### May 8 On May 8th, some really stupid stuff was invented: * The selfie stick --- Seriously, who came up with this? Sure, you can take pictures of yourself, but why do you need a stick to do it? Plus, when you see someone using one, it just looks ridiculous. * Talking shampoo bottles --- What is the point in having a shampoo bottle that talks? Do we really need instructions on how to wash our hair? * Flappy Bird --- A game that makes you tap the screen as fast as possible and die every time? Not exactly something I would call fun. * Squatty Potty --- Who needs a device to help them go number two in style? This should have stayed an idea and never went into production. * Tin Foil Hats --- So, wearing a tin foil hat is supposed to protect us from alien invasion? Okay then... * Edible spoons --- No one wants their spoon to taste like a salad. Gross. What a bunch of weird and unnecessary inventions. But don't worry, if you ever need help maintaining your sanity in life, there's always me, Mr. 27!
