For your viewing pleasure today, we bring you a stupid invention, just in time for your holiday gatherings:

The Beer Rocket Launcher:

As you can see, this handy dandy invention straps to your back, and just perfectly accommodates this lovely cocktail dress with 6″ high heels. Manufactured by a German company called Rocket Packs they also offer a wide array of other stupid beer inventions. The disappointing part? It is not really a rocket launcher, so no, you cannot fly across the English Channel like Jet Man.

Special thanks to Chris for finding this and sending it to me. He’s got a pretty funny website you should all check out and visit at The Shark Guys.

What do you think? Can you see yourself wearing this?

I was looking online for an image to use about telephones and calling people when I stumbled across this sweet little gem:

The Portable Cell Phone Booth!

Yes, no need to worry about a lack of privacy while on your cell phone - simply carry around this portable cell phone booth around on your back and assemble anytime when needed!

Nick Rodrigues is the guy who came up with this - go check out his site and be sure you watch the video there as well!

With something like this, there’s a good chance you won’t be worried about what your what your clothes say about you…I think the phone booth says it all!

Today is Labor Day, which is the U.S. means lots of people will be heading back to school or have already gone to back to school. So today for your enjoyment I’ve featured some of the best “Must-Have” Back to School funny inventions for students and teachers.

The Flying Alarm Clock:

Perfect for heavy sleepers and moms who are sick of waking their kids up for school (I am learning as a mom this starts as early as the second day of school) the flying alarm clock launches a flying disc and rings annoyingly until the disc in put back in place. Nothing like forcing someone to chase flying objects in the air to wake them up! Yes, you can really buy this, Click Here to Get Your Very Own Flying Alarm Clock for $13.95.

USB Powered Missile Launcher

For the students who are attached to their laptops and computers, a USB powered Missile Launcher is obviously a necessity for back to school. I know I would have loved one of these in my classes for taking out a few a certain people that annoyed the heck out of me! Click here for more details on the USB Powered Missile Launcher.

The Pirate Toast Stamper

Breakfast is a very important part of starting back to school the right way. And what better to way to motivate oneself to eat breakfast but with a Pirate Toast Stamper? (Don’t answer that question).

What do you think? Know anybody who could use any of these funny back to school inventions?

After writing my recent article for Associated Content on stupid inventions and to celebrate the article making the first page of google, I thought I would find a few more to add to my ever growing collection of stupid inventions for Best of Stupid. So here they are for you:

Stupid Invention#1: To-Do Tattoos

Remember when you used to write things on your hand with a pen? Well now you can write your list and tattoo it anywhere on your body with Fred To-do Tattoos. For $3.50 you can get 12 of these temporary tattoos to impress your friends.

Stupid Invention #2: Purple Moon Shoes

The sheer delight and glee of wearing these giant and clunky moon shoes is evident with this picture. The manufacturer describes these shoes as mini trampolines for your feet to help you experience anti-gravity effects. They’re not just for kids - they can fit up to a size 9 men’s shoe and hold up to 180 pounds. And what a bargain to trip over yourself - the Moon Shoes are only $34.99.

Stupid Invention #3: Anti-Monkey Butt Powder

If you don’t want to have a monkey butt, Anti-Monkey Butt Powder might be just what you need. I think it’s just an expensive version of baby powder, but it’s good to know that if you ever worry about developing a monkey butt suddenly there’s a product out there.

That’s all the time I have today, but I’m sure I’ll continue to find some other stupid and funny inventions in my travels that I’ll post again soon.

One of my biggest pet peeves when eating out is ordering coffee and then the waitress never coming back to bring more. I’m not a huge coffee drinker, but when I want coffee, I want coffee and I WANT IT RIGHT NOW.

I saw this coffee mug today on WickedCoolStuff.com and thought it might just be the thing I’ve been waiting for:

I’ve paid my dues to the food industry and know exactly what it’s like to be a waitress. I would have strangled a customer if they rang a bell anytime they wanted more coffee. But then since I know what it’s like on that side, I expect my coffee to be filled. It’s not hard to make sure your customers always have coffee, even when you’re all by yourself in a packed section with 20 tables. Most people are sympathetic towards a waitress if you’re getting slammed - as long as their coffee is filled and hot.

It might not be practical or useful…but it is pretty funny. All I need now is a good coffee maker. If you want one, you can get it at WickedCoolStuff.com.

What do you think? Do you wish you had one of these? Or better yet, share with me your worst food service nightmare stories
