    I'm talking about a complete chicken without any bones not just coated chicken breast. KFC is nice though.

    A kind of push pop thing with pringle tins, a bit at the bottom that you can push up from the outside, hence you can easily access the remaining pringles that are usually hard to reach at the bottom of the tin.

    I had the great idea of sensored street lights. Miles of motorway/Dual carriageway are lit through the night with no one about, its a waste. So the sensor on the lampost would turn on the next 4 or 5 lights and turn off any behind the car, so the only part of the road lit would be at and in front of the car for 100-150m.

    Turns out these lights use a shitload of electricity warming up and turning on, so that's a no-go, and LED lights will probably replace standard streetlights in the future and use a fraction of the electricity.
    It'd burn the bulbs out quicker.

    I worked in a care home for the developmentally disabled up until a few years ago and one of the problems that many clients encountered was epilepsy. I used to do a lot of night shifts and you had to constantly check that people weren't having seizures in their sleep

    I had the idea one night that a bed-sheet fitted with motion sensors and hooked wirelessly up to a central alarm system would be a fantastic idea. I even attempted to patent it and had it written up by a New York law firm, seriously :o

    Never got to the prototype stage because anyone I spoke to about making it insisted that it would cause more problems than it rectifies

    that was my chindōgu.. I still thinks it's a good idea though :P

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Pighead yearns for the day when a bright inventor invents a pair of shoes that cut the grass as yot walk up and down the lawn. No more dragging the poxy lawnmower out of the shed knocking over tins of paint and boxes of poxy powertools. No more pulling the poxy start lead and pulling muscles in the upper right quadrant of your shoulder area. No more having to listen to the poxy "neeaeaeaeaeaeaaeeaeaeaeaea" noise as the poxy engine buzzes like a bunch of teenage girls drunk on alcopops. No more emptying bags of stinking poxy pollen ridden grass that make your hay fevered infected eyes sting and water like a poxy liquid nettle. No more of any of that poxy nonsense. Just a pair of blue and yellow shoes with silver deathly sharp rotator blades in the soles that whirr softly but slice sharply. Merciless shoes that go "slice, slice, shred, shred"

    Just had a great idea, which should keep everyone happy.....

    Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.

    Pure genius.

    I think keeping pets of any kind is wrong. Most pets I see look bored, are made wear the clothes of human beings and are dragged around places on a piece of rope and have no say in the matter. I suggest releasing them into the wild again.

    not to lower the tone, but would someone having a tom hank set it off?

    Would it be easier to measure their brain activity from the ceiling - i'd imagine there's a characteristic wave arrangement...

    Haha...they should all be released into the wild together. Doesn´t seem fair keeping the EMOs in the confines of the grounds of the Central Bank in Dublin like that. Cruel.

    Change those colours to red, white and blue and the American military might be interested in Pigheads death shoes. Understandably of course, cutting the white house grass with them might not be their primary purpose.

    Sun Cream Factor 50 shotgun cartridges!

    Thought of it while trying to apply sun cream to my two kids, nearly impossible.

    Load up the old shotty, yell "Pull" and a child heads for the door.

    "Boom"..."Boom"...all coated in sun cream!

    I fired the double cause it's really sunny out.
