### June 26 Oh man, don't even get me started on the stupid things that were invented on June 26. I mean, really, who thought these things were a good idea? First off, we have the Pogo Stick. Yes, you heard that right. The bouncing apparatus that is designed to launch unsuspecting children (and some adults) into the air with reckless abandon. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that? Broken arms and legs, sprained ankles, concussions...all in a day's work for the Pogo Stick. And let's not forget about the "Pet Rock". Yes, someone actually had the brilliant idea to package up a rock and sell it as a pet. I mean, come on, people. Are we really that desperate for companionship? I think not. And don't even get me started on the fact that people actually paid money for this useless piece of granite. But wait, there's more! June 26 also gave birth to the infamous "Silly String". You know, that colorful, stringy substance that people spray all over the place for no apparent reason? It's like a can of spray-on stupidity. I mean, sure, it's fun for about two seconds, and then you're left with a sticky mess that you have to spend hours cleaning up. No thank you. And last but certainly not least, we have the "Snuggie". Yes, that ridiculous blanket with arms that makes you look like a giant, walking burrito. I mean, why bother with a regular blanket when you can have one that completely engulfs your body and leaves your hands free to do...absolutely nothing? And let's not forget that it also makes you look like a complete idiot. So there you have it, folks. The stupidest things that were ever invented on June 26. Let's hope that future inventors can come up with something a little more useful...or at least a little less ridiculous.
