Among the notable offerings at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, Switzerland, in April were beer-flavored jelly (non-alcoholic) to spread on biscuits, and artificial, removable nose hair (swabs of pipe cleaner for the nostrils to block pollen and dust). ("Most people do not have enough nose hair," inventor Gensheng Sun told The Associated Press.) Italian engineer Enrico Berruti said it was his personal laziness that led him to develop a bed that makes itself, with automatic sheet-shaking and straightening. Diane Cheong Lee Mei of China swore that her novel computer software employed algorithms sophisticated enough to enable the user to detect the gender of any e-mail writer.

"Necessity is the mother of invention". We human beings have completed many great inventions, such as telephone, computer, and airplane. These inventions were not only brought a better life for people but broke the limitation of time and space.

But how about beer flavored jelly? How dose it tastes like ? Maybe some day we will have vomitive or other special flavor. Do you need artificial, removable nose hair to block pollen and dust from your nose? It sounds really funny and weird. We heard that people go to plant their hair for better looking, but never thought that we also can plant our nose hair, ha! We must aware of its length, or else....

An computer which can detect the gender of any e-mail writer? Isn't it funny? It is really sophisticated enough! But why we need this kind of computer? To know the secret of genders? The other day I saw an interesting invention by a Japanese group.There was a kind of equipment which shapes like a calculating machine. You can use it to detect whether the people is really laugh or smile sincerely or not. Maybe it seemed useless, but pretty funny. How these people came up with these ideas?

As a matter of fact, we all can become great inventors if we are willing to try.
See you next time on International Exhibition of Inventions!! Good luck!!
