2. The Cat Wig. It's pretty difficult to decorate a cat, but with a kitty wig, it's easy! Click here for more. When your neighbors just won't believe your crazy, there's always Cat Wigs!

3. iPhone Fingers. Ranging from small to extra large, one Austrian company offers only the best in latex digital protection to keep your iPhone smudge-free. Click here for more. Stings when you pee? Well say goodbye to those awful I-Phone STD's!

5. The Inflatable Dartboard. Completely collapsible, the inflatable dartboard could — amazingly — be stuffed into a space the size of a small cup. Great for use in tight spaces and for those looking for a quick, single-player, single-hit game. There's no need to worry, though — it comes complete with a "puncture repair kit" in case anything should go wrong. Click here for more. Ah, a 3! Blow up another one, I can do better.

Socialism was invented in the 19th century, though I’d agree you can’t get much worse than it as far as inventions go.

Actually Socialism was invented long before the 19th Century. Read the Mayflower Compact, written circa 1620. Socialism at its finest, although it wasn't called "Socialism".

Funny thing, though it didn't work in 1620, nor in the 19th Century, nor will it now. The folks who continue to push this failure insist that it hasn't worked simply because "the right people haven't been in charge". I'd like to see exactly *who* would be "the right people", as then we would have definite proof of a sentient race other than our own...

Yes, you really need to explain why you feel that the pill has been a bad invention.
