The Art of Uselessness by Sardonicus Tweed

April 28th, 2009 6:48 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Design and manufacture a Chindogu invention, that is, an invention that seems like something you would want, but is actually laughably useless and ridiculous.

Ah, Brick (©®™, pat. pend.).
Brick is multi-functional, user-friendly, modular,
and best of all, quite heavy*. One feature of Brick that
users might wish to avoid constant use of, however,
is the macroabrasize callous/corn/skin remover.

However, there is no current Brick utility that can disable this incredibly useful and completely safe** feature. As a workaround, I constructed BrickStrap! for Brick(©®™, pat. pend.). BrickStrap! for Brick is a rugged, durable carrying device that is compatible with all standard Brick units***.

*Based on consumer trials.
**Statements not evaluated by the FDA
***Individual results may vary
Do not use Brick, BrickStrap! for Brick, or any other related components if you are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. Improper handling of Brick and related products has been linked to concussion, loss of consciousness, and in rare cases, death. Consult a doctor to see if Brick is right for you.

You've been saving up some cracking praxis!

Yay.

Why, thank you.

Cracking indeed, they broke my bank.
