Random Governments Printer Friendly Version
In times where the US are trying to spread their home-made type of democracy all over the world, it's time to think about new forms of government. I'll call my invention "Automatocracy" - the idea is that elections should be abolished, instead the results should be created by a random generator.
The most important achievement of democracy (as opposed to monarchy or dictatorship) is the regular rotation of government. Automatocracy would definitely have this advantage - plus a couple of other really great benefits. Just think about it: no more expensive election campaigns, no more stupid election rhetorics, less lobbying, less propaganda, no more manipulation through the media. People could finally start having their own opinions instead of getting brainwashed. Politicians would finally be able to reach unpopular decisions as well, hey, they could even concentrate on their governing duties - chances are that they'll not be part of the next government anyway!
Of course this invention still needs a little bit of fine-tuning: the randomized elections need to follow a certain algorithm, perhaps in some statistical relation to real elections. Possibly there needs to be a set of simple rules against government crimes (corruption, embezzlement) - things that are usually punished automatically in elections. Have a test run in some far-away country where it's not so important (Iraq, US, wherever) and we're set! ;-)

Donut Idea Printer Friendly Version
My idea is to open a new kind of donut shop geared to the adult market. With donuts instead of having pink and chocolate icing making them more savoury looking and made with more wholesome foods like potatoes or cheese and less sweet. Like savoury pancakes or pretzels. So there's more of a meal with your coffee. Maybe a whole new chain of savoury donuts cafe's could be made!
Reward: Free savoury donuts with my coffee!!

Velcro Gloves and Bats/Rackets/Clubs Printer Friendly Version
Every sport comes with something to hold onto in the proper way or place and you have to grip the object correctly again and again in the right place to get it right. So whether you are playing golf, baseball, or some sport with a racket you need to find the right way to hold it and you need to keep that hold in the perfect place the entire time you play while learning any sport. With velcro/sports gloves and velcro on the bat or object you are gripping, someone can place your hands in the right place and it will stay there with velcro.
If you color code all the positions then you already know where to grab the object with the velcro to keep them there. If a golf professional shows you where to grab your club you are definitely going to want to know how to keep that grip until your shot is over. Your sport can come with instructions as to where and how to grab the object/s in order to achieve optimal success in that field of sport. This would make a great gift for any sports enthusiast!
Reward: Free product.
