Desired Scientific Discoveries

A Mars bar sized chunk of plutonium you just stick in your car’s engine and it lasts pretty much forever. For when the oil finally runs out. I worked for many years in the oil & gas industry and a colleague reckoned the majors will have already invented something similar, they’re just keeping it under wraps until required!

On a related note, nearly walked in front of one of those baby BMW electric cars the other day, it was too quiet to hear, very spooky. Imagine the silence in a world full of electric cars.

If they could make it so we don't need to go to the toilet, I would be much obliged.

Broken heart fix.

A way to stop aging would be nice too.

At what age would you like to be stuck at though? Tricky.......

Some sort of robot that puts the duvet cover back on?

That's called "the wife"

I'm not getting one of those just for duvet duties

1. Reverse osmosis. Exists.
2. Had it for donkeys years - also soluble plastics. The coop had biodegradable bags 5 years ago before the government's anti-plastic agenda was used to introduce a 5p stealth tax, which may supermarkets have now hiked to 20p (even for paper bags).

Beautifully illustrates how our government manipulates and programmes public thinking and acceptance of being bled dry.

3. I'd rather the 2 bricks than take such medication. I have enough trouble controlling my moobs.

4. There's an aerosol schmoo that can be squirted into the tyre that will self seal leaks. Available in supermarkets and motor factors.

Smart move. I was taken in by the sales pitch and the promise of replacing countless duvet covers. Mine's gone rogue now and refuses to do anything. I checked the instructions but unfortunately they don't come with an off button FFS!

In all seriousness, I know about reverse osmosis, but isn't it quite inefficient when scaled up to desalinate huge volumes of water, as for a city?

Quite probably. What I know of it is from when I investigated different ways if extracting river water for my barge. Discounted in the end because if price, slowness and energy demand - so you're probably right.
