This is the thread where you put all your ideas that will be to the benefit of all mankind as soon as someone gets off their ass and implements them.
Plausibility of the idea actually working is not necessarily required.




Here's my first one: Colored Tar!!

If roads were green, or red, or blue, or yellow instead of just black ... first of all, how much better would that look, am I right? ... and then they're synched up to how they're represented on road maps a lot fewer people would get lost.
I mean, it always looks so easy when you're planning the route out in advance; now I just take this yellow road until it intersects with the blue road which is where I hang left and then I'm good until it forks 10 miles up when I take the green one ..., but those turns aren't so obvious once you're out there. But color coordinated roads would make it a lot easier. And think about how much easier GIVING directions would be!

Candles that smell like cooking meat products when burned -- pot roast, pulled pork barbecue, ham. Steak on the grill.

Also, ham flavored toothpaste.

My proposal is nothing new, but we badly need the Japanese bullet train here on the East Coast. New York to Boston? One hour baby. New York to DC? An hour and a half. Implement a booze car and it's like stopping off at Happy Hour and ending up in another city.

It would work with bricks, too!

Re: Brilliant!!

Not so much a problem-solving thing, but creative ones:

-- Having had a decade-long craving for young girls' erotic journeys from Milan to Minsk, a man trying to buy a loaf of his soul, and people trying to blow me up (not because of who I am, but for different reasons altogether)... I'd love a TV serial/miniseries comprised of half-hour-/hour-long versions of the fictional movies in "Seinfeld." "Chunnel." "Mountain High." "The Other Side of Darkness" (with an emotional journey from Eric Roberts). Prognosis: Not Negative.

-- Boxing too boring for you? MMA not quite action-packed enough?

How about blindfolded one-armed battle-royale boxing?

You forgot "Sack Lunch," with Dabney Coleman! I bet he's available, too.

Ex-NBA star turned psychic secret agent fights crime and wrestles with intrigue... with his mind? Would you select... Agent Zero?

Slap, say, Will Arnett or Jane Lynch in there, along with a bunch of gratuitous Porky's-ish earthly delights, and Sack Lunch becomes a late-night LWFS Pick in your local video store.

Painless tattoo removal

We had a huge festival here in Grand Rapids last weekend, and walking around I was stunned by the sheer volume of really bad tats on young people, the kind of stuff they're going to regret by their mid-20s, much less their mid-40s.

I'm convinced that the person who invents a way to remove that stuff without intense suffering will be the next billionaire.

Re: Brilliant!!

"Parking" slots for supermarket/chain store shopping carts.

When you pull your car into an empty spot, the spot will already have a shopping cart "parked" there. We'll create some kind of locking system to hold them in place, so they don't blow all over the place in the wind. No need for the poor shlubs who work there to be taken out of the stock room to run out in a storm and collect all those wayward carts.

Park your car, take your cart. leave the store, bring cart back to spot, then lock or click it back in place for your next customer.

I want to keep the pain in that procedure. The last thing we need is to make the decision to get one even easier to make.
