15+ Strange Ideas That Might Actually Be Kind Of Genius

I'm not sure how well it will work but it's hard to deny that attaching a hair dryer to to this PVC piping was a pretty inventive idea.

It's unclear why somebody left this behind or whether they event meant to leave it here, but it takes some talent to make such a striking likeness.

I'll be really curious if it turns out this isn't the only one they've left lying around.

According to the uploader what we're seeing here is his reaction to a neighbor telling him his creation is illegal.

As we can see, he didn't exactly let that deter him.

At least, it seems that it doesn't in Birmingham as this aquatic roundabout is here to keep canal boats on course to get where they're going in an orderly fashion.

Using some zip ties and some old desert camouflage pants, this person was able to make a pouch for one of their crutches that they use to hold their cell phone or a beer.

Obviously, that depends on the situation they're in.

Because anyone can suggest wiring this light-up mirror to a plug-in converter so it doesn't use so many batteries, but only a select few can make that idea work as well as this.

It may be a little tough to identify in this position but they ended up using the clip-on tie that they use for work as a security guard.

And since they went with a clip-on so that anyone they're throwing out of a building can't use their tie as leverage, it turned out to be a smart investment for a couple of reasons.

That said, I can only hope that this fork was already kind of bent when they started because it'll probably never be the same again.

After all, the right way to keep something in place depends a lot on what what it's failing to do.

In this case, this sink kept drooping away from the counter so the jack was the right choice.

As we can see, their little problem was nothing that a peeled beer can couldn't fix.

It's almost good enough to make me not want to put them in pun jail for describing this as "engine-newity."

Almost.

If you're not sure what I'm referring to, the mirrors in this hotel's bathrooms are apparently heated so they don't fog up when someone takes a shower.

For instance, a dentist thought of putting this ball pit in their office for the kids to enjoy while they're waiting.

However, they seemed to do this at a time when we're immensely concerned about who else touched the things we come into contact with. So I doubt it sees much use nowadays.

Apparently, the uploader balanced a powerful Christmas light on the side of their bunk bed by dangling from the handle of a suitcase.

Bravo.

Basically, it's a glow in the dark light switch that prevents us from having to fumble in the dark and potentially knock over the lamp we're trying to use.

Because while it's apparently not unheard of for these places to label the button that mutes the ads this screen displays, a lot more of them simply force you to guess.

Not today, though.

After all, if people are going to try and measure things with pencils anyway, they might as well do so with some precision.

And really, who wouldn't be proud of bringing an idea like this to life? Especially when all you need to power it is sunlight.

I especially love the realization that the paddles are made of cut-up bucket.

As we can see here, that ring was the perfect way to let that securing strap do the same job it had before.

And now they know what to do if the other bottle faces a similar break.

I just hope they didn't take them from any ongoing situation that passers-by would need to be aware of.

I'm not exactly keen to buy anything from someone who was indirectly responsible for a pothole shredding my car.

That's because we're not looking at a person at all, but rather a statue at the Orlando Airport depicting a weary traveler.

It's pretty lifelike, isn't it?
