BEfore people start commenting I'd like to call attention to the fact this is just a thread designed to grab comments and flee, and I don't believe threads like this really belong on the Escapist.

uh, there are two things wrong with your line of thinking.

one: it is in the off topic discussion.

two: i actually could care less about a grab & go, i think if i get an award like that, i would probably ask the mods to remove it so i could actually earn it. i truly want to see what the most useless thing on earth is, because i saw something i think is so stupid, a pants-on-head retarded monkey probably came up with it.

Wow, what an amazing talent you have for being annoyed at nothing.
I don't believe people who comment on other people's topics but add nothing of value to the thread don't belong on the Escapist, so begone!
Back on topic, the spork!

The Disney channel!

Not true!Look at some of the girls it's brought into the light!Sure,they're crappy actresses,but they're pretty,and that's all that matters!

And now,if you'll excuse me,I'm off to boil my head for saying that

 

[Xero Scythe]

Bugs. They only feed other creatures.

well... isn't that sorta important? without bugs, sooner or later the deficiency in the food chain would kill us.

Babies.
Seriously, just think about it for a second: When was the last time a baby did anything for you?

well, one time, i was down at a shooting range with my friends, and suddenly some dipshit who did not belong on the range shot uprange of me. a baby barreled full tilt into my legs and saved me from the bullet about to make a neat little unareodymanic hole in my head. so...

yeah.

I'd say the home-made lightsaber. Two guys filled up lighting tubes with something flammable, don't know what, LIT IT, then tried to fight with them. Needless to say, they were soon at the nearest hospital. At least that's what I read in England.

Ok, maybe just ants and ticks and leeches. Who needs those? Oh and spiders.

How would the banana guard work, not all bananas are the same size...

I'd go for the number 9 on a microwave. You could just press 8 since 1 second makes no difference, and if you want 90 seconds you could type out 1:30 for the same effect.

They don't shut up, though.
And they're ugly and they smell awful.

so do dead bodies! minus the shut up part. and if you cut out their voice box they'll shut up.

Keane? They're basically Coldplay with dumber lyrics and less interesting music.

A baby saved my ass back in 'Nam, son. Charlie had us pinned down from left to right, and evac. was a good 10 minutes away. They took out Jason, and then David, and then... [small]*Rambles on*[/small]

I'd say the DVD rewinder gets my vote. I mean really, was it designed by a kindergartner!?

The braille on the keypads of drive-thru ATMs. Yeah, I know they're just the same as normal ATMs, but still...
