Easter Bunny TracksMarch 26, 2010

Bunny TracksWith the annual visit of the Easter Bunny next weekend, this contraption allows you to leave some rabbit tracks to show the route he took to hide all of those Easter Eggs.  He will of course leave his own tracks, but just in case they are washed away in the rain, this device allows you to recreate them…  Flour is dispensed in the shape of bunny paw prints, and possibly the odd chocolate-coated raisin too!  US2009025590 Track Laying Apparatus for Laying Easter Bunny Tracks (Hebda).

Clip Clop BusMarch 25, 2010

Horse BusThis invention is either a rather impressive disguise for a horse, or a new means of transportation.  If you look closely, Black Beauty is hiding in amongst the passengers.  To replace stinky buses, that are doing the environment no favours, this inventor has devised a bus powered by a horse, clip-clopping on an endless conveyor belt.  The driver must have a stash of carrots and Polos!  Perhaps a trailer on the back could collect the manure.  Not entirely sure this bus will smell much better!  GB2060081 Animal Powered Drive Means (Von Der Heyde).

Back Seat BattlesMarch 20, 2010

Road TripTaking the family to visit Grandma, or on a seaside road trip need never be the same again!  You won’t have been on the road long before a battle breaks out, usually over who scoffed the last lemon sherbert.  Well this barrier might just save the day, and stop little brother from clobbering big sister on route!  US6260903 Portable Automobile Partition (Von Der Heyde).
