Are you talking about my underpants again?  *raises eyebrow*

I would dearly love to, but the walls have ears and loose talk costs lives.

Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual could believe them (Orwell).

The Magic Pudding

Mine is akin to the car washing machine, 'tis a car with manoeuvrable vacuum hose with which I can steal desirable hats.  It's almost perfected except sometimes peoples heads block the intake if their hat's on too tight.  I'll probably add robot arms to grab legs and pull in opposition to the sucker.

A niche product but if it deters people from the ridiculous affectation of wearing hats it should be well received.

The FSM will smite you for that, just see if he don't.

A motor-car combined with washing machine and tumble- dryer, with backseats that reconfigure into an ironing board. Perfect for house- spouses who are caught in lengthy traffic jams on the school run or on the way to the out -of- town hypermarket to avail of Discount Day. It's one of those ideas that just seems so obvious once you hear it.

That's quite the acute target market.

I think the driving experience would be less emotionally destructive if "Sorry" and "Thank You" indicator lights came standard with turning signals on automobiles.

It appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against Christianity and theism produce hardly any effect on the public; and freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science - Charles Darwin

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the object of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a god, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. - Albert Einstein

Religion is a by product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity. - Arther C. Clarke

Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Something that I could use to raid and sack the nearest Pepsi or Coca Cola factory. Since all of you guys are so creative, I could use some ideas. ;D

Asmo, I was considering one of your trademark death rays asteroid harvester strategic bomber, but I need the infrastructure wholly intact - and that includes every bottle. ;D

I think they'd sell better if the wording was a touch more obscene and insulting. ;)

What a veritable geyser of creativity I have unloosed.

Hmmmmmph.  You're probably planning on stealing all of our ideas and amassing a small "As Seen On TV" fortune. 

I have already advertised for a butler, a cook, a chauffeur, a French Chambermaid, a gardener, an under- gardener, a resident DJ  and a dwarf for teasing.

What's the salary like?
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.
"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt." ― Richard P. Feynman
'It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.' - Terry Pratchett
Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

En_Route Global inc will line your palm with silver, which should contrast pleasingly with bronze. We might even be persuaded  to throw in a few Modcloth vouchers if you play hard to get.
