Need a condom that sings Lambada in the dark?

By Elif Kaban

GENEVA (Reuters) – Ever needed an electronic pen that detects forged signatures or an umbrella that sings in the rain? How about a device for men to pull up their socks?

For the friend who has everything, perhaps an Italian designer jacket with a special pocket to carry a mobile phone, or condoms that sing Lambada in the dark?

These were among 1,000 weird and wonderful items that went on show Friday at Geneva’s annual invention exhibition, the inventors’ equivalent of the Olympics where famous past designs included the windsurfing board and inflatable armbands.
