Have you ever dreamed of making an incredible discovery?

Whether that's curing cancer or finding a way to end world hunger,

Sadly, for the inventors on this list, their weird and wonderful creations

turned against them in the grisliest way as possible.

fantasy of flight. However, it didn't exactly go to plan. After leaping from the mosque roof and

flapping frantically, Birdboy bombed beak first into the ground.
