Great site with some good ideas and inventions. A bit slow though.. needs more people. Please join tohelp get the site going. It's a really good idea for sharing your ideas and thoughts.
-
Lol I love the intro.
Good Find Google
Seems like alot of fun.
-
No Thanx.

Why not Patio?

Copycats ;)
That's why I have been hesitant on joining an Inventions Idea Site.

This looks like fun though.
-
It's all fun until the other person gets to the patent office, first!

I feel like I've said this before, but...EXACTLY!
-
True...and think about it.
It's pretty hard to get a patent(in the US at least), you have to get a lawyer to go through all the papers on getting a patent and i believe that in total its about $1,500 total for a patent.
Then you have to provide techincal diagrams of it, and a paper on how it would be used and so on and so forth.
So you might have some time to get the patent before another person does, unless they have a good amount of funding for it.
-
Try $15,000.00
-
Another way to get a patent and a cool 15 grand is to work at the patent office. lead-pipe: 15$.
knocking out the inventor with the pipe after paying the fee and then submitting it in your own name, priceless.
I could totally spam that site with invention ideas that make no sense.
For example:
a car that runs on gerbil paws.
a ejection seat for a car that works instead of an airbag. Airbags can hurt you. Instead the ejection seat shoots you over 1000 feet in the air to safety.
a Table Saw that doubles as a toothbrush. just don't put it in the wrong mode- you might accidentally brush some wood- or worse...
a CD-ROM that doubles as a sawblade.
a game controller that doubles as surge protector.
a Television set that has a BUILT-IN (!) toaster.
a Toaster that doubles as a robotic manicure machine. again, make sure the right mode is set.
And other great ideas with limited, if any, use.

D00d, j00 r sum k1nd o' g3n1us...or maybe a genie...I get cornfused!

I have 2 spindles of these...sorry !

another one- Glass that always shatters into isosceles triangles.
-
Or even better, equilateral triangles...
-
Or even better, equilateral triangles...
Now now- one step at a time, here.
recently we mastered the Scalene triangle shatter glass structure. It took almost three years to perfect the isosceles triangle shatter structure.
The difficulty with an equilateral triangle shatter structure was mostly with the edges- unless we ridge the sides it won't be able to accomodate the equilateral triangles at the edge- instead we'll get partial triangles, or worse- quadrilaterals. in either case, the structure during a shatter was so marred in our recent tests that the entire thing ended up shattering into equilateral Dodecagons, which was not the desired affect.
The research going into these studies has been long and vast. First, we fed a cockroach Tofu, and used the excrement from that cockroach to create sausages. burnt those sausages beyond recognition, stuck them in a blender, and then fed them to a two-headed gerbil. If the gerbil heads fought over the food, we declared our line of experiments null and started over using more careful testing procedures. If, however, they didn't touch the cockroach crap sausage then we continued onto the second part, which consisted of shooting said two headed gerbil using a high-speed launcher into a vat of rabid kittens (we go through a lot of these- I'd like to extend a thank you to our main rabid kitten supplier, Dias de verano. "Rabid kittens and expert haircare- what else could you possibly need?" ). now we count the number of maimed kittens. if the number is even, we proceed , otherwise, we start from square one- perhaps a different cockroach. proceeding from that step involves grinding up the bones of the two headed gerbil (which, having been shot into a vat of rabid kittens at the speed of sound would likely be quite dead) into bone-meal, which we subsequently feed to a large experimental creature that craps chairs. If, after eating the bone-meal the creature craps a victorian era high-class and padded chair, then we proceed. if there is no padding but the chair has victorian stylings, we instead take it on antiques roadshow for appraisal. If the price fetches more then 5 grand, we still proceed in the same fashion as we would had there been padding.
In several instances our creature ended up crapping an entire living room or bedroom set. In these instances the creature had to be hospitalized (our team of monkey doctors) to mend the- "posterior" tearing that occured from such large objects.
Now then, the experiment, having continued because of the crapping of a chair in the victorian style by our chair-crapping beast, moves on to the last stage, whereby we take the chair and expose it to a colony of super termites.
How are they super? you ask? well, quite simple really- they have been genetically engineered to grow small growths on their head that makes it look like they are wearing square glasses, much as a stereotypical nerd. They also have the ability to reproduce pi to the number of decimal places equal to the size of their colony.
Moving right along then- being exposed to the nerd-termites, we determine one of several things based on the resulting behaviour:
-if the nerd termites begin a ceaseless assault (before or after throwing dice), we add 2 to the result board.
if the nerd termites begin reciting poetry, we add 5.
if that poetry is in a foreign language, we add another 2
If the nerd termites begin to bivouac for no reason, we multiply it by PI and divide it by the number of toasters in the building.
If we wander off during testing, we just punch in some random number for the test result.
Once finished, we would have concluded absolutely nothing, spent millions of dollars, and generally gone no farther ahead research wise then before.
I declare this post a BC_Programmer classic.

