Gord's rant on some Useless Japanese Inventions (Part 1/3)

Chindogu; a term given by the Japanese for their out-of-the-world inventions that are not universal for everyone.

They may appear to be useless, but, they do serve a very small niche market that you might not heard of. It might looks funny to you, but it sound brilliant to others.

I am a big fan of Chindogu. I found these inventions from all over the web.

Here are my write ups on them.
