Never suffer the indignity of being overtaken again when out for a run, with these scythed trainers. Impact on the sole transfers kinetic energy to spin the blades of shin-tearing doom.

       And there was i envisaging some kind of water-moving mechanism based on a capstan pulled by chariots racing round the Circum Maximum.

       No, that would be silly!

       Whenever I see the name Ben Hur, it always makes me think of Tom Jones. (You have to imagine Tom saying first, at normal volume "Ben", and then, with full gusto, "Hur!" before breaking into song)

       Could one dispense with the lawn mower and cut the grass by simply hopping around backwards in the yard?

       Yes, absolutely. In fact, that's an excellent idea. Also good for reiterating the concepts of touch rugby.

       Possible ad campaign;   

       "Scythe" in the Nike logo font, above the slogan "Just try it."
