### February 18 **On February 18, the world was blessed with some of the dumbest inventions ever created. From the *glorious* Pet Rock to the fabulous pet shampoo/conditioner in one bottle, there's something for everyone to chuckle at. Let's not forget the 'ingenious' idea of taking a banana and calling it a 'banana split'. And don't get me started on alphabetized potato chips! Who would have thought that could go wrong? But even more absurd is the 'creative' invention of an extra-long straw to reach drinks at the bottom of tall glasses! The humanity!**
