Bravo, Skipweasel! That is using your head.

There are recipes all over the Internet for solid alcohol. Look for "Jello Shots"

On a slightly more serious note: Your premise is sound, but your selection of disorders is, well, somewhere between silly and ridiculous.

A great case can be made for paranoia being an aid to survival and autism assisting the focus of geniuses. Diabetes is good in areas that alternate feast and famine. And these are just off the top of my head.

Dust container from a pneumatic duster.

Coffee grinder hopper.

News Flash: People complain about their spouses to their friends. Plot twist: the complaints are petty and unfounded.

This is not news and not especially neat unless the point of the post is to once again show the stupidly obvious crap that gets "researched".

You could hike through jungles for a lifetime and never see something like this. What a great experience.

Going for two in a row: Match Holder also once called a Vesta.

"If we say that, we look like idiots."

"Who cares? We are right!"

I love that they call it "wallpaper". It is truly a great idea and deserves to be widely used, but it will never be fashion choice.

Neat idea, not!

My hot drink gets cooler and my cold drink get warmer? Kind of the anti-thermos. I predict that the concept tanks. I, myself, like drinks to stay pretty much at the temperature they start out at.

Egg candler and scale. Eggs are sold by weight per dozen, so the scale is 12 times the actual weight.

Codename Bulldog sites his next target.

Friggin' awesome!

Skipweasel, go for it. If you do, be sure to show up photos of the work in progress and that tool.

There are no fairy tales about someone getting a job, working hard for twenty years and buying the company. There are no fairy tales about marrying your school sweetheart and raising a family for 30 blissful years.

They are fairy tales. Fairies pop in for no reason and save the day. It is a literary device called "Deus Ex Machina" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina). Anyone who thinks the characters and their actions in fairy tales are role models needs to literarily grow up.

It'll never get used. Even if the system gets invented and approved, no one will voluntarily be one of the middle cars. If you want to drive, you want to drive. If you want to take a train, you take a train. Whatever cost/convenience trade-offs occur will not move a sizable portion of people from either group.
