Every day inventors come up with weirder and weirder gadgets and this month is no different than any other when it comes to being introduced to a plethora a very strange objects that are meant to make our life more convenient but instead it puzzling and more complex.

Take the computer scarf for example. This is a hoodie type sweater with an eyepiece from which stretches a big funnel shaped piece of fabric that fits tightly over your computer monitor. Designed for technology fans everywhere, this scarf/hood provides you with a private environment for your computer, cell phone or even gaming console. It was a project invented by Joe Malia who is an art student in London.

Not as silly but still a bit odd is the PlayEngine from the U.K.. This refers to a flimsy looking computer monitor made out of bamboo. . Not only are they low-plastic and lead free they also make you feel like you are in a tropical location. The monitors are available in fifteen, seventeen and nineteen inch sizes and range in price up to seven hundred dollars U.S..

In the very very bizarre category of recently invented gadgets is the Douchaise. This inflatable shower is designed by Daniel Harper and is a shower and chair in one. Basically it masquerades as a chair until you unfold it to discover that it is actually a fully functional shower with air supported walls. The base of the chair contains a blower, water heater, pump and filter which recycles water to reduce usage. Miraculously this thing has two rooms…one two shower in and another to dry off in. You can transform it back into a chair in just two minutes!
Bandai has invented a toy called PutiPuti, which emulates the sensation you get from popping bubble wrap along with the sound. So why is it different from just popping bubble wrap? For every 100 pops they throw in an unexpected noise such as a door bell, barking dog, fart or sexy voice. The PutiPuti comes in 5 colours and is attached to a key-chain so you can pretend to be popping bubble wrap.
The Trilobis 65 is a semi-submerged twenty metre long boat/submarine designed by Giancarlo Zema. It was created to accommodate six people and has four separate levels connected by a spiral staircase.
This is a self sufficient non pollutant house set up in Vancouver and funded by a company called Underwater Vehicles.
. The location may seem like an unusual choice, but the region has the two essential ingredients needed to make the Trilobis project a success. The first is its wealth of small inlets and bays. The second is a pool of wealthy yacht owners, one of whom may be willing to invest the $4 million to $5 million it will take to launch yachting into the 21st century.” (Sub-Find)