I'm not even going to read all that..... After getting to "Now now", I had enough!
You must have a lot of spare time.....

BC, when you went to school, did you go on the big bus, or the little bus? ;)

Ah, I see you are familiar with American research methods and Congressional spending.
You are most astute!
Don't worry about kpac -- he's just jealous! ;)

BC walked to school....up hill both ways...
Take that back !
-
That is why I'm gonna create a new transportation medium :D
-
OK, OK -- I take it back! ;D
BC walked uphill...both ways...in the snow...year 'round. ;)

Let me tell you sonny... let me set you straight
You kids today ain't never had it rough
Always had everything handed to you on a silver plate
You lazy brats think nothing's good enough
Well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees below
We had to walk buck naked through forty miles of snow
Worked in the coal mines twenty two hours a day for just half a cent
Had to sell me internal organs just to pay the rent
Let me tell you something, you whiny little snot
There's something wrong with all you kids today
You just don't appreciate all the things you've got
We were hungry, broken and miserable and we liked it fine that way
There were seventy three of us living in a cardboard box
All I got for Christmas was a lousy bag of rocks
Every night for dinner, we had a big 'ol chunk of dirt
If we were really good, we didn't get dessert
Didn't have no telephone, didn't have no FAX machine
All we had was a couple cans and a crummy piece of string
Didn't have no swimming pool when I was just a lad
Our neighbor's septic tank was the closest thing we had
Didn't have no dental floss, had to use old rusty nails
Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails
Didn't have no water bed, had to sleep on broken glass
Didn't have no lawnmower, we used our teeth to cut the grass
What's the matter now, sonny, you say you don't believe this junk?
You think my story's wearin' kinda thin?
I tell you one thing, I never was such a disrespectful punk
Back in my time, we had a thing called discipline
My dad would whoop us every night till a quarter after twelve
Then he'd get too tired and he'd make us whoop ourselves
Then he'd chop me into pieces and play frisbee with my brain
And let me tell ya, Junior, you never heard me complain

Now its just an arm and a leg ;)

Jealous.......? Nah.... ;D

I'm also a fast typer- the above speel probably took about 5 minutes of my time. another 2 minutes for my read-over and spelling corrections- and ta-da! we had another one of my classics.

How did this switch from a website to patents to BC's funding to his long poem and now his typing speed ???
-
Hey, you just have to keep up, old son! ;) ::)
-
I'm not 70 or 80 :D

it's what I do. ;)

I live in the South, now, so I get to call people, "old son." ;D

So do I ,but I think I just now got the memo ;)

Try and keep up...

Aha, actually bulbstorm is stupid. There's never anything new on it and its all stuff I've seen before so... never mind.
Hey BC_programmer. Why is that your username?
-

You do know he's not actually a member, don't you?

Who's not a member? ???

Yes, good, Patio -- hadn't come across that line in a while.
-
kpac- I think he was asking why my username is BC_Programmer.
He'll just have to look for one of the three posts I've made explaining it. a Fourth one seems unnecessarily egotistical.
-
Awww...c'mon. Go for it !

Ahh.. i drather not
