10 Crazy Inventions You Won't Believe Actually Got Made

9. Water Gun Umbrella

Getting caught in the rain is never much fun - there are few sights more miserable than that of a person stood gloomily underneath an umbrella waiting for the rain to stop so they can smile once again. Inventor Alex Woolley has come up with what is quite possibly the most genius answer to your precipitation blues - he's created the water gun umbrella which conveniently channels falling rainwater down through the stem and into the handle-gun, primed and ready to fire. While it might be easy to mistake this concept for something aimed squarely at children, the executive black styling makes it clear that this is an adult only invention to be used with the utmost responsibility. Certainly not for robbing banks.
