http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/03/500x_drn.jpg (http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/03/drn.png)This man says invented over 3,000 things including floppies and springy-shoes—frequently while diving underwater until the point of near-death. He basically thinks Thomas Edison's an uneducated wimp who quit at 1,093 inventions. Sounds ridiculous? Watch this:
Part of me wants to believe that Yoshiro "Dr. NakaMats" Nakamatsus' story is just a cleverly spun tale, that no man can be this brilliant and prolific of an inventor while still maintaining a sense of humor. But then I recall some horrifying karaoke nights and realize that only an individual with a wicked taste for the absurd could've wrought such a horror.
Aside from karaoke machines, NakaMats also claims to have invented floppy disks, a weird golf putter, compact disc players, digital watches, springy-shoes, hydrogen-powered engines, a crazy arm chair that which may or may not have made some man's cancer worse, and a lot more. Sure, there's talk that he may be a complete loon who's just spouting lies and barely invented anything, but who cares? The man's amusing on video.
