I know that if you drink a lot of 'purple stuff' (purple Kool-Aid,) it will turn your poo poo green. Pepto-Bismol turns it black..like, thick, jet black. If you aren't aware before you take it you might think something is SERIOUSLY wrong with your bowels.

Wiki tests: Randomized questions (largely multi-choice I guess) made by people for pages and ideas from Wikipedia. Available to all countries to aid low level understanding of topics, may not be worth a lot of money but could be very useful in teaching. This is something I have wanted for a while as this sort of thing greatly helps me learn. Sealance: A very long lance with a very tapered end that you can sit on and get dropped from the sky into the sea with, without a parachute. Scary and dangerous but maybe possible. Battery operated clothes, like electric blankets you wear. These probably already exist. Mandatory teaching of higher level critical thinking and skepticism in school, hopefully leading to less conservatives/homophobes/conspiracy theorists/ climate change deniers etc. Million dollar idea in that I would pay a million dollars to not have to deal with these people.

1½% milk. A location alarm for my phone where I can set a GPS location and have it beep when it gets close. That way I can take a nap on the bus. I realized I'm actually capable of creating both of these things myself, but

1) Automate the creation of blood-slides 2) Hook a strong-rear end microscope up to a computer 3) Train separate neural networks to recognize the individual good and expected components of the blood (on the theory that making a neural network to recognize "everything good" is harder than several networks that specialize) 4) Any blood slide that has "too much" non-recognized-as-good things gets flagged for human inspection Ba-da-boom ba-da-bing, improved blood donation screening with almost no recurring cost. I don't know poo poo about dick about blood borne illnesses.

Little peep holes on toilet stall doors so you can see who wants to come in. The "Peeple Peeper (while you're peeing and pooing)". It's really strange that in the year 2013, we're still peeking through the cracks in the door like subhumans.

It's really strange that in the year 2013, we're still peeking through the cracks in the door like subhumans. Why the? What the? How often do people try to get in to your stall? And more importantly, why do you want to see who it is? I hope I'm not the only one finding this really strange

Well first off, people who eat at Burger King. quote:How hard is it to grab whatever trash you've created as you're getting out of the car and throw it in the nearest bin? Well, do you really want to have to stick your fingers between the door and the passenger seat so you can fish out that last piece of trash? Or comb through the floor mat to make sure all the dirt, crumbs, and hair clippings are removed? Do you really have time--after winding yourself with two pounds of burger meat--to clean up the Sbarro pizza box that has trapped itself under your seat? Probably not. New invention: Disposable floor mats (with curved edges, to trap trash). "Trash mats". EDIT: We could even expand into various trash mat themes: Tribal patterned trash mats. Tweetie Bird trash mats. Ed Hardy trash mats. Cream-of-Plenty has a new favorite as of 04:45 on Oct 10, 2013 |

Same Great Paste posted:1) Automate the creation of blood-slides Sorry buddy, but 1) blood slide creation is already largely automated 2) The visual portions of blood analysis are already automated and we already have computer programs capable of differentiating, optically, between types of blood cells and abnormal cells. 3) viruses and are too small to see under a microscope, so you'd still need to do other lab screenings to assess for HIV or hepatitis C, etc. But good thinking, you just needed to have the idea ~ 30 is years ago.

I work in a school, and about five or six years ago, many students started to walk about the corridors with headphones on, ear buds in, listening to music from their phones, their iPods. I'd see them walking about in their own little worlds, sometimes nodding to a friend, but essentially isolated. I thought, wouldn't it be good if there was some kind of app, some way that everyone could listen to the same music at once? So that when a good bit happened, or they caught the eye of another student, there would be a moment of connection, a "This is a good bit!" moment. They could be in step, walking in different directions, something to join them together. I got quite excited about the prospect. Then I realised that I had invented radio.

A toaster for towels. It's like a toaster oven, but you put towels in there while you're in the shower. Then you get out and there's a warm towel waiting for you. You could also put like, jackets and socks in there too I guess. I just hate being cold when I get out of the shower.

You can already make one of these out of an ordinary toaster oven. Just go buy a cheap one (~$20), set it up on your bathroom counter, stick your towel of choice inside, and then take a shower.

So you want a towel warmer, which is basically a heated towel rack? They're pretty cheap at Walmart and great for drying your pants and jacket after a long night of plowing snow. Edit: Here's a "cheap" one on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Jerdon-Warmrails-Mounted-Standing-37-5-Inches/dp/B0000DIX6G/ref=lp_16351481_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1381462592&sr=1-4 I swear I bought one for like $35 a few years ago, but they run upwards of $500 apparently?

I use my phone a bunch and pray to Allah that one of these days we're gonna get hit with an update that adds another button to the keyboard. It functions like the backspace key but instead deletes forward. This new forwardspace key will erase the frustration that arises from being one letter off with the cursor when erasing a word. I've spent the rest of my life trying to design a robot that collects piles of dog poo poo and gift wraps them to be left at nearby stoops. I can't decide if the AI will talk a bunch of poo poo or just roll around in it.

For dentists: A tiny robot with a camera, light source, drill, water supply & drain. Remote control that sucker so it can stand inside the patient's mouth and conduct drill work from any angle, so you don't have to stick your hands in someone's mouth for an hour at a time. Adapt an endoscope to start with.
