invention

Having three kids, Five and younger, I know that sometimes you have to make food "fun", if you want it be eaten. But this seems like a bit of a stretch. And it also seems there would be nefarious uses for this "technology". Anybody remember Lorena Bobbit?

Doing something that sounds so ridiculous wouldn't even have crossed my mind. And this is coming from a guy who wants Sonic to make a "Pulled Pork BBQ Limeade" drink. But something like this, glasses for your chickens, is just too far.

If you've got $3,600 to spare and don't mind folks gawking at you from behind the wheel, it might be time to invest in a "YikeBike." Conceived as a faster and lighter alternative to the Segway, the YikeBike is a foldable electric bicycle that was ranked by Time Magazine as one of the best inventions of 2009. It looks kind of like a unicycle with a training wheel, but its inventors say it could change the way we get around. What do you think — wacky invention or wave of the future? CNN's full video story on the YikeBike is after the jump.
