I Wish They Would Invent...

Some sort of teflon skin coating that would make bathing obsolete. Yes, I am that lazy.

What would you like to see invented?

Or a pill that would magically increase your metabolism to insane levels. Again, lazy.

A "Save Game" feature for my life, so I can go do risky/insane/funny stuff without having to die or go to prison. That'd be cool.

Teflon wouldn't work; if anything it would trap the sweat and nastiness in, which would eventually turn green and start growing hair or something.

I have a solution, though. Through simple genetic modification, it's possible to make a human sweat soap.

And spit lighter fluid. An unfortunate side effect. No more smoking.

ditto.

A call Freckle or Get Punched in the Gut Day.

That would be a good invention.

Oh, and rocket pants.

It's always a nice feeling when somebody else completely "gets" your idea, rather than needing part of it explained.

water prrof glasses,, water just doesn't even touch them, isantant ability to alter body physiology

heh... you know you are awesome

Keith, this confirms that you and I are really separated at birth, and it's kinda scary...

I want something that could shave me perfectly...then I'd be happy...

"Get out of Jail free" cards. Everyone could get about 12 or so.

I love you KeithD... er Keithed.

A plate, bowl, or other container than NEVER gets dirty, ever. You could use it for anything from storing rusty nails to drinking water to a receptacle for vital chemicals used in a surgery, without ever needing washed.

It would work on a basis of nano-irrigation. Billions of tiny nanites (robots smaller than a micron in size) would constantly break down and reform the entire surface of the container, making it impossible for any kind of foreign substance from ever making a chemical bond to it. Therefore, the contents of the container never actually "touch" the surface of the container.

Neat, eh?

Also, x-ray specs. The ones I ordered from the back of my Honey-Nut-Busters cereal with three proofs of purchase and a SASE don't work. All they do is make it hard to see.

On the basis of this post alone, would you be my friend please?

We can talk crap together for months and months and also attempt some cross-channel humour,,,

I want a bell that I can ring for cervix.

I actually think that teflon coating would be great. Maybe not for cleanliness, but it'd be like having a built-in crazy carpete. You could just launch yourself down grassy hills on your belly.

A scramble suit...like in Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly.

and a time machine that pops you back 30 seconds...sort of like the instant replay on a Tivo.

Please elaborate.

body transplant

a device that records your dreams.

or the legion of super heroes flight ring.
