Question Got any invention ideas?

something that should have been invented but hasn't?

Was thinking when using my brolly - why are the spokes in the middle of it? As you are walking with brolly upright half of it is keeping the ground in front of you dry. I think the small handheld umbrellas (for the USCs who may not know what a brolly is ) spokes should be at one side so 2/3rds of it is actually covering you and the other third is like a big brim.

Resting the brolly shaft on your shoulder doesn't work as the front is more open to wind and rain and the back of the brolly just drips down your back.

Anyone got any thoughts or inventions in their minds and want to share?

p.s I'm too lazy to do anything about mine so don't mind it being public also it may just be a crap idea

I'm going to invent a new computer Operating System.

I'm going to call it "I can't believe it's not Windows".

This is the best commercial for a product ever.

PS. It seems to be legit.

Ha! Even the 1-800 is legit. I just called it.
I love how it the announcer says it "stays in place" when you can clearly see the person struggling to make it do so.

My dad just invented a device for seeing through brick and concrete walls.

He calls it a window.

My invention would be a high -powered laser that scans the lawn once a week, taking the top 2 inches off the grass, no prizes for guessing what I've been doing for the past 2 hours...
