki]

Now I'm picturing you going down the stairs like a Slinky. Seems like it might be painful.

Chris, you had me scratching my head until I Googled Landover - Magic Kingdom For Sale/Sold.

Cute!

I enjoyed it, but I see that it didn't meet Bookworm's expectations.

[Mathew]

I've read Magic Kingdom for sale...it was the first fantasy book I read where reality mixed with fantasy and I had a hard time with that...I don't like to think about Landover anymore. :(
