I had this terrible problem while in the Navy (Vietnam) and was forced to take drastic measures. I rigged a mechanical alarm clock to apply 48 volts AC (ships power source) to electrodes taped to my big and little toes on one foot. 48 VAC is strong enough to jerk you out of bed without being painful...

I think it would be better to move in next door to the Coke plant and, during the night, sneak a neoprene tube just underneath their lawn and into their storage tank. On your end of the tube, attach a hand operated valve and position it just above your living room recliner. This idea popped vividly ...

Well,... now you've got me thinking... What about a disposable toothbrush with bristles formulated with tootpaste compounds (slow desolving) and, a handle made of a sugar free breath mint. When your finished brushing, break off the brush and eat the handle. I can see it now; "Ok kids, it's up t...

In Raleigh, NC there is a place called RaleighWood (like Hollywood) which is just that kind of place. They also serve beer, wine, etc. and fine foods. I think (guessing) most large cities have these types of theaters. It's the only place I'll go to see a movie these days. BTW,... USAir has a special...

GPS Child Locator Watch

Go to "GPSchildlocatorwatch.com" and purchase one if you wish. I only knew about this because they spammed me with it six weeks ago. I don't have any kids so, I used it to spam everyone I know that does. Also, I just did an additional quick search and found the price varies considerably fr...

I'm not sure I follow that Steve... has the price of boxing gloves gone up all that much? :-)

A company in Cary, NC is working on Automotive Repair E-books with full animations and graphics. It's being written in Excel. Currently planned name is "AutoCopWizard" but they are certain they will find a better name. I don't remember the name of the company but they plan to market it thr...

To advertise air-conditioning business

Mount a sufficiently sized home air-conditioning unit and gas powered generator to power it inside of an old used panel van. Vent the condenser exaust out the bottom of the van. Cover the outside of the van in chicken wire to keep the inches of ice formed by humidity collection from breaking off and...

The trick would be in controlling it. MagLev trains have the additional advantage of being able to magnetically space from the edge of the track as well. On a skate board over flat surfaces, you would need all your electromagnetic controlling devices on the skate board -- extremely heavy and bulky. ...

I'm currently working on a hologram project and what you're suggesting IS possible but would require the hologram projector to be tracked to the ceiling so that it could go where ever you might go. The only other way would be multiple projectors throughout the areas you might visit -- each covering ...

It would be MY luck to get stopped and have the cop notice my cell phone was alcohol disabled and arrest me -- OWCH. :-) Kidding aside, no respectable drunk would subject him/her self to such limitations. You would have to make it mandatory by law on ALL cell phones and that would be a tough one to ...

This is an idea that would definately SAVE LIVES. Just ask the 60% of us that are divorced or wish we were. PLUS, as an added benefit, it would completely destroy the lives of thousands of Lawyers. :-)

Loud annoying TV commercials

After thousands of complaints to the FCC about this problem, a battle was fought and the end results were that TV commercials could no longer be INCREASED in volume. Unfortunately, the ruling did NOT say that the TV show (program) could not be REDUCED in volume so, the problem continues. Also, they ...
