10 of the Worst Inventions of All Time

While sure these are bad inventions, they are pretty tame when you compare them to some of the really, really awful inventions in history. I mean, cigarettes, nuclear weapons, the gas chamber would all come to mind as way worse than these. Not to knock your piece as it's pretty creative, but if we are truly going for the worst inventions of all time (http://www.ranker.com/list/inventions-that-were-worst-for-the-world/michael-gibson has a pretty good example of what I mean) then why not go for some that killed millions or caused birth defects decades later or helped make more people around the world more obese?

Gotta love the \"baby cage\", looks like a shopping cart turned sideways sticking out a window 10 stories up...Let\'s put our infant baby out the window in an iron cage.,...Would not go over to well today. LOL

\"German inventor Franz Reichelt\" The very first base jumper in history, 1912 he base jumps off the Eiffel Tower and films it....Like many base jumpers today it did not end well.....I like the end of the film, some guy is using a ruler to show how deep of an impression he made in the ground...Here is to you Franz, he may still be under the Tower......

T-Pain wearing a Beatles T-shirt?How dare he!He\'s isn\'t good enough to be wearing that. And probabley never hear of them!

I will pass watching the man fall to his death (in real life) in the parachute jacket. I'm sure his relatives will too.

device 1 was invented to prevent you from eating liver with fava beans and a nice kee-ante.

The pig is correct. I had my Pinto repaired for the recall at a dealership for free.

The one about Clippy is wrong in that it is not intrusive. It is also not useless, it is an attempt to make the usual 'help' feature fun. I reallt liked the wizard and the Earth. You have the option to turn it off so it will not pop up randomly.

The comment about the Ford Pinto is wrong. Ford did NOT just leave the fuel tank problem alone. The 1972 Pinto I was driving in 1978 was recalled. I took it to the local Ford dealership and they installed a heavy duty plastic shield between the gas tank and the rear axle. The original problem was a protruding bolt on the rear axle assembly would puncture the gas tank when the axle was pushed forward in a rear end impact. A ot of people have called the Pinto the worst car ever, but I absolutely OVED mine. I got it 3rd hand as my first car when I turned 16. I have a lot of VERY VERY fond memories of that car! It was too stupid to have anything power- steering/ brakes. But it would run when no other car would. Took my driver's license road test in it in Southeastern Alabama on a very HOT July afternoon. The test lasted less than 10 minutes because the examiner could not bear the heat in an unairconditioned car on a 95 degree Summer afternoon.

1912 video cameras, huh? Scholarly!
