It helps to know people from Nigeria.

It's actually my fist question to this board, but now I've worked out how to do it I can think of some proper questions

How about like, a wish list system that isn't tied to one store (but could hook into stores for commission, advertising revenues etc.)? If you're not buying online, then the SMS/WAP bit comes in as a final means of checking that no one else has bought the thing yet.

I'm in favor of a new candy bar that has a wafer base covered with butterscotch-flavored nougat, with the whole thing coated in chocolate. No one has yet exploited the butterscotch-candybar market.

I'd buy one of those - it sounds delicious!

The person who manages to get my cell phone, palm, and laptop (all of which have infrared ports) to sync up with 1 address book, 1 datebook & 1 set of notes between all 3 would probably do pretty well- I can't be the only frustrated nerd who can't get the three of them to get along.

Dimes! mmmm

five years pass...

A toilet with no less than three lids. Why? Because you need an extra lid or you're a disgusting filthy slob and no one will ever sleep with you.

1. invent how to farm alaskan king crab
2. breed miniature giraffes that only grow to be about five feet tall

3. create a device that automatically counts down from a set figure the number of words said during meetings

Nigerian spammers to thread!

― Aimless, Thursday, 4 October 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

Man I would LOVE a miniature giraffe. I am now going to think this through and most likely conclude that it would be impractical.
