Well, this is certainly bizarre ... the guy claims he prototyped it during his lunch hour, and you can have it for only ... uh ... $300,000 (why didn't I think of that? Duh.) Top Secret Piano-Bass Invention |

It's funny that the auction doesn't say WHAT the invention is supposed to do...

I've always wanted to give someone 300,000 for something that only has one picture and a no description of what it actually does. Quote: |
The overall design is 100% different, looking more practical and appealing and again easier to use
