I met with a Indian lady this morning and she was all covered in baby powder. On her darker skin colour it was so obvious. But if baby powder could be coloured in some way to suit darker skin colours??? Imagine a soft blue powder for boys and a light pink for baby girls also.

In India and other developing countries, there is lot of fraud in petrol stations. All the existing fuel meters do not give how much is filled in the tank by the station person. My thought is to come up with a digital fuel meter which says what is the current level in the tank and after filling the fuel, what is the new level, and also a difference to indicate the amount of fuel dispensed. This is a great value addition to all the owners and thus reducing the fraud.

An interface allowing people to find many others who are lookalikes (or nearly lookalikes) of themselves, and then enable them to compare notes with each other re: possible shared tendencies/tastebuds/etc. It could enable people to upload images of themselves whereupon a 'Face Recognition Bot' would guide them in dragging their JPEG to an area of other JPEGs most closely matching their image in an array. A numeric equivalent to such an array is: 11 12 22 23 33 34 44 45 55 56 66 67...

Develop a new reality TV series called "Scared Single", to save young guys from making a terrible mistake by getting married. The show would take newly engaged couples and do a swap with a forty-something couple, sending the young guy to live with the forty-something housewife and her kids. If after the swap period and all the "great" times that went with it the guy still decides to get married, the show will pay for the wedding. If the show does its duty and the guy comes to his...

On dvd, an entire day of tv from a day in the 50's or 60's. Commercials and all. Let's say nyc market. Lots of us old baby boomers from there. I know I was a tv addict. The old cartoons gigantor, astroboy, and 8th man. The soupy sales show. That weird show on channel 5 with the chin puppets. Dawn of sesame street and the spanish stuff.

I think to have a non water based unconductive sanitising solution for my keyboard at work would be great. It's probably a bit grim because nothing to clean it with.

Ever since I started managing my own camera I have encountered the same problem time and time again. I would develop my photos and put them in the album. Then I would notice that I missed out a picture, and it was out of place. Now who doesn't like having all their pictures in exact order? Most people would start the tedious job of taking out all the photos just to put in the one missing photo. While others will just put it in out of order. But I have come up with the perfect solution to...

Ever wonder where new words come from? Especially with terms dealing with everyday life and culture, by the time they're widely accepted, there's often no way to trace their origins. Let's change that by introducing a new word right here on this site: Pooly - adj., interesting or intriguing in a cool and creative way Let's all try to use this word once a week in everyday conversation or in writing, and see how quickly it spreads.

Formation of a new national park bisecting the Great Plains States from the Canadian border in the north to the Mexican border in the south. Essentially a strip of land wide enough to provide grazing for a migrating buffalo herd, or two. - Benifits... --For the environment would be in providing a migration corridor for the flora and fauna which used to travel freely north and south, according to the season. --For the states along the migration route would be in tourist dollars,...

There is a lot of talk lately of merging cell phones and PDAs (Palms, portable computers). This is sensible in that you can select an address from your PDA and just call it, rather than carry two devices around. But you're still carrying at least one extra device, that you can drop, break, lose, get wet, etc. My idea is to merge cell phones and PDAs with something we carry with us anyway -- the wallet. If you open a trifold wallet, you can see that it is an ideal screen space for a...
