my first advice would be for FS to buy Bruce A. Berman's book.  remember, "you can't have a business without a business plan!"

We need to move beyond the 19th century paradigm of what we THINK edible tractors are and into the 21st century and what edible tractors one day CAN BE. With your example we are cutting out two essential markets, vegetarians and Indians. Two rapidly expanding markets, I might add. We won't even be able to outsource the production of your model to India.Come ON people! I need go-getters, not thumb-twiddlers. All I want is a tractor that can match the productivity of any tractor currently on the market and that anyone would be thrilled to sit down and eat for dinner. I DO NOT SEE THE PROBLEM HERE,

why not front seats in cars that double as toilets.  ora water fountain in my car for when i'm thirstyand last, but definitely not least:after they plow streets they should send out trucks that have on them what acts as giant heat machines and melt the snow along the curbs so we can all park without a hassle. i will never make any of these so now get to work and make me pay for one.

Okay, here's how I'm making my first million.  I'm going to operate a business that you can hire to have someone wait at your house for the cable guy, telephone guy, etc.  How many people get pissed sitting around for someone to show up between 10 and 4?

That saves a step!  i was going to say that first, but figured in to much snow they may have problems moving.  so send the plows out to clear some space and then melt the snow.  i guess they can always just throw a plow onto my new trucks.

How about Ant Farm Keyboard.  Basically you hollow out a regular keyboard (of course it would have to be a transparent regular keyboard), fill it with dirt, introduce ants. Of course there is the danger that the ants would become super-intelligent from all of the typing on the keyboard.  But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

There's great money to be made washing windows.  All you need is a squeegee and a bucket and a ladder.  One Saturday morning I went to Home Depot, spent a hundred dollars on everything I would need (I already had the step ladder) and went around soliciting.  I was very surprised at how many people are looking for window washers.  You don't get much per window (usually a dollar or two) but if you look at every business window pane as another $1.50, then it gets pretty exciting.Why am I not doing it now?  Because I am a full-time student in an intense course of study, and to really make it worthwhile, you either need a helper (who ain't working for free) or the time and patience to really build it up into steady work.  I have neither, but I was able to scare up enough business on a Saturday to pay for my Home Depot trip, and now I have top-notch window washing paraphernalia for my home.good luck anyways

ever notice how some of your favorite pornos are the ones that have girls that either look like a chick you have banged or always wanted to bang?there should be a website that you can send pictures of some girl you think is hot and they will find pornos with girls who have similar bodies/faces.i would spend money on that. also, a "negative-microwave".  that's from back in the day when the liquor store we would go to that sold to underage kids would only have warm 30s.  if you can heat something up in a microwave by making all the molecules move around faster, there has to be a way to do the opposite.   i understand that there are refrigerators.  just something that could do it quickly and without freezing.
