Define useless.

Art while not useful...is not useless as it provides a venue of self expression. In it's creation it finds use.

I think Vista has a home here

Crotchless panties too....ya gots to be pretty lazy...

Futons....hey yer still sleepin on a couch....besides a real couch tends to be more comfy to snooze on.

High heel style steel toed shoes (believe it or not they do make them open backs and all. Our secretary at work wears em. I guess it's better to get yer ankle broke than yer toes )

Plastic ramps for vehicle servicing.

Cheaply made hand tools

Expencive cordless tools with exceedingly short charge life and long charge times.

Cheapy welders from Mart and other discount tool suppliers.

Cheapy musical instruments and accessories

All major search browsers and most of the sites they lead you to.:d oh:
Definitly the winner as the most usless P.O.S. Sadly I've yet to land an effective alternative....so sick of wasting hours waiding through $#i+ trying to find what I'm lookin for! And who's the Fkr that came up with the idea of inserting what you typed into every friggin ____________ resulting in a few thousand results that have absolutely nothing to do with what you're searching for.

This is fun... type in obscenities....it yields results which contain things like for instance....you type "our heads up our @ss" you get at least one result from an advertiser which contains "We have our heads up our @ss"

also good

There are those that say "Find_______ at Blah blah"
which yield the result of "find our heads up our @ss at blah blah"

and of course those that say "buy __________-at blah blah" which are chock full of opportunities for fun....It's kinda like madlibs only more fun.

I know this is supposed to be things which cost a lot of money but...(insert excuse here) Mostly though being financially challenged and of moderatly simple tastes....all things are expensive (excluding those that are truley free) and alot of things are useless.

There was the artist who just put an old urinal in an art gallery.

I just wonder if both artists (cloaca and this) are just taking the piss (literally?)

The Iraq war, I didn't think of that. It is estimated by some to have cost three trillion and be the second most expensive war in history for the USA.
Too, because of excellent medivac/MASH units and resources there are fewer casualties but lots of major injuries-50,000 of them all who will have to be paid some support pension?
if you take the cost of WW2 A bomb development out of WW2 it won't be long before Iraq is the most expensive, useless war in history. Though I guess with WW2 being arguably "useful" Iraq is the most useless war. But this is the water cooler no place for political arguments ?

Thanks, Moontanman, That's about the best complement I could get. it only took 2 years and about 40 diamond bits.
