Patently Absurd by Christopher Cooper
'Patently Absurd' explores the funnier side of our inventive spirit by featuring actual patented products that have to be seen to be believed. The book features such inventions as 'an animal powered drive,' where an animal is used to move a belt and power a vehicle and a bird diaper to keep those pet birds clean.
