What crazy/mythical invention would you like to see? I don't mean something big like a machine to produce universal peace or anything, but smaller scale everyday things that would make life a little easier. For me it would be the Bat-pole (from the Batman movies/comics etc). I find the whole thing of getting washed, dressed and presentable every morning really tedious. (Of course I still do it).

*sniffs underarm approvingly*

But I would love to get out of bed, slide down a pole and find myself perfectly turned out at the bottom. That would be a great way to start the day.

*stares dreamily into space*

So what would you have?

Sex-bots.

The 'O-ray'.

That's a gun that shoots a bean that makes anyone that it hits orgasm ucontrollably. It would be the ultimate non-lethal weapon.

Don't like the name? I was considering 'Little Death Ray' also.

Win.

A mute button that worked on anything or anybody. Just press a button and volla! The irritant can't be heard until it's pressed again.

Flexible glass.
So I could get at the rest of the Nutella that always hides just out of reach of knifes and spoons right where the jar bulges outward.
The advantage being, glass is fully recycleable.

I have designed a self-stirring mug, does that count?

I want a self-cleaning house, especially the kitchen, the litter box and the bathrooms.

A brain, soooo many people could use of these handy things.

Did you wash it first?

a variety of nanobots which:

1. cleaned me 24/7 (includes teeth and making sure i never have bad breath)
2. meant i never had to brush (or wash; see #1) my hair
3. removed excess fat & calories from food: eat as much as i like of what i like
4. fought bacteria and viruses like a programmable second immune system
5. coat my skin, hardening to a steel-like substance on impact, in the chance of an accident or car crash
6. repair cellular decay and somehow add 50 or 100 years to my lifespan

i think that'll do :D
and i think those would sell very well ;)

I would take it a step-further, Get that wacky machine from the Jetsons that washes, shaves, and clothes George Jetson, all in a matter of seconds

:)

Hammers for teeth. I think the possibilities speak for themselves.

A faster-than-light drive so I could go to my own planet in another system and get away from everyone.

a self making sandwich bot, or something like that.

I always want a sandwich, but am way to lazy to make one..

a communication device to alert cars around you that they are driving like idiots

possibly the easiest way to accomplish this would be to put one of those scroller signs in your rear window so that you can press a button with a pre-made message saying something like "hey asshole, the fast lane is for driving fast" and "I hate you"

A riding leaf blower. It'd be like a lawn mower but instead of cutting grass, it would blow leafs out of your hard without all that tedious walking around. It came to me when I was actually using my lawn mover to blow the leaves out of my yard. :)

The point-of-view gun. I can't quite remember whether this was, or was not, in Adam's book, but all the same, I think it would be a fantastic thing to possess. Pulling in clubs would be easy, as would politics. Relationship issues could be solved with the pull of a trigger....:)

An Automatic Food Synthesizer would be awesome. Or a working jetpack with some real flight time. Personal teleportation would also be good...

I think you are describing something from a Douglas Adams book. Is this the gun that make it appear to the firer that the target has been killed in a violent fashion, without causing actual harm?

I think it was from the film rather than the books.

I agree with this one as well though, this might be the device that ended conversation.

What about a gun that can't shoot innocent people? (fit some special computer gadget to it and it''s done),

or a floating storage device that could carry small weights, this would mean you wouldn't need to buy rucksacks that wiegh you down once filled with books,

or an energy device that works by increasing lightning strikes in a certain area then harnessing that energy to power lights, or cars.

or a sort of giant toaster that works when it detects enemy aircraft it pops a giant piece of steel in the air thus killing the target.

or a bottle that instantly heats ice once it's placed in it so for trips to the cold areas you always have water with you when you're near ice.

or a car that runs on sewage, all it has to do is go to the nearest sewage pump station to carry on, and if you run out of fuel you just shit into the storage tank and you're off.

or biogenetically eningeering a type of insect that eats only rubbish in rubbish tips (like a sort of small robot) and reproduces asexually, to stop it coming into contact with humans make it suceptable to being eaten by maggots and put lots of maggots around them, using the extra carbon dioxide to power a carbon dioxide plant.

or using carbon dioxide to power fuel by storing it then pressurising it.

or genetically engineer a disease that would kill all humans it came into contact with if they had the DNA for sadistic killing or mutilation.
Only administered to prisoners.

There's more daft ideas i have but i can't remember them just yet, happy hannukah, merry new year, happy xmas, happy ramadan, good luck with next years lent, enjoy your afterlife, enjoy your life until you die, good luck disproving religion, good luck proving religion, sionara
