    I wish they had an invention so that when ever im in my car on the way to work/etc.. and someone

    1: cuts me up
    2: sits at the lights applying makeup
    3: drives at 10mph on the duel carrageway
    4: doesnt know the rules of the road

    a big fork would shoot out from under my car going right under the middle and right hand side of their car, then lifting their car 30 feet up in the air and off to the side of the road, into a wall, river, what ever, potentially killing the idiot infront of my car doing any of the above. Man i would love that!!

    What invention would you love?

    I wish they had an invention so that whenever someone

    1: starts an idiotic thread
    2: writes duel carrageway in place of dual carraigeway
    3: doesn't know the rules of the apostrophe

    a big fork would shoot out and lift the idiot and dump them in the nearest lake. Man I would love that!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    How about a plasma toilet. While ur havin a piss, u can be watchin Hi-Def TV in the water. a bit like the time in the slime thing, except in Hi-Def! of course, the toilet would have it own built in satellite dish/receiver, as well as a viewing card slot.

    They already have them, the main rotors are usually fitted with explosives and are designed to self-destruct milliseconds before the seat ejects.


    Duhhh!!!!! :D

    A pistol that shoots Uranium bullets, an invention that would surely win the Nobel Peace Prize!!

    Fart Grenades.

    An IT job after I finish this current one that dosen't require 50,000 - 50,001 years experience, has nothing to do with Software Development, and is located nowhere near Dublin but in Connacht instead would be nice, though I think I'm letting my imagination run away here.

    A Teleporter would be handy, roll out of bed, slap on the clothes, step in the machine and *POP* your arrive at your desk!

    An MP3 Player that is embedded in your brain so you can turn it on just by thinking of whatever song.

    An EMP (Electro-Magnetic-Pulse) device that can wipe out any Boy Racer car passing by you by the press of a button.

    A self Guinness-making machine that fits snuggly beside your couch.

    Some sort of Pool table-queue counter that can correctly display who's next up on the table, I'm sick of missing my game!!

    A **** machine for the quite nights when your wife is off playing bridge and also it will have to clean up the mess. *starts designing*

    Thats silly.

    think about it, have u been on the road like a duel carrageway or the motor way when there is a crash on the other side? the irish drivers are nosey ***** they all slow down to have a look, your plan would just make traffic worse.

    A good invention would be some sort of Bio-logical (sp?) weapon that is abale to elimanate 90% of the worlds population in a single shot

    A skin for boards that makes it looks perfectly normal from a foot away but any farther then that and it looks like something work related. Perfect for when the boss walks by your desk.

    You could buy one of these at ridiculous expense. Beef up the robotic arm a bit and it should be able to throw cars about quite nicely I'd imagine.

    Now that would be cool. Listen to music anytime you want and noone would ever know. It would improve the mood of the world no end.

    You can just imagine George Bush's mind during peace talks....

    " I love you, you love me..... something something family"

    or maybe his mind would just be whitenoise i dont know.

    Grrrrr. Im finished lunch break. Back to work for me.

    A computer that had components like a transformer. They could transform into newer, faster, components. Never have to buy a computer again. Also transformers would be cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747

    That makes absolutlely no sense!?! Why not just transform your components into something that won't be released for 6,000 years? :p

    An invisible cloak would be handy. Wear it into work, piss in the coffee jug and Hot water container, stand back and marvel in your work when break time hits!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Something a little more serious - built-in jack in your car.

    Step out of vehicle, remove keys, press button on dash, and *whirrrrr* the front/rear left/right of the vehicle lifts into the air, then lifts the spare wheel into an easily removeable position. When you're done, reverse.

    Simple.

    Transformers can only transform into something they can see or something like that or at least that's what I gathered from the film. Also good luck getting drivers for something that won't exist for another 6,000 years [/geek]

    Yeesh! With all the serious talk of **** devices, transforming components, and ejector seats for helicopters, you come along with probably the daftest idea on this thread. Tsk, Tsk

    *While Seamus is distracted reading this post Duggy legs it off to patent "built-in jack" idea*

    Oh, an ever-lasting fag would be nice........................though that would probably kill you!

    Well, if the boss was asleep with their mouth open you'd have to put things in there :D
