The interwebs have been abuzz this week with the launch of Google's new Patent Search service, which allows anyone to easily sift the records of the US Patent Office, dating all the way back to the 1700s. (So what if you could already do this at the Patent Office's own site? Now it's all Google-y!) Naturally, it took less than a day for someone to do something dirty with it and our friends at Homemade Sex Toys have already furnished their list of the best sexual device patents. We're not sure if any of these inventions will ever (or should ever) make it to the market—although the "cunnilingus assistant" might have its uses—but whatever you think of the crazy people who came up with stuff, remember ... they were only trying to help.
