Did you ever wonder who the inventor is?

    I'm talking about inventions that are supposed to make our lives a little easier, more convenient, more pleasant......

    Take for example that new-fangled flashlight that's been in TV ads for the past year.

    It doesn't require batteries. That's just wonderful, because battery-operated "conveniences" can have expensive feeding habits.

    If you're a guy, you can really "groove" on the method used to power up this non-battery-operated flashlight.

    BUT.....if you're a woman, it'll make you feel like a "Richard Cranium," not to mention how fast your forearm will wear out and get sore.

    Because of these little tidbits of info, I'm thinking that while I don't know who invented the flashlight (non-battery-operated), what I DO know is that he's a master......bater.

    How about yall? Got any new gimmicks/inventions you've heard of or used that deserve commentary?

    I am a long time subscriber to Popular Mechanics and consumer reports as well as a former sales manager for a firm that manufactured a very sophisticated piece of equipment that was patented by my boss and who was also the owner of the company. I often see very clever and unique items that really leave me in awe of the inventor. i am setting in front of one invention right now that totally impresses me.

    The flashlight you refer to uses the same technology as a small radio that employs muscle power to create electricity and I understand that a computer is in the works to operate the same way!

    (GASP!!!) No WAY! Who in their right mind could even contemplate having people sit and (jackoff) shake a computer like it's some kind of milkshake just to power it up?!!!

    (snicker/snort) Yep, Butters, I can see how inspiring he's been in that venue.

    dear carmel...

    you're not fooling anyone that has read the Book...Haggai 2:4-5...

    The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, the excellency of our God. Isaiah 35:1-2

    well... any beautiful sheep expects to be fleeced...didn't he?

    love michelle
