This is a list of 10 totally stupid ideas, thought by people just like you and me, but with the only difference that with hard work (or not) have turned out to be excellent business and turned their owners in millionaires.

1. Lucky Wishbones Co.

   Everybody likes playing with wishbones after eating some good chicken, but producing large productions of plastic wishbones and selling them online seems just stupid. Not for this guys, who thought that there shouldn't be more fights during Thanksgiving to break the wishbone, so they started back in 2004 this business so that everybody can break them (vegetarians too!). 

2. PickyDomains

   Tired of looking cool names for your web site? If this is your case you don't have to spend ours doing it, just pay other guys to do it for you. It is the extreme case of laziness but incredibly it turned out a successful business. 

3. Designer Diaper Bags

   Being a mother doesn't mean you have to be out fashioned, that's what Christina Leigh thought a couple of years ago and she decided that diaper bags are the new trend. Since then her company haven't stopped selling cool diaper bags all across America.

4. PositivesDating

   Just another site which promises to find the love of your life online, but why is this site so popular? The difference is that to be part of it you've got to got AIDS. It's a good idea, but it amazes how profitable it is. 

5. Fitdeck

   Back in University a group of students spend lots of time playing a card game. Was it Poker? No, the answer is Fitdeck. The game consisted of picking up special cards which have different exercises that the one who pick them must do. This idea was transformed into business by a soldier recently with the objective of making people more athletic. Incredible. 

6. Antenaballs

   The responsible of the fact that thousands of Americans have large plastic heads in the top of their radio antennas are a group of students who thought it was really cool, and it is. 

7. LaserMonks

   This business was blessed, really, because now monks apart from praying god are offering ink toner for your printers. It's not weird this company's success, after all, they've got God in their side. 

8. Doogles

   Making sunglasses for your dog is weird, but selling them in Internet, and make a fortune with it is even more. These guys thought it was an excellent idea and money is talking. Furthermore, they are expanding their business making outdoor gear and jewelry for our four legged friends. 

9. Santa Mail

   Every year millions of kids around the world write a letter to Santa asking for presents, it is a perfect opportunity to make a profit out of it. The guys of Santa Mail were bright enough to create a postal code that makes them seem to be in the North pole so kids send there letters directly to Santa Claus. No kid would miss the chance of sending their petitions right to Santa's place. 

10. Million Dollar Page

    These case was one of the most covered by the media. Some years ago a student didn't have enough money to afford college so he came up with the idea of having a web page exclusively with ads. He bought a domain and divided the page in a million pixels and sell them in a hundred package costing each pixel just one dollar. The rest of the story is history.
