Editor’s Note: We will be highlighting National Inventors Month. We’ll have a new episode of Inventor’s Journal every Wednesday talking directly with inventors. We’ll talk with the inventor of the Talking Toilet Paper Dispenser and find out how he came up with that idea. And we’ll look back at some wacky patents from the past. If you’re an inventor, tell us in the comments section, and we might do a story on You!
