Apart from this thread, what do you find to be very useless inventions? I'll get back to you on this one, because all I can think of at the minute is drink coasters!

wow, a spork really IS useless. leg warmers, on the other hand, are usefull when cycling on cold weather and i guess it helps dancers warm up quickly.

Paper weights. I mean some of them look really nice but that doesnt change the fact that theyre used for putting weight on paper.
Ubi Soft's gamesThe Grandia games were brilliant.

Yeah, who needs something that's billions of dollars and that will blow the world up 6 times over?

Grandia wasn't MADE by Ubisoft, they were pubished by them I forgot what company made Grandia.

As for the Dreamcast, its the best console ever made. Not only does it have a nice unique collection of fighters and RPGs, it can emulate almost anything. And I mean ANYTHING. Plus it's got better sound quality than a PS2.

Game Arts made it, and I agree about the Dreamcast. If it wasn't for the DC, there'd probably be no online gaming on consoles. Plus, the system has the best lineup of fighters and shooters I've ever seen.

As for useless inventions, almost all inventions have some sort of use, even if it's just a small one. Drink coasters keep water rings from being formed on the table, which keeps the table from having a permanent mark on it. May not sound like the best of uses, but oh well.

But if you meant it in a sense like, not useful to YOU, then in that case, for me, it would be a TV antenna, since the reception sucks in my area.

Drink coasters are good for flinging at people.

Sporks . . . bear an ill design.

Never heard of gym knickers (never heard of gym pants neither).

Legwarmers . . . could be used as scrunchies . . . which are good for flinging at people.

Sports bras . . . those topless mothers in Africa and such-forth are all nice in their natural glory . . . but I’d freak out if every girl in America suddenly stopped wearing bras and began to develop long sagging breasts as a result. *shudders*

Ubisoft. Didn’t they make Prince of Persia? Prince rocks.

Sonar is used in the water. Radar is used on land.

Paper weights can be instant death. I’d prefer not to have one lying around my humble abode.

Weapons of mass destruction are useful for getting rid of those pesky terrorists . . . and all other existence.

The first wheel wasn’t actually useful.

The first Matrix was alright; the sequels sucked.

I never bought the Dreamcast, the controllers were way too bulky for my dainty hands.

Netscape is my homepage. IE is my browser.

Any sort of pride is useless in the face of death.


A used condomDefinitely not something you would want to use.

A TV antenna can be used to scourge the demon’s of the night.

Hamburgers are warm . . . therefore, they’d keep your ears warm. Not only that, it’d have an enjoyable smell. Mmm, burgers.

“Shut up or I’ll sick my pet rock on you!” *throws*

Ephemeral Fantasia is a game I wish I would have bought. I can’t find it anywhere, DAMNIT!

Throne . . . good one.

And may I ask what you used to download your beloved preacious little Firefox browser? Yeah thats what I smurfing thought. Oh wait...that would make Firefox useless too! Even MORE useless! I agree!

Seriously...think about what you're bashing before bashing it and making an idiot out of yourself.

But, you would need IE to download IRC. And, to download MSN and such so you could be sent the file. :)

GTA VC quote flashback



Maurice: It's a difficult question, Jan. A very difficult question.
Is it right to lie?

Barry: Clothes are a lie, Maurice!

Maurice: No, Barry. Clothes are a way of keeping warm and not getting
arrested.

Barry: No policeman has ever hit me with his truncheon-

Richards: I'd like to hit you back to Hell, you sicko! You're filth!
Human form of vermin! A blight on a fine society of picket fences and
garden parties, and everyone coming three times a day to my statue to
pay homage.
