Hospital patients [and prisoners, as well] need bathing and to speed up this process, may we suggest the Human Car Wash? The HCW eliminates slipping and falling because the washees are strapped into a hanging harness and merely need to stand or dangle in a fixed position while the conveyor belt moves them from station to station. First the wetting station, then the soapy spray station, next the rinsing station and at the end, no towels are needed because there’s a blow drying station!
Developed in 1969 during the cold war, the inventor suggests the Human Car Wash can be built into a mobile trailer “to cope with the mass bathing requirements after an atomic bomb”.
Yeah, there's a few things
that might be said about violations of personal dignity and the like,
but with a contraption like this, it may cut down on rapes in the
prison shower.
All said and done, I'd guess that these inventors marvels are not really the most absurd inventions of all time.

The Courage Campaign pushes for marriage equality. Having now been legally wed for a couple of years now, I fully support the initiatives elsewhere. On
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009- less than a week away- there will be
critical votes on on LGBT equality in three states: Washington State,
Maine, and Michigan. With so much attention devoted to other issues in
the political realm, bloggers have banded together to ensure we don't
forget the ones with a firm deadline next week.
For that
reason, Courage Campaign staff have put together a summary of who,
what, and how about these three campaigns. If you haven't heard of
these campaigns, and/or haven't done anything yet to support them,
please consider helping out. If you are a blogger please feel free tograb this content whole cloth and use it for your blog posts.
