Had a mini road-trip today, during which I invented a new type of turn signal. Rather than indicating to other vehicles on the highway that I intend to change lanes, this new signal will indicate to them that they should do so. This is most useful when people are attempting to merge onto the highway, and would solve a constant frustration of mine. Seriously, people can’t merge on their own, and I feel that an additional signal would go a long ways towards solving this problem. (Initially my idea was for the indicator to CAUSE the other person’s car to change lanes, but I’m not sure that even I would be able to use that only for good — let alone all the idiots that can’t merge on their own in the first place.

I’m not even going to charge money to license this technology; I feel the good this will do for mankind far outweighs the potential profits from it. You’re welcome, world.

In other news, we’re off to an ‘adults-only’ member night at our local Museum of Science and Industry. A quick peek at the website has taught me that it’s not quite the evening I had imagined when D sold me on the idea a few months ago; rather it’s just an evening where no one under 21 is admitted so the adults can enjoy fancy appetizers and ‘sciency’ cocktails. My imagined version was much better, but the real one sounds like it might be fun too. What’s better than Chinese dinosaur bones? Slightly tipsy rich people to appreciate my sophisticated ‘bones’ humor all evening.
