A Million Useless Thoughts

In response "Thought 14 - Perpetual Cat" sugarbumkin said, "The same theory could be applied to balloons tied to kindergarteners at recess. I like it." Well this got me thinking... Clothes with that are laced with MEMS generators. A MEMS generator is a solid state electronic circuit that generates low level of current though passive motion of the environment. Things like temperature change, acceleration, and even Brownian motion are converted to power using a MEMS generator. So, now we have attached them to small free moving bipeds of pure energy. How do we get the energy back. I figure that we isolate the playground into a large battery configuration where the children are running around on a conductive plate that makes contact with the heels of their shoes. They will run around with a super capacitor in addition to the MEMS, when their feet touch the ground the super-cap is discharged into the conductive plate underneath them. I do not think that the childr

Currently have a few friends going through some rough times, and they are all smart talented people. So, I'd figure I'd put up one of my observations of the world. The curse of genius as I see it, is that the world is flawed, imperfect, and broken, that it need to refined, perfected, and fixed. The genius will pursue to endlessly this goal, it is this view that the world could be may better that makes a genius look so incredibly smart and talented to those around them. However, the pursuit has in itself a dangerous flaw, that not everything can be refined, perfected, or fixed. It is upon internal realization of this flaw comes an inevitable choice: Continue the pursuit, the rules be damned, things will be changed! or find a quieter more stable path fixing minor things. I find that the first usually comes with a very high price tag. One, sadly, I decided was too high. The stable path does not mean that interests cannot be followed or world fixed, just that flaws in the

While I believe in Newton's 2nd law. Here is my perpetual motion machine. Similar, but not quite the same as the buttered toast and cat. Strap 6 cats to a balloon. Drop the 6 cat. Each cat will attempt to move itself into position as to land on its feet, thus moving the other 5 cats around the balloon. This will build up a massive static charge which we can then hardness for power.

Ok, this is a stupid thought. But oh well. Imagine altering a first person shooter to be a redone in all lolcats fashion. That is cats running around saying lol cats things like "I'm N UR base, kill'n' UR Dudez." And getting power ups in the form of cheese burgers. I think it needs more maybe a "om nom nom nom" gun of some sort that eats the cats or whatever. Maybe just make this an Meme FPS just so we can kill all of the meme's in a glorious fashion. I guess that this would require a Rick Ashley sound track. Oh god the horror... Ending thought now before my brain explodes.

Finally cracked this one after many years of trying to break these types of things, because well, they just logically bug me. The glass, half full or half empty? The problem lacks enough information, so we need to add that information in. What information you ask as this is supposed to be a question to determine if you are an optimist or pessimist? Simple is someone pouring liquid into the glass or is someone drinking from the glass? If someone is pouring the glass then they are filling it, therefore it would be half full. If however the glass is being drunk from, the person is emptying the glass, making it, therefore, half empty.

Had an odd thought about a comic series/graphic novel. Just random/useless thought: A comic set the DC universe, though any would work. The idea: Janitors sick of cleaning up all of the messes decide to stop the fighting between the Heroes and Villains, by defeating them all. Background: The original stone cutters were the working class, in a secret, yet open society of janitors and maintainence men, they meet to discuss their plans to stop the Justice League. The joke: The comic is a normal plot line with various janitors, window washers, etc, all lurking the background of cells, just "doing their job". However as the plot grows it turns out they have been spying on and setting up the Justice League and the Legion of Doom, slow getting them to fight and defeat each other. All the while gathering blue prints from Lex Corp, Wayne Enterprises, Star Labs, and other high tech or government facilities. The inspiration: G.I. Joe's "The Viper": A window wiper u
