Gorgo just inspired me over in Siberia's thread about her upcoming surgery. The question "Does your home have some unsightly fat?" gave me an idea. I want to invent a vacuum for home use that sucks out fat, say through a valve in the navel. Then, say once a month, the fat is collected as part of a lypo-donor program. You know, to plump out some chick's lips, or round out a flat ass. Donor and recipient share the cost. Wouldn't that be great?!

How 'bout it, everybody. What would you invent if you had the time and money? The more outlandish, the better.

Wendy, the fat your vacuum sucks out should simply be burned to heat the home, or made into candles on the spot. Even if the lip-injections find a market, there will still be a vast surplus of fat, anyway.

But as to your question, the answer would have to be... TiVo for the brain. Just think about it: no more searching for note paper. Plus, you could pause, rewind and slo-mo live life.

How disgusting!

Keep that up and I'll walk you through a hog-butchering, step by step, including making boudin noir from the blood and large intestine!

I would like to invent a method of giving polititions a temporary but advanced case of tetnus every time they are caught in a lie.

Thats just down right mean! Tetnus is probably one of the worst diseases out there. I love it.

I would invent a camera that goes in a car takes a picture of a licence plate and sends it directly to the cops when you are run off the road.

In a related story, I was just run completely off the road (literally on the grass) today by some asshole who tried to pass me when there was only 1 lane and on coming traffic. No physical damage to the car or me, but my left hand was shaking for a little while after it.

I wish I had gotten a licence plate or something. The only thing I know is that it was black, and big.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Brilliant, Dave! Lower utility bills for me, and a craft for the kids, too.

That happened to me about a year ago. Pissed me off, then scared the hell out of me. Glad you're okay.

I'm just waiting for Drexler's Nonobots and hoping they don't destroy us, but work as planned. That would take care of eveyone elses inventions as well.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

Remote control batteries for use in childrens' toys, especially the loud ones given to the kid by relatives who don't live in the same house.

Sell the remotes for $2 and make the money off the batteries.

There's just something oddly wrong about that concept.

How 'bout an unbreakable bullshit detector? Since Bush took office, mine keeps overloading.

Speaking of remote control devices, how about a remote that produces a horrible screeching noise (imagine that noise you get when you accidentally dial a fax, only 100x louder)in the ears of cell phone users? (Actually I'm being nice--I had originally concieved of something that would cause these nuisances to explosively self-destruct, but even I am not that mean!)

How about in the ears of telemarketers?

I would invent a device to give creationists a sense of logic. Might come in handy for politicians also.
