Inside the Museum of Nonsense

Posted by samzenpus on from the one-man's-junk dept.

coondoggie writes "Some call it the museum of failed inventions and others might just call it the stupidity museum, either way it is officially known as the Museum of Nonsense and it opened in Austria this month. It is decidedly low-tech though it does contain some high-tech ideas like a truly interesting way to anonymize identity (a piece of black card on a stick so people can't see your eyes) and a device that promises to cut down on those huge cell-phone bills (think tin cans and a string)."

      Whenever there's a logical "stumper" to their story, they can just claim Wink Wink, Kabling! as the work-around and there's nothing you can say back.

      I wash JavaScript had such a work-around instead of "object is not an object" errors. Divide by Zero error? No problem: Wink Wink Kabling!

    Who knew the Museum of Nonsense was a real place. I expected this to be a story about Congress.
