What Is There Left To Invent?

[Diamondback]

I want my Flux Capacitor.

With or without attached DeLorean? You might look over at BTTFParts.com...

The person who comes up with a zapper gadget that one can point at another car and disable their pavement-heaving thump-boom sound system will be a very wealthy individual.

We already have that, too. It's called: get access to their vehicle while they're away, find a hunk of coax cable leading to their amp or sub-subwoofers, and drive a pin clear through, clipping the ends. They fire it up, instant disablement of their entire sound system.

NOTE: This could be "felony vandalism" in some areas, not to mention potentially dangerous; the above comment is FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! DO *NOT* TRY THIS AT HOME!

Edit: Oh, a personal EMP device might do the trick, but you'd risk frying your own electronics, too.

A transparent globe-shaped hairdryer like Zhora uses in Blade Runner. I wanted one in 1982 and I still want one! Why can't this be invented?

I am waiting for Zhora to be invented.

I knew someone would say something like that.

Cool

Yes Maj. because every civilization thought IT was the peak, the greeks, romans, renaissance, etc ... and this one too thinks its the peak ... oh but how wrong they are. If we could only ask the people who'll live 1.000 years from today ... for them we'd all be neanderthals lol

You mean there is a possibility that my likeness might be viewed on some futuristic GEICO commercial?

Now that's the cat's meow!

The BIWIN Automatic In-Home Pet Fur Accumulator and Felter.

Once it has automatically gathered and cleaned the required quantity of your own pet's fur, the BIWIN Automatic In-Home Pet Fur Accumulator and Felter will blend it with other fibers chosen by you, the home user * into a fine, densely woven, premium felt. The felt will then be automatically teleported to Art Fawcett, Steve Delk, or your hatter of choice who will render a stunning creation from these dearly-cherished remnants and teleport it back to you within....

*Natural fibers suitable for blending may be purchased from BIWIN, Inc. at a reasonable charge and include, but are not limited to: Black Bear, Polar Bear, Grizzley, Panda, Ferret, Mink, Otter, Wolverine, Hare, Beaver, Nutria, Polecat, Wallace, and Grommet.

No living creature is killed, maimed, injured, or insulted during the harvesting of it's fur.

All creatures donating fur to BIWIN, Inc. are farm-raised from the purest genetic cloning stock available.

Keep watching for the ultimate in available furs for blending as BIWIN, Inc. introduces the latest in cloned furs from extinct specimens and creatures of antiquity.

BIWIN, Inc. keeping you aHead of the pack.

Where are all the Tom Strange, Johnny Rocket, gee whiz bang, folks today! Hellooooo......:whistling

I wrote the one below for those guys who want to make their own felts.

Now, I need investors. :fedora:

Perhaps this has already been invented: a personal preventive protection device that works by heat-sensing out the bad guy. I thought of it while watching the movie Miami Vice with a friend. (I had to think about something.) Picture this: You are coming home. You point the device like a flashlight at the area around the door. If the bad guy is lying in wait it will sense his heat and let you know, then you can turn around and call 911. Good idea? Already on the market?

It's called a "thermal imager", Ms. Ashley. Very ugly, very unfashionable and bulky, but...

And the technical name for folks who pack 'em nonprofessionally is "Mall-Ninja"...lol

The trick seems to be to size it down to go alongside the mini (probably non-working) can of Mace in the lady's handbag. Sell like hotcakes.

Speaking of, let's add viable "less-lethal" self-defense tools to that list--there are perps out there who use Mace and pepper-spray for seasonings, and not everything calls for The Light At The End Of The Tunnel...

"Don't taze me, bro!" lol

Well you can get your animals hair spun into yarn!
