Idea glue
Fast-setting Epoxy adhesive for ideas | |
Some HalfBakers clearly have great difficulty joining words together in a coherent way to describe their world-altering innovation.
Now, researchers at BorgCo have developed a special “idea glue”, which can be used to hold together flaky or fragile ideas.
Simply mix the 2-part adhesive and apply
liberally to the rickety concept. In minutes, it sets hard and protects the frail concept from the inevitable barrage of well-aimed fishbones.
The product will be marketed under the trade name “Erudite”, and with the slogan “Stick With What You Know”.
Mix this into the glue to make it go further

I was going to bone this until the last sentence. You
had a lucky escape - learn from it. |
|

I see the flaw in your idea. If all of the parts,
including the halfbaker proposing the idea, have
been sprayed with Clueflon <link> beforehand then
nothing will stick together, jointly or severally. This
will result in a shambles, in the modern definition of
the word, followed by a shambles, in the older
definition of the word. |

As long as they've ppaid us for the product,
we don't care. The circumstances of use are
completely beyond our control (page 34 of
the product liability disclaimer, just under the
bbit about Flying Monkeys and Giant
Radioactive Termites). |

The extra consonants are free, I presume? |

I read a pretty convincing essay somewhere arguing that nearly all good ideas in technology (and most other fields) come from combining prior good ideas in new ways. The glue would no doubt assist this process. So [+] |

Clever pun, but I'm not sure there's anything apart from the pun: [marked-for-deletion] |

It's coming to a sticky end.... |
|
| |
// I'm not sure there's anything apart from the pun // |
|

However, an idea might emerge if we all try hard enough. It also reminds me of contonktion, which is a specially-designed conjunction "tonk" which enables one to draw conclusions and premises together regardless of their content or truth-value, defined by Arthur Prior in his paper 'The Runabout Inference Ticket'. |
|
| |
Suppose P and Q are true statements. Then Q is a true statement from the meaning of the word "and". Similarly, one can infer from any true statement P that "P and/or R" is true even if R isn't true, as "and/or" only needs P to be true for the whole statement to be true. Therefore, what you need is to combine those two rules. The first is:
A&B implies B |
|
| |
Thus you can define a third conjunction "tonk" which enables you to get from A, via A tonk B, to B. |
|
| |
Hence all we need to do to make this idea glue work is to start with a true statement, such as "white is white", then say "White is white tonk B", then tonk another idea onto that and keep going as long as we like, then take away the first idea, which was true, and they will all be logically connected. Voila! |
|
| |
So, I would like some glue to make a halfbaked idea to stick in my head!! I always forget them after a *halfbaking session in my head*~~[+] |

You take the whole vendetta against puns very
seriously, don't you, [hippo]? |

Is there a "NO BUNS FOR PUNS" edict tattooed on
each moderator when they are inducted to the role? |
|
| |
No, not at all - I've even written a few ideas with puns in their titles. The [mfd] wasn't for the pun. My point was that there's not much to this idea apart from the pun. |
|
| |
I would say this idea is baked but not widely known to exist, and
works without the puns to the extent that it works at all. |
|
| |
Oh... it looked like it was about the pun. |
