For me it has to be the low carb trend. Or anything that has to do with baseball.

Hmm...instead of just another "listing" thread...what can we discuss that has some content and interaction between members...maybe something like talking briefly about the trends vs just a list that has no interaction/content. I don't have that great of ideas, do any of you guys have any good ideas?

What about politics, sex or religion? Oh, sorry- I forgot.

How about rusty glove boxes and dusty engine bays? Oops- strike twooo.....

I guess that pretty much leaves the advantages of case-hardened vs. forged steel........................yawn.

There are so many things I've thought about would make great products but it's too hard to become an "inventor". I want to use the portable phone locator button on a tv remote.

How about a smart traffic light, I sat at one tonight that was red for almost 4 minutes with not one single person driving through it the other way. I mean we can put a man on the moon...

A mute button so I wouldn't have to listen to them. Or maybe an erase button to solve the problem completely.

This question sounds like it came from one of the "The Anti-Coloring Book" coloring books I had as a kid. Each page had a different theme, like "If you could build a space ship, what would it look like?" or "Timmy has fallen down a well! Draw a contraption to get him out!"

True, you'd think there would be computer simulation and control that could handle maximization of the distance a car travels without stopping subject to an upper bround on the amount of time someone has to wait at a light.
