What's Your Funniest, Wierdest, Or Stupidest Design?

Hmm i think i made a plane that could fly backwards however i deleted the save so I ain't have any photos

I tried to make a dual rotor jet thrust autogyro, using a couple of the free spinning docking washers from Infernal robotics. It could fly, slowly, but the rotors would only turn slowly.

SSTO rocket. After finally obtaining a successful launch and orbit I made a version with asparagus staging. I need to put some nosecones on and see if it will still work in 1.3

Then there's my mission to send two Kerbals on a round trip to Eve, making extensive use of ReStock 90 (especially the ThunderMaximus tanks I added to the pack), KSPX, and some Hooligan Labs airbags. I need to duplicate that with 1.3 but with the new aero and without Kethane it'll be a lot harder. Might be able to use similar design concepts but I'll probably have to do a lot more ship assembly in Kerbin orbit.

Peruse my Flickr KSP screenshot collection for more. Jeb's Nightmare is an early one. I just kept adding different stuff. It has nose cones because I thought they did something back then. I should try it in 1.3.

I've been told before that my designs are weird,  not so much in an "awesome, can't beleive that works" kind of way, more an "OMG can't you just build something normal"  type of thing.

Someone said "you come up with the strangest wing designs" to this thing - 

It's a mid-tech oxidizer free light cargo plane,  I just kept sticking bits on until CoL was in the right place with respect to dry mass, wet mass, payload mass, but whatever.   Similar lateral thinking went into this early career mode 30 part tourist SSTO -

Spoiler

 

Later in the same career game, I needed to build a space station.  The problem is, I was playing a "no rockets" challenge, and I was still early in the tech tree.
I left Lizline and Maltrop in orbit with the lab module.   Jeb flew the tractor unit back to the space centre as he was due a level up 

Spoiler

 

Back to sandbox,   I made a two stage spaceplane shuttle.   I can't remember the particulars, but i think it runs on flax seeds  and walnuts.

A few months ago, there was a discussion on the relative merits of mk2 vs mk1 fuselages.   Mk2 is draggy,  but you'd never get 18 kerbals to orbit on a single RAPIER no?

To my surprise, this didn't snap in half.    

It got to space....

....without having any oxidizer onboard

.... and had over 2600 dV left!

Finally, someone made a challenge to build an SSTO that could go to the Mun, using no engines other than Panther, Terrier, Spark and NERV.    Here is a shot of my entry vs the sensible looking one.     

I went with 1 Panth 2 NERV, the other was 1 Panth, 1 NERV, 2 Sparks.

Nothing to see here...
