But then I recall some horrifying karaoke nights and realize that only an individual with a wicked taste for the absurd could&#8217;ve wrought such a horror.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s cancer worse, and a lot more. Sure, there&#8217;s talk that he may be a complete loon who&#8217;s just spouting lies and barely invented anything, but who cares? The man&#8217;s amusing on video.
