Million Dollar Ideas: Reusable Ice Cubes

There are several things wrong with ice cubes. I can fix all of those problems, and make them the ultimate drink cooler downer. In fact, this may be a two million dollar idea!

The biggest problem is the creation of the ice cubes. Right now, you have 3 options:

1. Buy ice at a store
2. Use an ice machine in your freezer
3. Fill and freeze ice trays
4. Live in an igloo friendly climate (not an option for most of us)

The problem with buying ice at a store is quite simply the amount of effort. It costs money, and can melt on the trip back, but the actual trip is what deters most potential ice buyers. If it's hot outside, and you want ice inside, you'd have to drive to the store (in the heat), buy the ice, and then drive back (in the heat) and that's just plain silly.

Ice makers are great, but expensive. If you've got one, then you probably already have a million dollars of something of equal or greater value. I hate you. If you give me your ice maker, maybe we can be friends. Maybe...

And lastly, ice trays. 87% of Americans use ice trays to provide them with fresh, clean, three dimensional chunks of ice. Less then 3% of those people enjoy filling up those trays (usually seen wearing hockey helmets). While this may not compare with taking a trip to a store to get ice, it's still extra effort.
Don't:

• spill the water
• fill the trays up too high
• under fill the trays
• knock them over in the freezer
• try to use them before the water is fully frozen
• let anyone fill the trays with poison

Who wants to deal with a"Don't" list this large? I sure don't. I bet you don't either. So don't look any farther! The solution lies with reusable ice cubes. A solid outer shell and a quick freezing inside.

With this new invention, you'll never have to fill or spill ice trays again! Just throw them in the freezer and take them out when you need something coldified.

Cold soda that isn't watered down by ice? Stop the presses!

Million Dollar Ideas: Bad Idea Hat

We all have friends that have kept us from doing stupid things, like canoeing in a lightning storm or drinking the entire can of concentrate. Unfortunately, due to work, sleep and other stuff, those friends can't keep you in check all the time. Now who's going to persuade you to do the right thing?

Never fear! The Bad Idea Hat is here!
It's everything you wanted, AND MORE!

Since crickets can't talk, and I've never meet a cricket named Jiminy, I've created the next best thing. The Bad Idea Hat straps to your head, and links directly with your brain. When you think a bad idea, the hat sends electric signals to your arm which persuades you to rethink your actions.Say goodbye to:

• using your cell phone while driving
• smoking in front of children
• picking your nose too much
• borrowing money with your car title
  

And much much more!

Buy 4 of my apples...

The economy is in bad shape. I mean bad shape. It's almost a triangle, and I won't stand for it any longer.

Blankets. Not just for warmth.

A long time in the sun doing yard work sucks. A long time in the sun doing any work sucks. Going inside isn't an end to the agony. The A/C may be nice, you can't sit anywhere! No one wants a pool of sweat seeping through the butt grove of their couch or recliner. Walking upstairs to take a shower is out of the question, as you are exhausted from working outside. What ever will you do!?

Look no further, as the magical interwebs have provided me with a solution:

YES! It's Shire's Arctic Blast Cooling Rug! It's so big, it can fit a horse! Never be caught without one folks. This may seem like opposite day, but it's not. They make blankets that cool you down now. With this new invention I believe the scientists can get closer to the sun without over heating, which is a big problem.

Has anyone seen my meds?

Escalators: Moving Mankind Forward... and upward

I've always been fascinated by escalators and their retarded cousin, the moving walkway. We've all been on them at the airport. We've all been stuck behind some group of people who don't want to walk on the moving walkway. But then again, why would you want to double your walking speed? I you wanted to do that, you could just run on an non-moving walkway.

- WHAT!? - It's a moving walk-way?

If you don't want to move a muscle, I'm okay with that. Just do so in a manner that does not disturb those around you. Moving walkway and escalator etiquette dictates that rules of the road apply:

1. Slower traffic (including stopped traffic) must yield the left side to faster traffic.
2. All traffic will move in the same direction.
3. Don't be a douche.

Those in violation of these rules, or the use of "asphyxiating gas, or any other kind of gas, liquids, substances or similar materials" as outlined by Geneva Protocol, shall receive no mercy.

For all of you architects out there: WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?

I understand that people are lazy, but this is flipping ridiculous. This has nothing to do with ADA because people in wheelchairs can't use escalators. This escalator serves ONLY the lazy. And you guessed it! It's in NJ. Home of the tallest trash heap and the shortest escalator.

I guess it could have alternative uses...

Robert, install an escalator to man-town and I'll give you $20.
