WORST INVENTIONS OF 2009...according to Time magazine
• Time Magazine has named NASA’s Ares Rocket as the Best Invention of 2009, saying it “dazzled even the skeptics.” But they also came up with the worst inventions of the year.
• The Smile Police: Employees at Keihin Electric Express Railway in Japan have their smiles scanned by software to maximize cheeriness
• The Jane Austen Monster Mashup Novel: It started with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Please let it end soon.
• Snuggies for Dogs: It's bad enough that humans wear "the blanket with sleeves." Do we have to put them on dogs as well?
• The Gas-Mask Bra: You have to admire the good intentions of the inventor who made a bra that converts handily into a pair of gas masks
• Computer Critics: A new standardized test in the U.K. will use software, not humans, to grade student essays. Shakespeare wept.
