10 Crazy Inventions You Won't Believe Actually Got Made

6. Goldfish Walker

It's often said that the pet a person chooses is a good reflection of that person's personality - aggressive men buy violent dogs bred for fighting, while old ladies who struggle to get out of the house often prefer the ease of living with cats. Goldfish owners are perhaps more difficult to pin down, but Mick Madden - the inventor of the goldfish walker - is vocal in his passionate support for the right of his gilled friends to get out and about and see some of the world before their admittedly short lives come to an end. The goldfish walker does exactly what it says on the tin, allowing Mick's trusty companion to accompany him wherever he goes (although stairs might pose a problem). According to Mick his fish "love" his invention, although how they communicated their approval to him is anyone's guess.
