Thought 49: Clone of Your Own

Skit: "A guide on how to clone oneself"

[name] Here. Have you ever found yourself needing a second set of hands [examples of hard tasks], but the help just doesn't quite understand you. Well have I got the perfect solution, a clone. With a clone, for better or worse, at least you'll exactly what kind of help you've got.

But, [name], I do not have a expensive bio-science lab with cloning tanks. Well then have I got the cheap home-grown-clone-kit for you, and I already know that it works, but more on that later.

If you're like me, you come home filthy at the end the day and need a bath, which is where incidentally I do most of my best thinking. One day it struck me, one of those running down the street naked ideas, that I was wasting all of those skin cells and bits of hair at the bottom of the tub. If only there were some way I could utilize those cells to make a clone of myself. What I needed was an organic filter to capture all of that lovely biological material and help it grow. That right when the idea of using bread came to mind, not the ordinary kind of bread, that kind of bread that's been sitting on the counter for week and has become rock solid, either that or hard as rock kind made by Pierre down the street. (Hold up a piece of bread). The bread will be spongy enough to let the water flow through, while collecting all of the hair and skin, plus it'll provide nutrients for your newly growing clone.

Now, what you do is place the bread at the drain of the tub, careful to make sure its large enough not to go down the drain, or clog it up, first time I did this, backed up the whole septic system, what a mess that was. Any-who, once the bread's in place, you wait.

After about a week you'll start see signs of your clone start to form. (hold up a piece of moldy bread, covered in hair).

In about a month or in it starts to take a more organic form. (pull some green borax and glue from a bowl.) Now at this point you might want to start bathing with a mask to help keep back the smell. To be honest, I was not sure which was worse, the clone's or mine.

In a couple more months, it'll start bubbling, taking shape, and taking up the whole tub. Oh! And if you feel something bite you, it just means that clone needed a little bit of blood, and it's time to get a second tub! (dry ice mix, or air pump, in cornstarch-water mix to make the whole mess bubble, but still be a liquid, add some solidish objects, like plastic bones to make it start looking real, mix red and green food coloring.)

And finally after 8 months, if your wife, or the paranormal investigators do not put a swift end to your alter self, you'll have improved on the normal human process by one month, and have my friend here. (reveal monster and shake hands with monster).

A chip of old block, if you ask me. (fade, with monster eating our orator).

Thought 18 - Cat Boxes

Point one today (from the wife): Does it seem odd that we wrap up cat and dog, poo and pee into plastic bag to be effectively preserved for millions of years. Just think of what future archeologist will think. I guess this does stem from the fact that cats and dogs, and well just about every other animal on the planet as been peeing and pooping, when ever and where ever they please. Granted we'd have a bit of a smell problem if everyone went where ever, but we developed sanitation for a reason! Further most animals poo is beneficial to plants as fertilizer. Well, not really dog and cat poo, but why not just flush this stuff? or compost it in a 'hot' compost pile. Well it turns out we're not that bad, they do make flushable/compostable kitty litter. Oddly they charge more for them despite using things like ground corn cobs, pine pellet, wheat staff, i.e. other industry waste products, so why more expensive? or better if you have a yard why not grow corn, wheat, and

Thought 44: Phone Home

This is actually two thoughts in one, but they are both phone related. Thought 44.1: The backside keyboard. We created the typewriters since 1829 and they've use all of our fingers in an effort to create efficiency. We have even created varieties of key layouts such as qwerty and Dvorak to improve the typing speed. Then we took a huge step backwards and created the cell phone with only the 12 buttons for typing, reducing not only the number of keys by the number of fingers usable on those keys. Then we made the thought that if we just replicate the full qwerty things would be better. And to some extend they are, but we still are reduced to just 2 fingers, or rather thumbs to type with. Then it struck me, the full key set could go on the back of the phone. Well at first it seems rather stupid how do you see the keys to type on them, but does/should a touch typist ever look at the typewriter or keyboard? No. The buttons on the back could be a full qwerty keyboard split and r

Thought 16 - Kid Power

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
