Maybe you should drop out and aim for a different career path.


Or get off the internet and brainstorm some ideas.

a refrigerated life size pez-like dispenser for any 12 oz can. Minimizes energy loss and space loss and increases cooling efficiency.

my friend told me her idea a few years ago and it's still not around yet I don't think.

a tv remote that has rechargable batteries. you have a dock on the side of your tv to put the remote in to charge it. if you loose your tv remote there's a 'call' button on the charger just like a cordless phone. no more buying batteries for your remote and no more looking for your lost remote. all the technology has existed for decades, why not implement it here?

Either
a) a dull knife so you can't cut yourself on it or
b) a sharp fork so you can cut things easily with one hand

I'm in his class, we have thought of numerous ideas, however known were remotely acceptable. For example, the porta-shower was one, as well as a Shoe clip, and a mid-sole replacer.

Porta-shower- a universal shower, with a diverse set of nozzles in order for one to shower on the go. Specifically, used via, urinals, toilets, sprouts and sinks.

Shoe clip- Holds the not in your shoe lace so that ones' shoe lace would not come undone.

Mid-sole replacer- A midsole that can be replaces universally so that one can keep shoes that have recently been damaged. Utilized through two bottoms on the front and back sides of the show as well as velcro.


A fart-box- A box that attaches to the anal section of your body, so that one can fart problem free in all situations.

false. I bought this thing off of amazon that looks like a little space shuttle, it charges my remote batteries, but they're weird batteries, not normal ones, and when you put them in your remote, it changes the sensor on your remote to infared so that it works through walls and cabinets.

That way I have all of my receivers and cable boxes neatly installed in a cabinet where you can't see, and the remotes work from anywhere in the house- no line of sight needed.

I know-- mind=blown. Wasn't even very expensive.

here's my invention idea, and someone will become very rich from it.

High heels with slide out click-lock heels, so they can become flats. Business women who take the bus or need to walk to meetings can toss their heels in their purse, and click them back in when reaching their destination. Fight attendants can walk though the airport with ease without having to change into their heels once on the flight, and drunk chicks at dance clubs/bars/weddings everywhere can pop them into flats when their feet get sore. do it, you will. I will then sue you for infringement. This is my plan.

Yeah except the point of heels is to cause pain, and that sounds comfortable.

A way for dudes to own a fleshlight without the shame and self-loathing that come free with every purchase. You'd make millions.

Isnt the major difference between heels and flats the fact that the insole of a heel is curved and stiff to support your foot whereas the insoles of flats are flat and soft so you can walk? I feel like if you took the riser thing off heels the shoe would be super uncomfortable to walk around in.

Truthfully, we are in an entrepreneur major. As of right now countless people have already purchased the fart-box and believe me it's a wonderful hit. Holding in gas upsets your stomach and only increases gas. However, now the F-Box not only prevents the odor of farts but interests and bedazzles one into farting more often. Farting has never been better in my school. Through rigorous studies we have concluded that 68% of our school, feels obligated to hold in a fart, which only generates more gas. WHen one is markedly nervous they simply have the urge to fart but commit to holding it in. Now the more you fart the better you smell, simple logic.

A device that you poop into and it transforms the poop into miniature Rosie odonnell statues, then freezes them and you get to throw them at people such as hookers, gypsies, white kids, etc

You should capitalize letters. I am not illiterate I just choose not to re-read and subsequently fix my work. I believe you corrected my grammar, becuase you are simply jealous of my invention.

how's your punctuation and diction?
also everything you've described has already been made in some form except the midsole replacer.
porta shower:

shoelace lock:

fart containing underwear:

also i'd love to know your logic behind "the more your fart, the better you smell"

I'm kidding, however the midsole replacer may work for individuals involved in rigorous athletic activities. I am obligated to target and manipulate tennis players. They would surely need this product.

ya because every sport shoe has the same patterned midsole. even if you made them sport specific (i.e: a pattern for tennis, a pattern for running, etc.) it wouldn't even be cost effective from a manufacturing standpoint to try and make most sizes per sport.

Well the only conclusion is creating my own shoe, never mind that idea also sucks. How about a leave-picker-upper. Its a rake that has a plastic scooper. Specifically, the handle of the rake holds a lever that controls the scooper. I have always had trouble with raking leaves as I was forced and abused by my farther to throw them over a stone wall. So i made effective use of two rakes, putting one under the leaves and one over the top of the leave pile. I simply compressed the rakes together and threw the leaves over the stone wall. I don't know how I would start though.

a ski pole with phillips and flat head tips and that unhinges beneath the grip to hold a drink if you're thirsty but is airtight and can lock to prevent spills.and you can unscrew above the grip to hide things within the grip area. i hope that makes sense
