There are definitely some weird patents out there for really strange things.  For example, have you heard of the cordless jump rope?  This could also be called a ropeless jump rope.  Interesting, no?  Or how about a Tomato Raisin?  Yep, it's what you think.  A combination of a tomato and a raisin.  (I'm a little afraid of that one!)  If you are itching for more, here's a website you might want to check out:

neat!
Did u know that there actually IS a patent for a carburetor for a car that gave cars about 200mpg, designed by a Canadian man?
I saw it on a myth busting show about urban legends. They verified and showed the patent and the information regarding it.
Those are weird! Thanks for posting this.

If the jump rope is cordless what do you jump over? Some things are better left alone. Thanks for your comment on my aunts and uncles.

There's already a patent for the cordless jumprope? DARN, there goes another bright idea !

I love the doggie poop freezing tool. The pet leash umbrella is genius . . . why haven't I seen one in the stores?
Roger C. Jun 26, 2008, 10:44pm EDT
The bird suit was actually granted a patent. Astounding!

I am looking right now! I have heard of the cordless jumprope- on as seen on tv! Tomato raisin sounds gross. I didn't know you could patent hybrids like that.
Chelsea R. Jun 27, 2008, 2:07pm EDT

Cortney R. Jun 29, 2008, 6:44pm EDT
Those are some seriously weird things. I can't believe there is a patent for a cordless jump rope, but whatever. I will have to check out that website in a few minutes.
