What little charge they have will soon be gone. (c'mon, don't make me explain the jokes)

Yeah, but that belt just looks like a standard utility belt, without the post there is no way to tell at all that solar powered is part of the joke. It just looks like an owl with NV.

It's true that you could charge the cells during the day and use it at night, and while that's not exactly common it's hardly outrageously impractical.. in fact..

I just don't think it's clear enough, and don't think it's useless enough to be on theme..

Owls already have night vision. So this is essentially a very expensive hat. :D

The invention part is that it's a gadget specially miniaturized and tailored for a small owl and made even more useless by being solar powered. I think the joke and the pointlessness is pretty clear, but hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

Talk to any working wife/mother and they will tell you: everyone should have one.

Re: pop the top muffin machine

Thanks everyone for the positive comments so far!

Re: The Elephant Vacuum

For some reason I really like your drawing style.

Re: World's Finest Screwdriver

What's amazing is how many of these useless inventions being created for this derby have a bit of truth behind them. In this case, there really is an online store that will sell you a quarter for $2.95 to use as a screwdriver. Specifically marketed for people overseas who don't have the coin that some screws were specifically designed for.

Thanks to everybody else for the nice comments and votes!

The derby isn't "Existing things re-purposed" I could take an ice pick, poke people with it, and call it modern social networking, but it's still an ice pick, which I didn't invent, and it isn't new.

Super cute! Although I don't care for the $1000 either. And the > eye works just fine.

adorable!

Does that technically disqualify this one as well since it's technically a real product?

Re: Dunk Shoes - RESUB

I realized it didn't need words. The image is explains enough.

Re: This Shirt

Lets all get along here. After all, it's only a totally new shirt made with material you never even heard of.

I (like most) enter this contest because it's fun. Let's keep it that way. Thanks for the comments and votes so far everybody.

Re: Fish Sweaters

Oops typo, "the image explains enough"

Not counting you out but you should sell this elsewhere, and tell me where also

Decaf makes as much sense as non-alcoholic beer ... WHAT'S THE POINT?!

(Unless you're a SB "barista" ... then decaf makes great sense.)

FWIW, my cousin worked at a SB for 3 years, and she's only had to decaf someone twice. I applaud her restraint.

Re: Quantum Levitation

How does it fit into the derby? What is the gadget?

Re: pop the top muffin machine

I love the idea of this, and would totally vote/buy if it were just the gadget on the shirt, but I can't help being slightly creeped out by the guy eating the muffin tops. He reminds me a little bit of the clown from "IT"... I think it's the hair. Sorry Walmazan

Amazing! But the cat looks so satisfied with its task... I thought cats didn't like being wet?!

Re: Magic Meal

Because sometimes, you just can't stand to eat another vegetable...

I need this for my boyfriend!!

Re: with a... HERRING!

I would totally buy this without the tree pattern in the background.

Re: pop the top muffin machine

Of course this is totally cute,
but they actually just sell the tops of muffins :3 Just saying!

Re: Professor Flufflebottom's Cat Stache Trimmer

The fact that there is a hello-kitty one makes me want one <3

Re: pop the top muffin machine

"Gadget to enhance everyday life"

My design is a critique to modern society and how people are less interactive and personal with each other while using all these gadgets that “help” them socialize. I am a victim as well in this whole networking mess. I’ve found that, lately, I prefer being by myself than socializing in person with other people. The design aims to remind me and others that we need to go back to the basics in some areas and be less dependent on modern “commodities”.

Re: with a... HERRING!

If this doesn't come in the top three I will CRY.

Re: The Wife

I find this highly offensive... As many wives and mothers would nowdays. Considering I have a husband who does the cooking, cleaning, and anything else in the house while I work because he cant. This isnt the 1600's where women were still demeaned to this.
