OMG, This is hilarious!(spelling?) I think that tissue disspenser and the crosswalk are pretty funny =D. Japanese people ARE AWESOME. 1. They've got good reliable cars, 2. They've got manga, anime, and those awsome anime faces! 3 They've got useless things that I'd SO WANNA GET.

Okay. These all came from a book called The Big Bento Box of Unuseless Japanese Inventions. These "chindogu" (odd or distorted tool) are invented pretty much as silly jokes. According to the book:

The successful Chindoguist approaches his subject in much the same way that a serious inventor would: seraching for an aspect of life that could somehow be rendered more convenient and concocting a method for making it so. Like the inventor, h discard those notions that clearly miss the mark, but unlike the inventor, he also abandons those ideas that will obviously work. The Chindoguist latches onto and builds a prototype of the best idea he can come up with that looks good at the onset but on closer examination isn't. Having tested and verified that it indeed wasn't worth the effort, the creator of the Chindogu will then congratulate himself on having successfully produced an almost useful implement.

And there you have it.

[insert noun here] of IMPENDING DOOM!!!
