in science, technology
The world always had its share of dreamers, tinkerers and inventors. Some who have had great ideas, but many more who had missed the mark. Some were ahead of there times, others ideas were just plain bad. This is a nod to the off-kilter geniuses who have come up short on success.

ha ha theh future will be full of free time. Well, we have no jobs, bad housing and crapy government. Maybe we should go back to the 50s. Atleast all they had to fear were other countries, not thier own government

@jobu:
reply | permalinkNo one said they aren't "bad". The title isn't "Bad inventions", it's "Failed Inventions"
Drugs and alcohol are a multi billion dollar industry, I'd say that's pretty far from failed.

what alcohol isn't in this yet, wow and cigarettes aren't considered bad yet. Apparently dieing of cancer and puking all over yourself creates a huge success story. tobacco will make your jaw fall of too.

10,000 x-ray machines, radium pills... these aren't failed inventions; they are the reasons for so many of today's genetic health issues. I liked the masonic symbol in the "A" in radium.
