### May 27 Oh boy, where do I even begin? May 27 seems to be the day for inventors with really questionable ideas. Let's start with the Pet Rock. Yes, you heard that right. On May 27, someone thought it would be a great idea to package and sell rocks as pets. And people actually bought them! I mean, who needs a living, breathing companion when you can have a rock that just sits there? But wait, it gets even better (or worse, depending on how you look at it). May 27 is also the day that someone invented the Baby Cage. Yup, you read that right. It's a literal cage for babies to be suspended outside of high-rise apartment windows. Because apparently taking care of your child inside your home like a normal person was too mainstream. And if you thought that was bad, May 27 also gave us the Motorized Ice Cream Cone. That's right, instead of using your own two hands to rotate an ice cream cone, this invention does it for you. Because apparently exerting any energy in the pursuit of frozen treats is just too much effort. Lastly, on May 27, some genius thought it would be a good idea to combine a hairbrush and a radio into one device. I mean, who doesn't want to listen to static while trying to detangle their hair? So there you have it, folks. A bunch of ridiculous inventions that were all created on May 27. What will they think of next?
