Serendipity: 10 accidental inventions

This is a great article! Some of the ways these inventions came about are crazy! Potato chips created by a vengeful chef? You couldn’t dream up such explanations. This has lead me to wonder how on earth some of the most pointless inventions in the world came to exist. How about leaf blowers? They just move a mess from one place to another without actually solving the problem. Aerobic steppers? Can’t you just use a few bricks, or better still some existing purposeful steps?
