SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.
'If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get one million miles to the gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.'

Some useful UK inventions: computer, the pill, photocopier, aspirin, television, mobile phone, jet engine and flushing toilet. Great, huh? Now here are the weird ones: spectacles for chicken to prevent its eyes from being pecked by another chicken (excuse me?!), two-handed glove for couples who wish to maintain palm-to-palm contact even in chilly weather (how romantic, and so... geeky?), and ladder for spiders to climb out of the bath (oh yeah this one is useful - for spiders). Duh.
