Post a great idea for an invention. |
|
How about a peanut butter jar with two lids, one on top and one on the bottom? this way you'll save the trouble of scraping the bottom of the jar for 10 minutes, attempting to get a sufficient amout of PB to spread on your toast some morning.

3. How about a machine that could take you back to dinosaur times and also... |
|
...make them tame so you could ride them, then when you came back it could make a bunch of money and you'd be rich then.
Yeah....that'd be sweet.

While I'm there I'll ask them, "If God is all powerful, why did it take his humans 6,000 years before they thought to make a museum glorifying his accomplishment?"

10. I wish I could tell you that but no |

It was a real question and the person seemed to think an excellent refutation of evolution. The collective class jaw dropped.
When the instructor, a Kenyan man, brought up African juju-men and asked how she explained them, she scoffed and said, "Well, that's just silly!" :rofl:
It was one of the more surreal experiences of my life.

11. Somebody in my anthro class asked the old |
|
"if mankind evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys?" one, and I thought that was bad. This is why I could never teach, my response to those people would be that they fail and to please leave quietly to avoid disturbing the educable students. :D

12. I don't ever have any great ideas, all my ideas are stupid and impossible. |

Like I thought it would be cool to make a maglev tread for tanks so that they wouldn't have to be maintained as much and soldiers wouldn't die because of unreliable tracks with joints causing tanks to be impracticable to use in daily operations, but of course I have no way in hell of actually doing something about that idea.
Then I thought maybe I could make a car cover that would prevent hail damage by having an airbag that would inflate the airbag quickly, but someone already came up with a similar idea the "Hail Shield". It didn't go anywhere, of course, that might be because you need to store it in a duffel bag that could hold 10 year old, because it used foam instead of the air bag. <---Probably wouldn't be possible to get a license for the patent, although it was invented around 2001 so it will be off patent in a couple of years...)
Then I thought about an electrically powered jet engine, one that could save the environment by using electrical power wirelessly transmitted to the aircraft while in flight. (The electricity would heat the air by using an effect recently discovered that allows simple salt water to turn into a plasma. This design would also improve the ability of people to survive crashes, as salt water is not flammable.) Of course, I have no way to do this either.
My life sucks and I keep trying to do this for a living, but I always fail. I suck that's why.

You could fit them where the radio goes as an alternative. Think of the time it would save you in the mornings.

16. How about a bad manager detector? |
|
You can hold it up to the job description and it will tell you whether the job you're applying for is going to make your life a living hell if you get it, but you won't even begin to know that otherwise unless you've been there for 6 weeks...

22. A car with two fuel fillers--one on each side |
|
This would be a very easy invention to build, and fleet buyers, especially RENTAL fleet buyers, would snap these up in a heartbeat. But they'd benefit all drivers.
Just imagine: you can pull up to either side of the pump and still reach the fuel filler. You also don't have to sit in line for twenty minutes waiting for a pump that's on the same side of the car as your filler is to free up, because you have one on both sides of your car.

24. Really strong sunscreen |

You apply the sunscreen in May, and it last all summer. I would love to not have to worry about sunscreen and whether my pale self is turning lobster.
