I was really pissed when Voivod covered 'Astronomy Domine'...

Head in a box? My idea

When I was a teenager, I dreamed up the idea of a collar, worn around around the base of your neck on hot days, that pumps some kind of cold liquid through plastic tubes circulating through the apparatus. The idea is to chill your blood as it passes through your neck via the jugular veins, and as the cooled blood flows through the body, it would lower your body temperature.

I originally got this idea while sticking a can of cold soda pop against my neck on a sweltering summer day. The feeling of the cold can against my neck was really refreshing but only lasted a few minutes because the liquid inside the can would eventually warm up. My idea was to have a small refrigeration unit worn on the belt or something, that would chill the liquid then pump it through insulated tubes to the neck collar, where heat exchangers would bring the coolness to the surface of the skin.

With this system, other garments could be used to bring coolness to other parts of the body, like around the torso or under the armpits.

While this thing doesn't have refrigeration or use circulating fluid, it accomplishes basically the same thing with freezer ice packs

I think I'm gonna puke. And you know what's worse? My girlfriend would definately buy this book if she were to discover it's existence.

Not really bad like "your going to die" but stupid and annoying bad things like "your going to misplace your car keys" or "your wife thinks your fat" etc etc.

I think it would work as point of purchase at like 7 eleven stores. Make a big sign/picture of a hot asian girl in a bikini with a sash that says "Miss-fortune" and dip the cookies in chocolate to make them a little more enticing then your average fortune cookie. Sell em for 99 cents and bam your rich.

They beat you to it.

mouse with an ear on it's back? that was mine

I don't understand why this ^ is not in stores right now.

I could have used this this morning, I put a stick of butter in the microwave to soften it up for application to bread as is pictured, as part of a fried egg, bacon and cheese sandwich but I forgot about it in there for a good 3 minutes and needless to say, it melted into nothing. When I opened the door it leaked out all over the counter.
Then I burned the bacon to a crisp while cleaning the butter up. There is still a nasty burnt bacon scent hanging in the apartment.

All this could have been avoided with the butter stick.

i came up tear away tabs on the 6pack plastic rings for soda. you know, to save the ducks. pepsi came up with it a few years later... i was really mad.

did anyone else have "invention convention" in elementary and/or middle school? it's like science fair but for inventions.
