Last week, U.S. News and World Report put together a fun list of the worst ideas that made tons of money, noting that it is sometimes better to be lucky than smart.
Among the awfully lucrative ideas:
Selling real estate on the moon.
Pet rocks.
Tumbleweed farms.
Fake wishbones.

Garbage Pail Kids is also on the list. They may have been gross, but I loved ‘em! I had the entire set.

The “Head Wizard Massager” definitely belongs on this list. This device and different variations of it can be bought online.

Is this all it takes to become a writer for the DDN? Take someone else’s article, summarize it in six sentences and throw it on the web? Way to get the scoop Jill. Where do I send in my resume to the DDN?.

Blogging is not the same medium as reporting. Many items’ sole intent is to get you back to the original item; hence the link. This is done so you don’t have to scour the Web for other interesting, topical articles.

Mood rings were not a bad idea. However, Chia pets definately were bad.
