can we start a grant for this?

You know, sometimes I'm astounded by the things that have yet to be invented. I hear many people, especially those who grew up with the "Back to the Future" movie series, complaining about the delayed appearance of the flying car. The flying car is crap.

What I need is a bandaid that will actually fit over the top of my finger. Tip-of-finger injuries must abound, what with the hazards of occupational paper-shuffling and bagel-slicing being what they are. And once you get a boo-boo there, it keeps hitting everything, because it's the fucking tip of your finger.

Of the many shapes bandaids come in, not a single one easily stays on a finger without modification. I mean, what we need here is, like, a bandaid thimble. Doesn't sound so tough to me. And there can be bandaid finger puppets for the kids.

Then you can start on the flying car thing. But don't expect me to buy one. Cause they're going to be a bunch of crap.

Flying cars are stupid and wrong. They're part of the capitalist/libertarian "everybody for themselves and stay the fuck out of my way." view of the world. Considering the problems with air traffic control today, the concept of a million flyhing cars in the air is just... irresponsible.

Flying trains, on the other hand, are totally rockin'

Uh, funny. You'd think they would figure out how to get gauze bandages to stay on the tip of your finger. I seriously hope the come out with something, and soon.
