A tank-boat-plane-submarine.

You could anywhere.

I was thinking yesterday about the possibility of a real battleship- like a low-flying attack boat.

I once sent a letter to the President with my ideas for a new hamster ball design. It would be latched to a toy car and powered by the hamster's tiny little feet.

They sent me pictures of their dog in response. :laugh:

A sleeping bag that keeps you cold. There would be a network of tubes that connect to a cooler of ice water. Your body movement would pump the water through the bag. I like camping but only if I can get a good nights sleep.

Okay, I feel a little guilty now for not thinking that my invention could help little kids with fevers. But sleep is REALLY important to me.

How about a small cooler designed just for liquor? It would be a little taller and have a divider for clean ice. To help take the edge off if you are camping and your kid has a fever.

"Stab proof" sheets. My sheets already perform this function but the new ones would be more so.

I've had it in my head for a while now the idea of submarine planes...especially in war. Imagine being in a boat and seeing five or six planes coming your way, so you open fire, only to have these planes swan dive into the ocean and get you from beneath.

You'd be shocked.

It'd change a lot of the dynamics of war, but the main mad one would still persist.

That would be totally badass.

Haha that's not what I'm saying!

There are these little gel packs that you can buy for kids with fevers or just anyone out in the heat. They're called b cool or something like that and I was saying Tou could develop some sort of inner layer pocket thing inside the sleeping back to put something like that

Or I guess you could just wear one of those patches

But hey maybe there should be a sleeping bag that plugs in like an electric blanket but instead of warming you up it cools you down.

Is there something like that?

Yeah, I was just kidding.

I didn't know about those packs. I looked them up and they are expensive for the size. Maybe they are like the handwarmers and the price would go down as they are mass produced. If they are reusable, my thought would be to just build the sleeping bag out of one big one.

As a side note, I couldn't help but wonder what my camping mates would think of me getting ready to go to bed by sticking a hundred of those Mickey Mouse fever patches all over myself. I get teased enough with my battery powered fan.

I 'invented' shoes that you could attach roller blades or wheels or cleats or an ice skating blade to. I'm a big fan of utility.

I do hold a patent, but it's for something much, much more mundane than your fancypants "sky lawnmowers" and "sheets that prevent you from getting stabbed" :irked:

Toast that butters itself.

Trousers that wear themselves.

An automated teller machine that becomes pissed off when YOU are out of order.

A machine that removes the sweetcorn from the cob so I dont have to hurt my teeth.

Hot ice-cream.

Sweet Lemons.

Young people's retirement home's.

Tickets that induce a charge against parking ticket writers.

Speed cameras that measure the speed of the other speed cameras to make sure they are fast enough to actually capture things accurately.

Self-cleaning dogs.

Some kind of electronically charged microchip that gives out an electric shock everytime someone does something stupid, which means all of us...everywhere would be constantly shocked all the time.

Anti-viagra.....for kids to play pranks on their middle-aged father's with.

A paradox-correcting timecode that can only be used to go back 1 minute to alter something idiotic that you might have said or done.

Wow, lots of people are having trouble mowing their lawns.

I have (not) invented a bean bag that sticks to the back of a telephone receiver so that when you need to go hands free and hold the receiver between your chin and shoulder, it doesn't slip. I thought it could be licensed to have cartoon characters and sports teams and Hello Kitty and all that nonsense on it too.
