Taco Shell Closed on One End Printer Friendly Version
Do you ever get tired of those messy tacos where everything falls out of it as you eat it? My idea is to close one end of the taco, so that when you eat it, the sauce and meat doesn't drip all over your hand. When you work your way down to the end of it, stop eating and throw the end away with all the grease and juices in it.
Reward: A box of them and a thank you.

Configurable Ear Plugs Printer Friendly Version
With unwanted emails it's easy: You can place any address on a "No thank you!" list, and you will never again receive an email from that particular person (unless he or she changes the address, but that's a different story). Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the same options for the "junk" that reaches your brain via your ears?
Boys, just imagine: You can talk to your buddies without having to listen to what your girlfriend is telling you about her latest shopping trip. - Girls: Annoyed by that idiot sitting next to you at the bar who has been talking to you for more than half an hour, although you have showed no sign of interest? Just configure your ear plugs accordingly, and you will still be able to chit-chat with that handsome barkeeper.
Or just imagine you are stuck in a train compartment on your way to an important meeting, and the baby next door keeps screaming all night. Or maybe you are the mother, and you do want to hear your baby, but not the voice of that idiot complaining...
There would be infinite applications for this invention.
Reward: A lifetime supply of configurable ear plugs would be just the thing for me.

Cure All Rusting for Good Printer Friendly Version
Some forms of corrosion are known to be caused by bacteria (the rusting of the Titanic, for example.) What if *ALL* metallic corrosion turns out to be biological rather than from simple chemistry? In that case, tailored antibacterials could at long last "cure" all unwanted rust (cured in the medical sense). Probably a cocktail of drugs would be needed for the various iron-eating flora, and different drugs would go after the aluminum-eaters, etc.
Reward: Stock in your gene-engineering anticorrosion paint company.
