Let’s make boots either from a substance whose surface friction property changes based on an electrical charge, or from two substances, one has very low friction and the other very high friction. The high friction one can be disabled remotely to allow the low friction surface to come in to contact with the ground.

Why? Because kids wear boots with little wheels in them that act like roller skates. So how about a pair of “ice skates” on their feet instead. These ice skates would work on almost any flat surface. It would be like sliding around in your socks on a highly polished floor.

You could also create a set of gloves out of this. It could well turn in to the new extreme sport.

You know what life is missing?

An inflatable pool table.

Oh, and an inflatable ping-pong table too.

That would really allow me to own both, and not have the storage issues.

Why can’t cat litter be made washable? The litter could be made of non-clumping, small plastic, bio-degradable, odour absorbing beads, looking much like Fresh Step Crystals, that are washable. Rather than throwing litter away every day or so, you’d just rinse it off in detergent, let it dry, and put it back in to the litter pan. Buy a new bag of washable litter once a year to replace the litter that has been lost due to the cats tracking it through the house, or when you were scooping out the clumps of kitty poop.

There could even be special kitty litter pan, much like the automated ones that exist now, that wash, dry and recycle the cat litter automatically.

I’ve been eating a lot of Subway sandwiches recently as that is about the only other place around here to eat that isn’t pizza.

I like their tuna salad sandwiches, but a 12″ tuna sandwich gets to be a bit much after a while.

And I like their grilled chicken breast sandwiches, but that gets a bit bland too if you order a 12″ sub.

So I usually order a 6″ tuna and 6″ chicken breast meal deal. This gives me a 12″ sub with two different fillings.

I’m not sure why Subway don’t this? Either way I just sent them an e-mail via their automated form on their website. I doubt I’ll hear anything back but it is worth a shot. Who knows, a year from now I wouldn’t have the hassle of trying to make the counter staff understand I want two sandwiches.
