The World's Most Expensive (and Useless) Floor?

Now here's a good one.

Have you ever wished your floor could be a mirror? How about an electronic mirror, that can play games such as soccer or basketball? Well now you can!
This new "GravitySpace" floor uses your weight to monitor where and how you are standing, and creates an upside-down mirror image of yourself below you that copies the moves you make. You can play different games on this, such as kicking a soccer ball back and forth (sounds really fun, I know). And....that's about it. This thing is pointless. I really don't get it. Why wouldn't you just go kick a real soccer ball around? It would certainly be cheaper. Although I guess this fancy floor might be a little more useful for someone with no friends, but still doesn't quite seem worth the cash and hassle.

Hopefully next time I'll have an interesting or useful invention to blog about, rather than something that is stupid, useless, and unbelievably expensive. A guy can dream, right?

Another Interesting Weight Loss Method...

To go along with my previous fork story, I seem to have found one that may not seem as ridiculous, but I assure you still is. This time we have a exercise bike machine planted underneath your desk at work. Yes folks, you can now work, work out, and have a fork sing at you, all at the same time!
Okay, so I know this idea isn't completely ridiculous, but you still have to think about it. What would you say if you showed up to work and found one of these under your colleague's desks? I think it may be a bit weird, not to mention distracting. But, I do suppose it is cheaper than a gym membership as well as it is a time-saver. Still seems ridiculous to me though.

Self Portrait

Here is my self portrait. I didn't turn out exactly as I had planned, but I actually still like the outcome. I would have preferred it to be a bit brighter, but I think the dark aspect gives it a good feel.
This portrait resembles me in one main way. If you ask anyone who knows me even fairly well, they would tell you that I am a fairly strange person. I act weird and make weird noises...that sort of thing. This picture represents this quite nicely. This picture is weird, just like me.

Weight Losing Fork? Please...

As I was wasting my time and derping around on the internets, I stumbled across this story about a fork the supposedly helps you lose weight. It obnoxiously buzzes and beeps at you if you eat too fast, reminding you to slow down.
Are you kidding me? You have to be kidding me. If you want to lose weight, you could go for a jog. Or eat healthier food. Or eat less food. Or something that would be more effective than spending an extra $100 on one stinking little fork. This idea seems beyond ridiculous to me, and just proves more and more that people want to be skinny but their massive laziness seems to always get in the way. Hopefully some of our world's greatest minds are working on something a little more useful than a fork alarm, such as a flying car or jetpack or something. But I guess we will just have to wait and see on those ones.
