Choice of book cover colors Printer Friendly Version
I just picked up Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors - great book, but the cover is purple, with silver lettering, giving it the aura of a cheap supermarket romance novel. How am I supposed to read that on the subway? (See? This really is a traffic-related idea...)
A couple years ago, Filth (Irvine Welsh) came out in a choice of blue, green, yellow, and pink covers. Why can't choices like this be available for all books? Even better, design a machine that will allow you to apply your choice of color to a blank cover, with a stencil to cover lettering and pictures.
Reward: Smoke and Mirrors in green, please.

Airplane evacuation mechanism Printer Friendly Version
Have you ever asked yourself why there are no parachutes (or not enough for all passangers) in civil airplanes for emergency situations?

Well I have, but the only reason I found is that they are too heavy and take cargo space. Is it plausible to parachute 100 people in case of emergency?
What if there is a mechanism to parachute all passangers in their seats through the back of the plain. The seats should be similar with fighter pilot's seats with an incorporated parachute.
I do not know what is the amount of casualties from plane crashes, but there might be justifications for this mechanism to be implemented in future planes.
Reward: Safe airlines :)

Smart Stop Signs Printer Friendly Version
I noticed how most of the time when I pull up to a stop sign, there isn't anyone else there, yet I stop anyway. Why? Because its against the law to not stop at a stop sign.
This is a complete waste of fuel. Perhaps sensors on the road could alert someone that another motorist is going to be at the intersection and thus activate a stop sign alerting the other motorist they are going to need to stop. Otherwise they can just cruise on thru, thus saving fuel!
Reward: recognition
