Genius Level Ideas

Well it is kind of late for this year - but plenty of time for next year. The perfect Halloween costume. This guy is a genius. And even when it is not Halloween, this guy could help lower health care costs. His not so high tech machine looks like it could be constructed for less than $10.

It appears that his machine only uses visual detection methods. While this is a start, I think I can improve on the idea and add a tactile screening method as well as visual. I got a while to tinker with some designs. Halloween 2008 is a long way off.

But there are other ideas that fit into this time of year. Like my "mistletoe on a stick" idea. It is pretty simple. You get a stick, some string, and a sprig of mistletoe. Tie the mistletoe to the stick using the string so that it hangs a little.

Now you have mistletoe on a stick! At the holiday party you can use the stick to place the mistletoe over anyone at the party. And then cop a smooch.

Conversely, you can take a wire clothes hanger, some mistletoe, and a Santa hat. Now you can rig the wire hanger so it suspends some mistletoe over you. Then go talk to the hot chicks at the party. And cop a smooch.

NOTE - ALCOHOL IS YOUR FRIEND HERE. If there is no booze at the party, then it probably is not going to work. And what the hell - if it is an office party and you know some coworkers are hot.....what happens at the office party is soon plastered all over the company. You will be LEGENDARY. From that point on you will be "that guy in accounting who made out with all the hot single chicks at the company party". Songs will be sung of your deeds. Everyone will be in awe of you.

Or you will get canned.

This is why I like to keep a photocopy my ass on file. You never know when you may need to slip it into the company mail with a note explaining all the places someone can kiss when you are on your way out the door. Bonus points if the photocopy of your ass contains your frank and beans somehow.
