Pictures That Prove We're Living In The Future

(Image Link)

We may not be living in the personal jet packs and flying cars future sci-fi made us dream about, but our 21st century world is pretty futuristic.

Or maybe we should start referring to the the world we live in , and the tech we've integrated into our lives, as modernistic, because the future is now.

We've got prosthetic hands that can be 3D printed and built in less than 48 hours, hundreds of gigabytes of memory in our tiny SD cards, and one little smartphone replaced eight different devices.

And speaking of that most futuristic form of reproduction 3D printing we can now use a pen to "print" a 3D "drawing", we can print out chocolate in any shape we want, and we can create the ultimate birthing memento- a 3D print of your unborn child.

If that ain't futuristic I don't know what is!

My mother had a heart valve replaced in the late '70s. It involved open heart surgery, so she was on a heart-lung machine while the surgeons cut her chest apart, sawed through her ribcage, cut open her heart and replaced the valve. It was brutal, but she lived long enough to out-live her heart surgeon. It was amazing.
My mother in law had her heart's aortic valve replaced three weeks ago. They threaded a long catheter through a vein in her leg that was pushed all the way into her heart. With a miracle of origami, the capsule on the end of the catheter was opened up inside her beating heart to displace the damaged valve and clamp onto the sides of the opening in one action. She was in the hospital overnight, and the next day we drove 230 miles back home from the hospital. She's watching TV in the living room.
To think that I should have lived to see such wonders . . .

They should put stickers (Little red dots or something) on the lids of all of a store's pickle jars and only that one store (Preferably a big store that's likely to get hit). Then anybody who finds a jar of pickles with a red dot on it knows it was stolen from that store (the stickers will be removed when purchased)!

Inject some of the pickles in each batch with a weak radioactive isotope in different quantities depending on the batch. If any significant amount of the batch is stolen, one of the pickles can be identified by measuring the amount of remaining radioactive isotope.. The isotopes should be fine in the body because they use that stuff all the time for MRI experiments.

Well it's easy enough to permanently mark the cucumbers somehow in the future if such security is of interest to the farmer, but the real problem here is how to track this year's crop, or the portion that has gone out already.

I'm sure the structure of the cucumbers could be examined, and different markers exclusive to their home patch could be identified, but frankly, who's going to spend that kind of money for testing.

No doubt, everyone knows everyone in the local pickle industry. Eventually, some stranger is going to show up with a big crop of cucumbers (or pickles) to sell and it's going to tip off the others. Police can come in ask for the paper trail and hopefully pin them down that way.

Unless the crooks are about to make a bunch of salad or relish...

well, the answer is obvious.
He wants to do something so dastardly, so unpredictable, that it would leave Dr. Doofenshmirtz in shambles!

As a result of the current economic crisis McDonald's was forced to lay off some long term employees.The Hamburglar had snuck in to corporate and saw his name on the chopping block list. The Hamburglar hatched a brilliant scheme to trade keeping his coveted position by offering up free pickles to the global conglomerate. McDonald's agreed. The Hamburglar proceeded to pull off the largest cucumber heist the world has ever seen and has the fry guys working double time turning them into pickles.

I would have tainted a batch with laxatives.
Once a neighborhood complains of diarrhea, ask them who they bought from.
Also those people will be deterred from buying black market produce.

2 birds, 1 stone
