    Default Ball Thrower

    Those ball throwers (chuckers) that are used to throw and pick up a tennis ball has proved to be very popular with dog walkers.

    I think the Mark2 model ought to be a telescopic version so they can slip into your bag with all the other bits and bobs that you need to carry to the beach to help with modern day dog exercising.

    A prosthetic implant that runs off body heat and gives you full email, internet and telephone access.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Great until it starts malfunctioning and then you'll have people screaming at themselves and throwing themselves against walls.

    What about bringing back some inventions, like phones that were tied to the wall.
    Remember them, when you knew were the phone was when it was ringing instead of hunting round the house trying to find the cordless.

    I have solved this problem by having both, one tied to the wall, and 2 floating about, randomly hiding under washing and pillows or occasionally even under paperwork! (that's when I bother doing it)
