About the Author
Author Ted VanCleave is himself an inventor of the weird. His award-winning Web site, Totally Absurd Inventions, began in 1997 after he conducted patent research for his own wacky invention, Inflatable Greeting Cards. That research uncovered similarly fascinating inventions that he's shared with the more than two million people who have visited his Web site, which has been named USA Today's site of the week and attracted the attention of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He lives in San Diego, California.
