What is the worst idea anyone ever had?

*********************************************************

Dear Anonymous,

The worst idea ever, my lovely reader, is yours! It is horrible to assume that there is such a narrow variety of ridiculous ideas that they all fit on the same scale. To cure you, I refer you to the entertaining book entitled Forgotten Fads and Fabulous Flops: An Amazing Collection of Goofy Stuff That Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time. Some of the terrible ideas contained therein include smokeless cigarettes and chewable toothpaste. The author, Paul Kirchner, has made a bit of a career of writing about particularly bad ideas as well as those that somehow went horribly awry. And if you need further reading, you can check out Oops: Twenty Life Lessons from the Fiascoes That Shaped America, which includes a miscellaneous chapter that details one of the worst ice cream flavors of all time: equine sushi.
