Ridiculous Patents

Neck Pack
Patent awarded: 2005
Traveling with many items, such as a telephone, pen or pencil, coins, cigarettes, etc., can be very cumbersome, particularly when all of the items need to be readily accessible. A fanny pack for your neck.

Life Expectancy Watch

This watch reminds you it’s only a matter of time before you die. Hope the battery doesn’t die.

Gerbil Shirt

HAHA, my favorite has to be the life expectancy watch. That seems like it would be a fun novelty item in a joke store.
