Radical Invention

Crimson...

Hello.

Last night whilst sitting on my 4th floor window, staring at the moon i came up with the following impracticle idea:

MOON CLOCK

Oh yes. A digital moon clock. It somehow projects a time display like a watch onto itself and gets the right time for each country. So as you stare up at it you will see the digital display on the moon. It's just big enough to focus on.

People outside will simply be able to look up when out and know the time of day and perhaps it could even scroll recent news.

What you reckon?

Gordon

Fantastic!

I propose another invention: A TIME MACHINE! It somehow takes you back in time.

xzanti

What if its cloudy?

Karoma

Hmmm. Only the 4th floor and so obviously starved of oxygen?

tbh

Where do I sign? I'm an inventer myself. I've invented a sarcasm filter. Would you like to buy one? I think you are going to need one.

I'm sure it's crossed the minds of the lads in Maccie D's, Coke, Pepsi to do the same thing with their logo! Wouldn't put it past them..:)

Archeron

Nice to see somebody using their brain for something other than thinking up sarcastic replies to threads.

Hmmm if it was cloudy we could change it from the clock and could use microwave emitting satelites to "herd" clouds into specific formations, like words. How great would it be to lay back on a nice day, staring at the sky and watching the clouds form the text of your favourite books! Reading would be so much fun, and "drawing" in the sky with clouds would be immense.

Great way of advertising too

Has been thought of, developed and took a court battle to stop them from doing it if memory serves me correct*

*Memory often serves me incorrect and this could have just been a dream, pulp fiction or dodgy B movie

I'd like to expand on the cloud herd idea - what if you herded all the clouds together over the house of a person you don't like or even better pin point that person by satellite, herd the clouds over them and make them rain on top of that person. Or even better - cause a thunder and lightening storm over their head:D

Perhaps we should just get rid of the ozone layer while we're at it......

Man keep research grants out of your hands, you'd be lethal......

I too have this same problem. Could have been on Futurama or something like that. That whole dreams V reality is a killer really.

How am I going to know the time during the day? OR what if I was on a plane at night but sitting in an aisle seat so couldn’t see the moon, Or…….

if we could only make miniture grandfather clocks that you could somehow strap to a part of your body that will allow you to carry them around and tell the time where ever you may be!

You could tie it around your waist and if your a guy the pendulum could be tucked into the crotch making those around you think that you have a huge swinging appendage.

What ya think?

Ruu_Old

Just have the mini grandfather clock around your neck, it would make you look "hip and cool" to the young 'uns.

tbh

oh man you'd better patent that, and quick!! Kind of stupid to post it on boards before doing so really....

Now i know its time to kill myself after sitting and reading this thread. the best invention ever would be a tablet that stops people coming up with silly ideas like a moon-clock.

Isn't the moon mostly visible at night? A generalisation I know, but there you go...

WhiteWashMan

pedant...

Black Swan

Inventive? Yes. Desirable? No. I love the Moon the way it is, and pretty soon we will have commercials on Moon Timex.

Tar.Aldarion

Hell no, going for walks at night and looking at the moon is the only thig that calms me down.
Moon classic ftw.
OP, put away the Salvia X20 and Gordon, lol.
