### March 3 March 3rd is a day for silly inventions! There are *so many* ridiculous things that were invented on this day - ranging from inventions that are pretty much just modern-day novelty items, to ones with the potential to drive technological advancement. Take, for example, the dreaded electric nose-hair trimmer, invented on this day in 1990. I mean, why not just use a pair of scissors?! It’s one of those inventions that just makes you shake your head. Then there’s the "Duel Core Processor," invented in 2007. Sure, it’s great for multitasking and optimizing games, but its name makes it sound like something you'd use to settle an argument. But then on the other hand, there’s the “Photographic Printing Frame” from 2003 – a device that allows you to print digital photos out on the same paper frames you’d find at a store. Genius! And let's not forget about the invention of the first “Smart Vacuum Cleaner” in 2002! Finally, a vacuum cleaner that actually *understands* where dirt and dust hides. So you can see, March 3rd has spawned some extremely helpful and clever inventions, as well as some completely inexplicable ones. All we can do is sit back and watch what inventions come out of this day each year!
