### February 24 Ah... February 24, the day of inventions. We’d all like to think that things invented on this day are going to change the world, or make our lives easier, but alas it’s not always the case! Let’s have a look at some of the supposedly “life-changing” inventions that were created this day: - **The Cucumber Peeler**: Who asked for this? There’s no way anyone is going through the trouble of using a special tool to peel a cucumber. A knife works just fine, thank you very much! - **The Self-Tying Shoelace**: This one is pretty ridiculous. Who’s got the time to wait for their shoes to tie themselves? Just tie them yourself, please. - **The Disposable Dinner Plate**: Seriously? What kind of environment-wrecking monster invented this? Someone who doesn’t believe in washing dishes, obviously. February 24 might be remembered as a day of invention, but truth be told, it was mostly a day of ridiculousness.
