Well, one was the Chevy Nova in South America...you see, "No va" in Spanish means "Doesn't go".

Another would be the Ford Edsel.

OMG...I forgot about them...The Spruce Goose. Largest airplane made entirely out of balsa wood. Flew for about a mile. I know there's more out there I just can't think of them. Bummer.

Guess no one got the point...bwahhahah. :grin:

How about:

Botox for backsides: Buttox.

Helicopter ejector seats.

Pretends- adult diapers for those who think they are in the bathroom.

The "Lil' Sharpshooter Dick Cheney Signature Point-N-Shoot Fun Gun".

Reasonable CEO salaries.

Extreme dentistry.

Carbonated Milk.

Dehydrated water.

Recycled food.

Qualifies as "World's Shortest Book". Or was that taken already by "Ethics Practiced by Politicians, Bankers and CEO's"?

No, I believe that honor was taken by "Wall Street Ethics".

Liver flavored ice cream (WebGizmo's brainstorm).

Largest airplane made entirely out of balsa wood.

Actually, if you even stood on balsa wood it would break.  It was really a process called "Duramold",

"The Duramold process is a plywood-like series of thin wood laminations, with grains laid perpendicular to each other. Workers permeating the laminations with plastic glue, then they shaped and heated the pieces until cured. The result is a material that many engineers agreed was both lighter and stronger than aluminum."

   The Spruce Goose was actually a marvel in its time.  Impractical, yes, but still ahead of its time.

dehydrated water, huh? when i was a senior in high school, i sold cans of dehydrated water to a few select freshmen until Mr. Coblentz asked me not to. about 20 cans were sold. i called it "H2O Mixture" and said they needed it for chemistry class.

Qualifies as "World's Shortest Book". Or was that taken already by "Ethics Practiced by Politicians, Bankers and CEO's"?

I think both copies were initially released on postage stamps.... however, since bankers, CEO's and politicians found several/most chapters to be inconsequential. both editions have been abridged and now come on a speck of dust.

Apparently bookstores have issues with keeping track of stocks... one New York bookstore apprehended a 'seemingly' dandruff laden politician and accused/had him charged with shoplifting multiple copies.

Another brand-x tome not selling so well is the "Stockbrokers & Mortgagers Customer Service Guide"  Apparently, I Fleecem's "Ultimate Pyramid/Ponzi Schemes" is outselling it 20,000 to 1.

Indeed. You should also have noted the learned Counsellors at Law: Dewey, Cheatham and Howe.

They authored Corpus Juris Ridiculous and Pediculosis pubis, and apparantly Madoff with billions.
