The most comical idea of the bunch was the HEMI-Shredder, an 'industrial strength' paper-eating machine disguised in the form of a plain office desk, conceived by Randy Fredner of Earlysville, VA. Atop its 6-foot long brushed metal tabletop is a feeding tray, large enough to fit full-size reams of paper, junk mail, CDs, credit card bills (and credit cards too!), which are then chewed up by cross-cutting blades, expelling the minced, confetti-like matter through a chute. For heavy-duty loads, the operator can floor the pedal which in-turn revs the burly engine. Fully loaded, the sole option on this machine is a desk-mounted pencil sharpener!
