And you thought Dragons’ Den ideas were bad?

So you’ve been sitting there watching Dragons’ Den on RTE on Thursday evening, thinking some of the people / ideas are a bit “out there” ? And no, I’m not thinking of the Paddy Olympics specifically.

You ain’t seen nothing yet though. Hello Patently Silly, a site which brings us some of the most bizarre patent applications known to man.

Take this one for example. It’s Underpants for Men. The full patent application goes into great detail on this revolutionary underwear.

Men’s underpants comprising: an underpants body having penis and scrotum outlet ports so as to pull out a user’s penis and scrotum respectively; a penis receiving part having a tube shape of which both ends are open so that one end of the penis receiving part is coupled with the penis outlet port wherein the penis protrudes out of the underpants body through the penis outlet port so as to be received in the penis receiving part; and a scrotum receiving part of which one end is coupled with the scrotum outlet port so that the scrotum protruding out of the underpants body through the scrotum outlet port is received in the scrotum receiving part and a second end of the scrotum receiving part is open.

You couldn’t make it up and might just lose an hour or two shaking your head reading through the site. Or maybe, just maybe, there is a market for these jocks and the reduction in ball adjustment and general penis fondling that would result from wearing them. Can’t see it myself though.
