Museum of the Future
Magnavox writes "In Boulder, Colorado tonight there is going to be a rather unusual announcement about the DaVinci Institute's effort to create a Museum of Future Inventions. This will be a museum where they exhibit things that haven't been invented yet, like spray on clothing, instant sleep, genetically engineered Velcro sheep, and metric time. Pretty creative stuff.
Some of the people they have involved are Dr. Paul MacCready, inventor of the Gossamer Albatross and Paul Dusenbery, Founder of the Space Science Institute. This looks like serious competition for Paul Allen's Science Fiction Museum."
sometime in the future this will be the FP
for the troll-free Slashdot thread.
Will I be able to go there and play Duke Nukem Forever?
How 'bout we draft some patents on these pre-natal inventions?
and profit, of course.

The Frenchies tried to impose a ten-day week and a ten-hour day right after their revolution. It caught on about as well as esperanto.
Screw those inventions. What I want is potato chips with negative calories.
The Internet is full. Go Away!!!

I bought a season pass to that museum two years from now and went there twice next month.
I would have liked to go, but sadly the announcemnet on the museum of the future seems to have occured most firmly in the past.
An inauspicious start...

As a long time gamers, what is this sleep stuff I keep hearing about?
I it something that comes in can form? Or do I have to stop playing for 5 minutes to pop a pill?
From what I hear, as long as it tastes better than 'instant' coffee, this *sleep* stuff might just be worth trying. But I gotta go, too many spawns to camp.

You wouldn't be able to mix velcro sheep and regular sheep, otherwise they will stick together, forming one large sheepmass.

On the other hand.... velcro sheep. Yikes. That's a scary thought. Even scarier, now that it's been suggested, what are the bets that some mad scientist somewhere decides to try actually creating one?
Oh yea. Some mad scientist was having problems in his Velcro room. When the sheep bounced on the trampoline they would sometimes stick to the wall and the ceiling. He found this most annoying and genetically engineered Velcro sheep to make sure they would stick. When asked about the subject he would simply say, "Well, sheep are 10 degrees hotter than women." When we asked the sheep about the subject they simply replyed, "bahhhhhh."
And for my next trick I'll hit AC to avoid any reduction in my karma.
