### March 9 It's March 9th, and it's seemingly the day of stupid inventions. First, someone invented the [potato gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_cannon "Potato Gun"), a device that shoots potatoes at high speeds! Then, some genius figured out that it would be a great idea to make **explosive* potato guns! What kind of mad genius creates such a thing? Then, somebody figured out that it would be a great idea to make a [roller coaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_coaster "Roller Coaster") **out of Legos**. Let me tell you, Lego roller coasters are thrilling, but not in the way you might expect. They're terrifyingly loud and shake you up until all your pieces go flying! It's like being inside a blender for an hour. But wait, there's more! Because on this very special day, somebody actually thought it was a good idea to make a *phone charger out of** Fruit Roll-ups! That's right, you heard me correctly - roll-up snacks are being used to power our phones! Could this possibly be the most ridiculous invention ever or what?! Well, I guess we can add March 9th to the list of days when someone invented something really dumb. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm getting ready to go test out a new contraption, a combination mop and vacuum cleaner!
