If You Could Invent 1 Thing What Would It Be?

[sparrow]

If I could invent one thing it would be........

A time displacement device, so i could go an get pissed with my mates as much as i wanted without loosing time with the wife and littlen

if i could invent more than one thing..... perpetual energy, telportation, soma, knowledge implants, something that let you take off and glide when you flap your arms, a don't be an arsehol_e beacon, an instant heal bandage, cigarretts that are good for you, hovver boards, something that let you imajine an object or thing an let it become real (only with confirmation blink of the eyes incase you imajined somin nasty by accident, couldn't just have any old imajinary thing popping in to existence willynilly now could we), hhmmmm something that would let me expirence and see and rember the posible out comes and subsequent possable threads of life and so on from all previous decisions and actions from within this life without forfitting what is current; maybe not, porrobable my brain might melt.

I would invent a kind of post that would attract particular people to read a thread. I could have used it here, for example, to summon Blinky Bill to this thread.

[Blinky Bill]

Thankyou Razza.

If I could invent something useful it would be a device that automatically deleted inane threads on Internet Forums.

[Rasseru]

Thankyou Razza.

No, thank you, Blinky.

[Thaddeus]

Can I have a pint of what the OP has had ....... second thoughts, make it a half, I don't want to overdo it.

I would invent jobs for those that have too much time on their hands that all they do is get on Internet forums and 'thank' each other.....
