I would top that list with the following three pure inventions:

The Salad Shooter.
The Bedazzler.
The Ginsu Knife.

wow, this is a crazy thread. I only got to about #50 before I got fed up with the misplaced sense of entitlement people have.

It seems to me that people are getting all worked up about something that they don't have the right to exert any claim to. To me, Boing Boing writers/editors have given me a glimpse into their perspective on the world by sharing with me things they find fun, interesting and at times very weird. In return, they get...absolutely nothing from me. Huh. What a concept.

If they decide to no longer share something they don't want to share with me, I'm fine with that. They've invited me into their home and I am their guest. If someone invited you into their house for dinner, would you fault them for not displaying photos of their ex-wife? They were there before. Now they're not. Is that ok?

It's really just a simple matter of manners you ungrateful bastards.

It seems to me the people who are giving BB grief are the same kind of people who would sit and listen to a street musician play his entire set and at the end not only leave without making a donation but also yell at him for ommitting a verse from your favourite song.

I wish we could unpublish the idiocy from people themselves. Good grief.

Incredible. It's an interesting discussion about whether or not he has an advantage. I say it's even steven; not having arms or legs means your opponent has a harder time to grab you and flip your or control you but at the same time you don't have hands or feet to help you balance or grab your opponent in return. His higher muscle to weight ratio and lower center of gravity would be an advantage mostly in defensive positions but in order to attack your opponent, wouldn't arms/hands and legs/feet be major assets? Again, not a wrestler so I don't know.

Watching the video it's very clear that he's not only fending off his opponent but basically attacking him at will. I'm not a wrestler so I don't know much about the sport but I would think that it takes an incredible amount of strength to hold a person down without any appendages.

I'm going to go and do some pushups now.

I find the idea that this kid is filming his buddies at 1 in the morning talking about his last fishing trip with his cell phone creepier than a gnome walking around at night in south america. I mean, the only thing normal about this whole thing is the gnome itself. Shouldn't those kids be out tagging walls or drinking beers?
