     Ivan Fletcher loves crazy inventions. He writes a weekly magazine column (專欄) called Unbelievable
Inventions.
     "One of my favorite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a glue, but it's butter. You spread it on
the bread without using a knife," he says. "Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these
special shoes on your dog or cat. As the animal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. Very
useful!" A lot of these inventions come from Japan-the home of the crazy invention.
     Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. "The other day I found an invention called a
Cat Seat Saver," he says. "The Cat Saver looks exactly like a sleeping cat-but it isn't real. You put it on your
seat if you have to go to the rest room. No one will sit in your seat because they think there's a sleeping cat
on it. Pretty cool!"
     However, does anyone buy these things? Yes. Lucy Wade from the shopping website crazygadgets.com
says that their customers are young, professional people.
     "They buy these small things mostly for fun," she says. "They are usually looking for a present for a
friend's birthday or a silly girl for someone they work with."
     If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy at lucyw@crazygagets.com.
     Fish Radio
     This useful radio is completely waterproof, so you can listen to it in the shower. Simply stick on the
bathroom wall and sing along to your favorite songs as you shower!
     Watch Your Back Mirror
     Don't get caught surfing the Internet or sending e-mails to your friends. Stick this mirror to your computer
screen and you'll be able to see when the boss is coming!
