Things that I do not believe anyone uses
rendit:
sashafrerejones:
1. Google Wave.
2. Wolfram Alpha.
3. The Club™.
4. Built-in AA battery testers.
5. All the napkins they pull out of a dispenser (except at pizza parlors).
Two-Face uses The Club™ in a little film called Batman Forver that you may have heard of.
We use Google Wave every day in the newsroom (no joke), but make a habit out of wasting napkins.
