No kids until after 30

Would the world be better off if no one reproduced until they were 30 years old or older? I'm thinking yes. I'm not sure how to make this happen, but I'm very happy to hear some ideas.

PG tracks for DVDs

What I would really like is this...

I want the "Edited for TV" language track as an option on DVDs.

I often find myself wanting to watch movies with children around. Problem is the version on the DVD for movies with the PG13 and above rating have all the words that you really don't want children hearing. To me, the "adult" language really does not add to my overall enjoyment of the movie. If there was a version on the DVD menu that allowed me to select the "made for TV version", I think I would use it often. At least much more often than any of the other extra features on the DVD that I never use.

The Caffeine Patch

What I would really like is this...

When the alarm goes off in the morning, I hit the snooze alarm and then reach for a caffeine patch that I slap on any piece of my skin that happens to be exposed at the time. When the alarm goes off again, the caffeine has started to do it's job and I'm ready to face another day.

The patches could come in several colors and strengths and absorption rates. The could be worn privately or exposed to make a point. They could be passed out at the beginning of 8am meetings with company logos printed on the top side. You could keep on in the car for the late night drive to use if you feel yourself growing sleepy. You could keep one in your day planner to use if you feel yourself falling asleep in a meeting that is lasting way longer than it should.

I'm liking this idea.

Somebody do this...please!
