coming up with re-applications of developed technologies
isn't forbidden 21Q. Unless you can direct us to a place where
we may acquire a similar item (???) then the [M-F-D] should
be retracted with suitable apologies. |
|

Well, [21Quest], if you're going to bone this, at least you gave
me an explanation. However, I don't think this is Baked as you
declare it to be. When I pictured this idea, I thought of those
little plastic straw packages with the straws all lined up... but
with a tiny screw running down the length of each one. I
thought it was rather cute. I can't imagine doing that with
Archimedes screws in the forms that they exist in today. |

Officer Quest just wants to see your license and registration.
Keep your hands on the idea where he can see them and
don't make any sudden moves. He may let you off with a
warning or give you a ticket, do you know how fast you were
going back there, when you posted the idea? |
|
| |
Where on the sweet earth can I buy a drinking straw with an auger built into it 21Quest? Where? Because that is the point of the whole "baked" notion isn't it. If it has never been done than it can hardly be called baked. As for your demure attitude about calling for an idea to be deleted, I find that disingenuous. |
|
| |
Whose copyright? Archimedes? honestly. The reason why nobody has done this before is because, as far as I can find, it occurred to Dr. Worm first, making it his invention and a validly half baked one at that. |
|
| |
[21Quest], Internal Affairs has a few questions they need to ask you about copywriting archaic technology. |
|
| |
sounds like more work than sucking |
|
| |
[21] has become our junkyard dog. Now if only he could refrain from biting the employees and customers during working hours. |
|

//I guess it's no longer acceptable to speak one's mind here//
You really haven't got the HB, have you, [21Q}?
It's a parlour game.
A distraction.
A bit of fun. (Remember fun?)
It really doesn't need your spraint.

This would work well with [Flying Toaster]s invention [link]. [+] |
|
| |
[+] actually I was originally going to use an Archimedes screw for that one, but didn't want the shaft to have to be at an angle. |
|
| |
This is completely unnecessary and involves more effort and complication than the traditional method. |
|
| |
All it needs is to be driven by a small steam engine. |
|
| |
//...screw for that one, but didn't want the shaft to have to be at an angle...// - ooer! |
|

I don't know if the changes were made in the interim, but 21, if you want moderators to find the mfd then you have to write it properly. They don't sift for misspellings or bad capitalization, as I understand the process. |
|
| |
I like using analogies to discuss potential MFDs. If you say this is baked, then all miniaturization ideas are baked. Proving, once again, that nanotechnology is more aptly named shitnotechnology. |
|
| |
I move that we cut [21Q]'s hours here to part time, so that he'll have an opportunity to get another job that pays better. |
|
| |
And much as I like [DrWorm]'s idea, I hope it's not a big commercial success. I mean, just imagine... |
|

My wife and I have ordered nice thick shakes at the drive-up. The carhop skates them out, hangs the tray on my window, punches out my change, then she leans down and asks "Would you like a screw, or just a suck?" |
|
| |
What's the world's record time for death by embarassment? |
|
| |
actually [lurch], it might help with the big thick shakes -- I know sometimes they're too thick to suck easily, and please God don't mark that for a tagline. |
|
| |
Poor old [21Q] he does have a point (albeit a belaboured one) we might not all agree with it, but it's ok for him to to speak his mind. |
|
| |
Bearing in mind that when a moderator sees someone continually marking lots and lots of things for deletion, and then comes across a borderline case (like perhaps this one - yes, Archimedes screw was invented by a Classical Greek, so in that respect, it is very much an existing invention - while the application of this technology to the beverage space is, as far as I'm aware, quite original) it's more likely they will give the benefit of the doubt to the poster if the mfd-er is a serial one. |
|
| |
I can see this becoming the rage in coctail bars - where people might, for example be able to order a Long Slow Comfortable (Archimedes) Screw. |
|
| |
As I recall, there never was an official 'MFD-baked'; the closest documented one is 'MFD-widely known to exist', which this isn't. |
|
| |
However, I admit that I've done the odd extra-judicial MFD myself, so I can't really complain. |
|
| |
A serial mfd-er, hahahaha. I love that. Or in this case a
"cereal bowl" mfd-er ;-) |
|
| |
I love the idea. Have to admit I was a bit behind in my
bakery lessons for the week, and I had not seen this,
till [jutta] linked it to twitter. I thought the snippet
there was hysterical. So a big sucking bun for a ya,
wormy. |
|
| |
// it's ok for him to to speak his mind. // |
|
| |
Of course it is. After all, it won't take very long, will it ? |
|
| |
You could simply place the crank in your mouth and rotate it with your tongue. That might be popular some places. |
|
| |
Hm. Looks like you've traipsed through my ideas list,
[baconbrain]... |
|
| |
hahaha, check out this [link]. It's been baked, at least as a gag commercial advert for 'drink more milk' here in North America. |
