Oooh I found some really great ones.

This is a baby cage. The baby cage provides people who do not have a garden and live in appartment buildings the opportunity to provide their babies with time outside in the form of suspending them from a window over a busy city street.

This clever invention allows you to smoke outside while it's raining... that is unless there is any wind from any direction at all whatsoever.

This is the cigarette pack holder. Think you look cool holding a cigarette? Imagine being able to simultaniously smoke 20 of them! Genius.

The cigarette holder built for two. Now I can share a cigarette with my boyfriend without actually having to touch him, or touch anything with my mouth that he touched with his mouth. Perfect for your born again christian ex drug addict, and your swine-flu-pandemic enthusiast alike.

There are 24 more where that came from on the same article. If you have time, check them out.

For me, the worst invention is the cigarettes. I cannot think of a single benefit of smoking. But if you think of its ill effects on health you are going to have a long list. Even those who don't smoke them but are around smokers can be greatly affected too. And some find this habit hard to break and makes it addicting too.

It is the number one cause of cancer, it can cause hardening of arteries thus can increase blood pressure, nicotine that it contains can stick to the blood vessel wall of the arteries compromising their elasticity. It can cause blackening of the lungs and can later lead to emphysema or collapse of the alveoli, the smallest cells of the lungs where exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place.

Some study shows that it can lead to low birth weight for babies who have mothers who smoke during pregnancy. So, I think this can be considered one of the worst invention ever.

I vote the fax machine! Who needs this clunky and time consuming piece of equipment when we have email, cameras, and scanners? I say away with all fax machines ASAP!

I have to defend faxes in two regards: sending signed documents, and sending documents you don't have a digital copy of and also can't scan. I would rather use a fax than futz with a scanner!

Worst invention EVAR:

Jarts.

or Lawn Darts. Yes, kids... let's set a hula hoop on the ground as a target, then throw a heavy metal tipped dart straight up into the air. You can hope it goes into the grass inside the target, not into a playmates head.

Consumer Product Safety Commission
CPSC Bans Lawn Darts
CPSC Document #5053

Effective December 19, 1988, all lawn darts are banned from sale in the United States. Lawn darts, used in an outdoor game, have been responsible for the deaths of 3 children.

A set of lawn darts usually includes four large darts and two targets. The darts typically are about 12 inches long with a heavy metal or weighted plastic tip on one end and three plastic fins on a rod at the other end. The darts are intended to be grasped by the rod and thrown underhand toward a target. While the tip may not be sharp enough to be obviously dangerous, these darts can cause skull punctures and other serious injuries.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission urges parents to discard or destroy all lawn darts immediately. They should not be given away since they may be of harm to others.

Consumers who find lawn darts still being sold, should contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission on the toll free hotline: 1-800-638-CPSC (2772). A teletypewriter for the hearing impaired is available at (301) 595-7054. Consumers also may write to: Compliance, Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C. 20207.
009611

Consumers can obtain this publication and additional publication information from the Publications section of CPSC's web site or by sending your publication request to info@cpsc.gov.

This document is in the public domain. It may be reproduced without change in part or whole by an individual or organization without permission.

I was one of the lucky ones to have my own set of lawn darts before the ban came in to place. Though they really weren't very attractive to me until they became "officially dangerous". I did manage to not impale any of them upon my sister or neighborhood kids...

Alcoholic beverages could be the worst invention ever. Better put (as they were most likely a discovery) the manners and methods to produce them at will.

Along that line, the "Banana" Hammock.

My more serious side would say nerve gas.

Call waiting.

I hate being asked to hang on so the person I was already talking to can take another call. It makes me feel that my call is less important, and therefore I am less important than the person calling in. Bad personal and professional manners in my opinion.

Additionally it makes others feel they are more important if you don't interrupt you calls to take theirs.

Sure there will always be the argument, what if it's an emergency? I'm sure it happens, but in all the years that I have been asked to hold, it never was.

I think many people feel this way, but I have to disagree. Maybe this is the worst invention in terms of "manner" but I think manners are overrated. It is important to me to be courtious, but it is more important to me to be straightforward. Some times you are less important. If my boyfriend or my mom beeped through, I might even let you go to talk to them. I don't think you should be offended by this, as I may not be the most important person to you, either.

The worst idea that large numbers of men have ever accepted are the ideas of slavery and war. The day that man began believing he could own another man, that he had the right to decide which of his human "property" could live or die, which could be sold and which kept, and which could be thrown out on a dump heap like a piece of garbage....on that day, man took a huge leap backward into darkness from which we have never recovered, and perhaps never will.

The day that man decided it was acceptable for him to pick up weapons and kill his fellow man was just as dark. When joining with your neighbors to slaughter the tribe down the way became anything other than an unthinkable abomination, all hope for mankind was nearly lost.

From those two days, until this very day, man's inhumanity to man has become a growing stain on the collective soul of our race, a stain that can never be entirely removed. We fight and kill, we hate, and ridicule, and despise. We cut down our young men in the prime of their lives and we create widows, orphans, mothers and fathers with no sons. When out lust for killing is temporarily abated, we are left in a devastated wasteland, a moral vacuum where try as we might, we cannot convince ourselves that we are anything more than the savage beasts we have proven ourselves to be. It's hard to imagine that even in the depth's of our evil imaginations we will ever do anything worse that we already have. God help us all if we do.

lol, yeah, that's a bad one...

I would say our worst invention so far has been a tie between the atomic bomb, and the private banking system. Both destroy lives, cause people to live in fear, and put too much power into too few hands. I probably sound like I'm being sarcastic, but I honestly think that private banks have destroyed our country with greed, fraud, and somehow the power to just get away with out-and-out robbing the entire country so that a few men could become richer and more powerful.

I think the Text Message may be the worst invention.
While convenient - texting takes the human element away fro ma convo.

I sat there and texted my best friend thru the entire Green Bay/Minnesota game and after the 20th message, I wondered why the hell we weren't just talking...

Of course, then again, the atom bomb was pretty bad too...

Really? I love texting... it may have taken some of the "human element" but it's' so much more convenient. I don't have to to devote my entire concentration to a conversation for any amount of time,.. maybe a little inpersonal, but most of the interactions I have through texting are not of a personal nature anyways... things like breaking up or telling someone I have cancer I would reserve for a face-to-face convo anyway.... :)
