3. Do you fall asleep on your keyboard? This pillow magically inflates, plays soothing music and sounds an alarm after ten minutes. What is it called? (You'll groan.) iSleep.
4. What would you call a Roomba for your swimming pool? It's solar-powered! Solar-Breeze Robot.

7. This one must be from the planet Golgafrincham. It's a toothbrush holder that keeps your toothbrush clean (you put the business end into the cup.) Toothbrush Santizer.
8. We don't usually stoop to this kind of humour, but the idea of underwear that contains a deodorising filter to stop smells from expelled intestinal gas was just irresistible. What's it called? Flatulence Filtering Brief.
