Chindogu


Apparently, I read, the Japanese make so many weird inventions they even have a word for them, which is chindogu or 'queer tools'. These include mops to attach to a cat's feet which polish the floor as the cats walk around, and more recently, the design of a skirt which turns into a vending machine to disguise the potential victim of criminal activity. This invention which made the TV news is not totally convincing as a vending machine, being made of soft material with a photograph of a vending machine on the front.
