Stupid Apps That No One Needs

You know what you need? An app that can measure how high you throw your phone in the air and lets you compete against players across the globe. Oh wait, you're saying that's a horrible idea and no one needs that? How about an app that tells you if it's dark outside? Or maybe you'd like an app that can help you simulate smoking a cigarette. 

So you're saying these are all terrible ideas? Well then, now you're ready to read the rest of this hilarious Thrillist list with some of the stupidest apps ever created.

Hi,

I'm from germany, and I did not hear that in our news so I searched the web for a german speaking version... and there seames to be none.

I tracked this info down to a british website of the questionable newspaper "The Sun":
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004092008,00.html

You can google the story in almost any language - except for german.
And everything you find bases on stories from UK.

is this a hoax made up by ALLAN HALL from The Sun? Or are german newspapers not interested in people eaten by spiders?

Hmm, I think I'm skeptical about this one, too - not to be one of those nitpicky types, but I'm fairly certain that tarantulas don't actually spin webs ... Nevertheless it does make for interesting Sunday morning reading =)

TOM's right. This story is a hoax. Germany has a famous tabloid. If this tabloid has not reported on that story, then it has been made up by the UK tabloid. Although BILD (the German tabloid) has been known to report hoaxes, too ...

And: geckos don't feast on rotten bodies.

Btw, has anybody noticed that the article says that "the spiders and termites managed to escape when the heating elements exploded and opened the lids to their tanks"?

Sounds like those animals were kept in different tanks and that the heating elements exploded all at the same time? Doesn't sound logically.

I have to call hoax too. Way too many things that don't make any sense. Giant webs draped all over him? To what purpose? What lizard would tear off flesh just to have it taken by a spider? And what spider would want dead flesh? No doubt. A fake story.

I don't know if this is a hoax or not, but this "story" is... three years old!!!
It was reported on february 27th, 2004. You'll have to do a search on the archives for this one.

No doubt, this is a hoax. I Live very close to dortmund, and i didnt hear anythung about that story. Like somebody wrote before, this seems to be a hoax originated by "the sun"...
