Time Magazine’s 2006 Best Inventions

I was about to leave Bloomington, Illinois, but I lost my keys. Luckily I had the $190 Loc8tor to find them.

I drive home 130 miles to Chicago and use just one gallon of gas in my fancy “Witty Wheels” prototype achieving a top speed of 80 miles per hour. On my way, I see a robot riding a bicycle all my himself!

It’s raining when I arrive home, but I have my $95 drip patrol umbrella that sheds water. I get inside my apartment and toss an apple into the $200 food sanitizer. My $250 doting dinosaur pet robot walks up to me and I pet his head. The talking head appears on my $19,995 talking mirror and says in a snooty English accent, “by jove, your cat misses you.” Sure enough the $3,950 hypoallergenic cat purrs in the corner. I go to get a cup of water, but the faucet isn’t working. So I head out to the garage where I have my $300,000 Rainmaker that is able to pull water out of thin air. I gulp that down and plop into my $1.5 milion dollar floating bed.

Although the gadgets you’ve mentioned sound terrific, the schedule doesn’t sound very plausible not even for Bill Gates. A little too expensive, don’t you think? ——— http://www.worstellwebwriters.com
