Young inventors featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show include a nine-year-old from Iowa who invented a device to hold up and replace the toilet seat called the “Privy Prop” and eight year old twins from Ohio who invented wedgie-proof Velcro tear-away underwear called “Rip Away 1000.” Its innovations like these that make America great.

As a token of her appreciation, DeGeneres handed out Dell notebook computers to each of the four. (siouxcityjournal)
