Just now there is a thread about an invention that you could easily give up. I have a question.

Tell me an invention (or more than one if you like) that never should have come to light.

Here are a few

Motorcycles (friend of a friend had an accident recently)
Cigarettes (probably killed more people than tornadoes and hurricanes combined)
Switchblade knives

cigarettes are the worst. How many people have they killed.

Cigarettes - need I say more

Chewing tobacco - My BIL lost his tongue and lower jaw due to chewing this c--p

Switchblades - they were only made to use as weapons

Oil Rigs - They were a disaster meant to happen

Houses on Stilts - Also a disaster meant to happen

Brass Knuckles - again a weapon

Aspestos

Street cleaners - do they really clean or just move it around?
