    Iron Man suit, but a cyclist version that deploys when the sensors sense danger or collision or extreme tilt or yaw or roll.

    I'd like to see someone invent a street sweeper. Something like a zamboni that sucks up the bits until it can be unloaded like a harvester. My streets are drifting with sands they put down in winter. And, there seems to be a conundrum about pensions for past public employees, which is probly why if there is a such a street sweeping machine, its up on blocks somewhere as a museum relic. Kids come and wonder, mouths agape, of a time when dinosaurs didn't rule.

    A way to patch a hole in the road that will still give a smooth ride a few months later.

    A thermometer with a loud alarm that could be put on a pan on the stove. When the contents reach a set temperature, the alarm goes off. I need one. I'm always boiling stuff over. It has to be loud in case I leave the room.
    more cops have been killed by donuts than guns in chicago it is a medical fact ask any doctor.

    sounds like a digital meat thermometer. I have one that has a temp-alarm and timer built into it.

    The problem with most cell jammers (I have one) is that they also jam GPS signals.

    I would like a targeted EMP device that can knock out loud, obnoxious, thumping car stereos.

    If you sprayed a cat with a spray that repels cat hair, what happens?
    Flying a jet is no different than riding a bicycle. It's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

    A coffee cup and beer mug that keep the contents at the proper temp no matter what. A lightweight six-pack-plus-sandwich sized cooler that stays at a constant 33 degrees.

    And a flying saucer/RV.

    so a combo toilet/garbage disposal?
    Punctuation is important. It's the difference between "I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse" and "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse"

    I meant that street sweepers have been around for decades. I believe that your roads are a mess. Springtime roads can be a dangerous sandbox for two-wheeled travel in the Midwest too.

    You might not need one if you add a bit of bran to your diet.
