Ideas That Were Far From Flawless

It takes real brainpower to create something new. You have to think of an idea and then go about executing that idea in a way that makes sense. Sometimes, it's all in how you make it work. These people all tried to make their ideas work, but for whatever reason, they just don't.

Some of these people had crappy ideas to start with. Some of them just couldn't follow through. Whatever the reason, the end results are pretty laughable.

A Car Or A Boat?
