Spoiler: 

I particularly can't believe the cigarette holder that lets the smoker smoke 20 at once. Not to mention the "baby cage" which is essentially a wire basket you hang on a window, and put your baby in, thus dangling your beloved offspring quite a way above a potentially busy street.

Especially liked the comment on number 16.

Robot equipped with fast-draw invention shoots it out with live gunner.

It's always easy to question the wisdom of giving a robot a gun, but also making him quick on the draw is just irresponsible
