30 Rotten Inventions

From Morbidly-Cute Corpse Art to Decomposing Tables

— October 21, 2009 — Unique
There are a lot of rotten inventions out there from actual ‘garbage’ designs to decomposing birdtography, but I have only stumbled upon one or two genuinely decomposing designs. More than a couple have made it onto TrendHunter.com, and so I’ve decided to compile a cluster of rotten inventions for your reading pleasure. I’m positive it will get you in the Halloween spirit faster than your can say 'Halloween.'
