Useless Japanese Inventions

My friend Andy had a link on his blog to this Taiwanese site that had scans of this book on "Useless Japanese Inventions."

I downloaded the pictures, transliterated the eyestrainingly difficult to read text, and mirrored them on my site for your enjoyment.

The amusing thing is that despite their silliness behind these inventions (and the liberal use of prosthetic limbs and bathroom implements) they are still pretty practical (for the most part).

Enjoy.
