Tech Patent Pending: Artificial Anus

Posted by Lance Chess on Fri, Jan 5 at 11:51 AM

I guess I’m the go-to guy for pointing out the cool shit that Goggle trots out in beta, so here’s another:

Google Patents

It’s pretty cool-works just like Google but searches the millions of patents that’ve been filed between 1790 and 1996. I looked up Evel Knievel and found this sweet motocross enhanced bicycle.

I also found an artificial anus.

Here’s a link to a page that has compiled several awesomely bizarre celebrity patents including the amazing finger tapping guitar kickstand invented by Eddie Van Halen.

Go ahead, waste some time!

It took me a second to realize that the "kickstand" part is for the guitar--not that someone designed a kickstand shaped like Eddie Van Halen. I think I like the latter idea better...see how he's even leaning in the right direction?
