This is based on a radio program (now also on TV).

Listeners/ viewers are invited to send in their genius ideas which are then analysed by the light hearted show and declared "genius" or "not genius".

So, just for fun, and if you like, you can post your genius idea hear and others can declare it "genius" or "not genius".

      Yes, Dave Gorman is a very clever chap, shame about the switch to TV though.
    2. Epicharis
      it does make the demonstrations more entertaining...
    3. polybore

    Here is polybore's genius idea regarding domestic heating. When you heat your home a lot of energy is used heating up the walls, the furniture and all the contents of your house. This is silly when it is just the people in the house that need to be warm.

    Polybore's solution is to use domestic microwave heating. Microwaves work best on heating materials with a high water content, like the human body, so will keep you nice and cosy without wasting energy on heating your home and contents.

    Save money and the environment by investing in Polybores microwave heating for your home.

    PING! Polybore is done anyone else?

      Not Genius...you would cook yourself...

      it would be all good except for the tumors
    4. polybore
      Yes, the levels of microwave radiation would need to be closely monitored.

    Adult Store Item; "Home Waterboarding Kit"
    1. polybore
      Interesting. But polybore finds when waterboarding someone that it is pretty easy to improvise using just common or garden household stuff, like handcuffs, chains, manacles.

      Is your kit portable, discrete or very cheap?
    2. Epicharis
      I think that rather than being just a fold-away waterboarding kit it should be glitzy....add a bit of glamour to your torture!

      SiuilARuin Like diamanté embedded with integral glitter ball stand?
    4. Epicharis
      exactly...anyone can put a tea-towel over someone's head...why not use black satin with a lace trim?
    5. polybore
      Nice but black satin does not go with everyone's skin tones. Maybe agit8r should include a variety of materials in different colurs.
    6. Epicharis
      Very good idea...a selection of fabrics to suit every mood...
    7. Agit8r
      Yeah, I know... how much could a watering can, zip-ties and saran wrap cost, right?
    8. polybore
      Agit8r your idea is shaping up, the zip ties and wrap could be stored in the watering can and the whole package would be nicely portable and innocuous looking.

      If you were to include a folding watering can, even better.

      Like this one

      I could totally see that in Target's seasonal display!

      Hmm yeah. Maybe you could do one with a car on it or in DPM for the boys.

    a fourth traffic light - blue, that is triggers when emergency vehicles need to pass. Because there's always some lout with his stero up too loud and not paying attention to the rearview mirrors
    1. xmarks
      genius
    2. polybore
      Genius although would suggest a fifth light also which shines black to allow polybore to pass.
    3. Sam1982
      how effective will that be at night though? or do you mean an actual black light?

      am I having a blonde moment
    4. polybore
      True, would have to use arc lights to intensely floodlight the streets in order that the black light be visible.

      Although the biggest problem would be working out if the bulb in the black light had gone or not.
    5. Sam1982
      Yes i can see the dilema there - unless its an entirely black light, except for the name "polybore" so effectively your name will appear on the road as you're passing
    6. polybore
      Genius.

    Dear Genius, (do it properly, Polybore!)

    There are some movies that are so bad that all there is to do is shout at the screen. However, this is frowned upon in the cinema as it disturbs the cinema-goers who like the film. My idea is that there are cinemas specifically designed for people who like to talk during films and hurl abuse at the screen when the film is bad...this way, talkers can enjoy new films without ruining it for quiet people.
    1. Sam1982
      Genius - is this to include bag rustlers also, even if they aren't talkers?
    2. Epicharis
      No, they should just be shot.
    3. Sam1982
      i agree whole heartedly
    4. MissSuzie
      Genius! And I'd definitely be in the talker's cinema.
    5. polybore
      Excellent, Genius. It happens at certain Rocky Horror show and Sound of Music screenings successfully.
    6. Epicharis
      precisely...but hopefully this will be less camp and more aggressive during new George Lucas films...
    7. polybore
      So what you really want SiuilARuin is a cinema/ cage fighting experience. No popcorn for sale at the foyer but a selection of pointy and blunt weapons.
    8. Epicharis
      It's not supposed to be a theatrical experience...it's not like everyone joining in...it's people sitting in their 2s and 3s talking amongst themselves and individually yelling out "HOW STUPID ARE YOU?!" "WHO WROTE THAT LINE, EH?!" "WORST CGI EVER!"....that kind of thing...
    9. polybore
      Have absolute empathy with you SiuilARuin. Have you seen what he has done to one of polybore's all time fav films THX1138?

    Dear Genius,

    I propose a social networking site for bloggers of all stripes, where they can exchange ideas and promote their blogs. One of the key components of this web site would be a "discussion board" where people could discuss pithy, intellectual issues, best practices, as well as the pressing issues of the day. All this will be conducted in a mature, respectful and harmonious manner. Best part of all -- the whole thing will be run not only by Americans, but by Texans! What do you think?
    1. polybore
      Genius. (Blog spotlight please)
