Wearable Chair is the Ultimate Invention

Seriously, how is it possible that the wearable chair isn't the hottest accessory around today when it was patented 30 whole years ago? Look at it! You strap it to the backs of your legs and you can just sit back and rest easy whenever you want! I wouldn't have to submit to the cruel tyranny of standing under my own volition any longer! It'd be perfect for concerts, the subway or the unemployment line, where you'd presumably run into the inventor of these things, Darcy Robert Bonner. Now that this thing has been rediscovered after being lost for so long, it's time to make the dream a reality. [Patent via Book of Joe]

Don't Blow Up Satellites, Catch Them in Gigantic Blankets

Sure, explosions are great and everything, but isn't there a more gentle way to catch errant satellites and missiles? There sure is, according to a recent patent from SVC solutions. Rather than blow them up, we can just wrap them in a giant blanket and parachute them to Earth! Yes, it's so stupid it comes right back around to being brilliant, and I think the military should start producing these right away. Get on it, USA! [FlightGlobal]

Water Pistol Umbrella Makes the Rain a Hell of a Lot More Fun

Holy crap, this is the coolest umbrella I've ever seen. It's got a little funnel at the top that sends rain water down the handle into the water pistol grip at the bottom. It'll keep you dry and give you the opportunity to get others wet at the same time. It appears to be just a concept at the moment, but someone needs to make some phone calls and get it into production right now. I'm not kidding, go. Now. Check a picture of it in action after the jump. More »

Latest by crash: +1 on YOUGOTTABEKIDDING's idea of disguising it as a normal umbrella. Anyone want to guess how long it would take to "reload"? If it's not absolutely pouring, I doubt this is filling up too quickly. And if it is pouring, more »
