Good idea: it doubles an a thermal blanket in the cold.

A sequel to Dumb and Dumber ...apparently. (Hint: I already can't stand to watch the first one the whole way through anymore and Jim Carrey has since soured himself to me)

Bad idea. There was already a prequel and it was beyond terrible. The sequel might be better, but it won't top the original.

Funding Kung Fury on Kickstarter.

Good idea, I suppose.

Attempting to speed up an electric kettle by putting it on a burner.

Good Idea. Try that and get back to us on the results.


Using an electric stove top to heat up an electric kettle.

That's exactly what I meant.

Learning a language for the sole purpose of insulting people in it.

Great idea - who hasn't done that before?

Going to North Korea just to "see the sights."

Good idea. I'm sure there are plenty of sights there.

Attempting to speed up a toaster by baking it in an oven while it's toasting bread.

Another good idea if the cord to it doesn't melt in the process.


That's exactly what I meant.

Oh sorry, Alkonium. I didn't know what type of burner you meant. Oil, gas, coal, electric, etc. Anyway, my bad.





Disney actually continuing some of the Star Wars game series like Kotor and Jedi Knight.

Good idea, though I don't see why they would.

A Sherlock Holmes adaptation in which Holmes and Moriarty have a Jekyll and Hyde thing going.

Good idea. Sounds familiar, though. You sure it hasn't been done before?

Run into a store and ask what year it is. When someone answers, yell, “It worked!” and run out cheering.

Good idea...I guess. *shrug*

Letting the old janitor take home the lab rats from the university instead of killing the furballs.

Good idea. More humane.

Great idea, just on principle...


Damning the referee. Damning him in the arse.

Bad idea. That gets you kicked out of the game.

Threatening your subordinates at work by singing The Rains of Castamere.

No idea posted, and I have no idea what you're talking about.

Emulating Surgeon Simulator with real surgery.

Good idea. We're now on the way to controlling robots via teh internets to do surgery.

(BTW Alk, you shoulda smacked him.)

Disassembling dead magnetrons for their ring magnets to put on your fridge.

Good idea for a conversation starter.

(Reposting for a real response) Threatening your subordinates at work by singing The Rains of Castamere.

Good idea if it's those who don't play vidya; Bad idea if someone knows what it is as you'll likely be laughed at.

Hiring Koichi Sugiyama to compose music for your next great vidya piece.

Good idea, I guess.

Filling an empty vodka bottle with water and drinking from it in public.

Good idea, we need more comedy.

Using jars and chamber pots as opposed to an outhouse in the scenario of a supposed infrastructure collapse...

Good idea, much easier to empty.

Saving time making bread by eating several cups of flour.

Neutral to bad: I'm inclined to say bad if only because it might cause bloating or makes a yeast culture in your intestines that could clog them (that's just my guess if you did it habitually in large quantities)... but otherwise, neutral because it's really just powder... :giveup: (hopefully you don't have Ceilliac's disease, or at the least you're avoiding it from crops sprayed with round up pesticides)


Ghost peppers as an interrogation tool.

Bad idea. That seems more like torture.

"Encouraging" vegans to eat meat by trying to eat them.

Good Idea: they could use a quick return to the days of primal hunting.

Nintendo buying up the Mega Man franchise from Capcom if they go down (since Capcom refuses to sell to companies in western countries in WCS).
(IMO Lynk is probably right that most of Capcom's intellectual property would be bought up by "Bamco", though you'd have quite a bit of contention from numerous other companies wanting their more popular fighting game characters).

Good idea. Nintendo can handle other companies' characters pretty well.

Carving your resume and cover letter onto several stone tablets, and giving it to a prospective employer.

Good idea: you might actually get noticed, and considered as well since that would take effort and time dedicated. Hopefully what you're applying for isn't going to be too sophisticated--stone tablets will send the impression you're primitive.


Taking butyl nitrate and lighting it on fire to start a bonfire.
