Things I wish they'd invent

instant water.

just add… you know…

Some kind of suction machine for those days when you’re really stuffed up. Kind of like what the dentist has.

Ok, I know that they already have such things, because, to my surprise, the pretty young doc used one on me recently. But how about a home version?

a babel fish…

I’d say the easiest way to measure the gas left in the canister is a pressure monitor on the outlet with an analogue face. Obviously the higher the pressure, the more gas is left inside.

It shouldn’t cost more than a couple of hundred NT.

As for the male contraceptive pill, its still in testing phase last time I heard.

I think the winning prize goes to BFM with his ipod trousers!

Jaboney,

You mustn’t have kids… the hospital gave us one for each our kids when they were born.

Seconded.

I wish they’d invent replicators…you know, the things on Star Trek, that can make any food, drink or clothes with a spoken command…

Also, cars with nanotechnology that can repair dents, scrapes and the like by themselves. Last I heard, Nissan was working on a paint that repair scuffs and small scratches just by pouring water over it though so maybe we’re not too far away from it.

Instead of talking and wishing … invent it yourself, there is money in it …

[quote=“Joesox”]I want hot fizzy drinks, and a comfortable bathtub that is kind to your back, offers a reasonable depth of water without wasting too much water, and keeps most parts of you warm but without boiling the family jewels. (Actually I have a mental design for the bath already. No progress on the hot fizzy drinks though).[/quote]They’re here! I don’t have a microwave though - anyone like to try this and report back?

I’ve been putting a glass of HeySong Sarsaparilla in the microwave for a few years now (no, not the same glass … uhg…). It’s really good on cold days. I’m not sure how I came up with the idea. It seemed like a good idea at the time. :bow:

A replicator would throw a real monkey wrench into the intellectual property issue! Imagine replicating money! Gold!! Diamonds!! No wonder they abolished money in the Star Trek universe!

Reckon I could ask the 7-Eleven staff to heat it for me, same as they do with the milk cartons? Might need a bit of explaining.

Well, I brought this up in another thread, but this seems like the perfect place to repeat the plea…

Deafness drug. As in, a pill that makes you deaf for a few hours. Enough to get to sleep, endure a noisy environment you can’t escape from when ear plugs just don’t cut it.

Thanks in advance.
