I stumbled across this fascinating blog while I was looking for resources for my thesis. It contains many old articles from a magazine called Modern Mechanix.
These articles are of strange, antiquated inventions that never did quite make it to year 2008 for reasons you'll understand once you have a look at them.
One of the strangest (and most guaranteed to make RSPCA scream) inventions I've seen is this one.
Its ironic that it is titled "dog rides comfortably in sack on running board".
Imagine being shoved into a sack hanging off the side of a moving car with only your head sticking out. Comfortable is not how I would describe it.
I liked this article about chimneys though.
They were designed to make smoke come out in rings! Hehee.. it made me think of hobbits and the Shire from the Lord of the Rings. How cool is that?! :D
I am such a sucker for interesting architecture.
