I think that's just what my invention needed - Bond, James Bond. As members of the military all our lives, we both had guns in our home growing up and while raising our own children. With our 8th grandchild due in April, it breaks my heart every time I hear that a child has died because someone was careless or because someone couldn't care less. A biometric scanner would make an excellent addition to a gun.

I like the backfiring gun. Reminds me of one of the James Bond gadgets - a gun that only fires after a bio-metric scan to make sure it's the owner holding it. I'd like to see less of the tragedies (usually involving kids) that start with "look what I found."

Wow, Pixzy, these are all terrific inventions. And your sense of humor is delightful. I literally laughed out loud at the toilet that doesn't flush till the lid is put down. And I could definitely use that alarm on my wallet. (Actually, since I do all my shopping online, what I really need is an alarm on my computer!! Surely we ought to be able to create that.) Finally, your backfiring-guns idea, which I favor, sparks all sorts of thinking. And as for the topic being "too sensitive" to broach here, screw it. Just because we've created a beautiful and loving retreat here, doesn't mean we shouldn't or can't discuss hot issues. And the ME group is just the place to do so. Great work, my dear!!!!
Your twisted backfire idea is brilliant, and mind-blowing, and should be the subject of a futuristic novel. And I wish your last idea could become a reality; I've often thought how wonderful it would be to receive a 'postcard from heaven.'
