As part of our weekly series of ridiculous patents, I’ve come across quite an interesting one: The Intestinal Gas Collector. The patent claims to collect gas from your intestinal area to relieve gas pressure in your abdomen. Sounds scientific enough. But the method of actually removing gas involves jamming a rod, half a foot in length into your body’s most, errr, interesting orphace into the putrid depths of your intestine. It has a leak proof collection tube, gaskets to keep it inside you, and bladder at the end to allow one-way transfer of gases. Now, what to do with a bag full of your own gas . . . ? I’m sure there are exactly 5 things you can do with it, and I think this guy is patenting them.
