Racing drivers who wear full-face helmets often use tear-off
visor films; when one layer is plastered with bugs, you peel
it off
to expose a new, clean layer.
Now, thanks to those awfully clever people at MaxCo., the
technology of Formula 1 racing can be brought right into
your
living
room. MaxCo's PeelPaper is a wallpaper consisting of a
backing sheet and several thin layers of plastic, each printed
with a different design. PeelPaper is affixed to the walls
just
like regular wallpaper but, when it begins to look grubby or
you're just bored with your decor, use a scalpel to lift up
one
corner of the topmost plastic layer, and peel away.
Gadulka! In
a few moment, your room is redecorated.

How about having each layer on a clear sheet with ink that
will turn clear once you shine a particular wavelength of
light
at it? |
|
| |
Perhaps because there's no such ink? |
|
| |
How about if you do this but in such a way that it's more
clever? |
|

It's my Friday, I'm un-motivated. |

When I was a student I created "skin disease" wall
paper. Combining with this idea would produce
even more variations, so it’s a winner for me and a
hot croissant + |
|
| |
You know, the wallpaper thing might not be
practical
but a scaled down version of this might. Just have
a
big mural of some beautiful landscape that you
peel
away like a calendar when you want a change of
scenery. |
|
| |
I could see this as something for waiting rooms in
doctor's offices and the like. Plus you'd get a re-
occuring income from this because the wall would
be ruined by sticking this big 4 x 8 series of peel
away posters on the wall so you'd have to keep
buying new ones. Go the full "let's make money"
route and have the pictures be seasonal based like
a calendar showing trees turning color in autumn
etc and put the month in one corner so you'd HAVE
to peel it off. |
|
| |
Then take the money you make selling these
devious wall destroying time consumers "Hey,
whose turn is it to peel off the stupid wall mural
this month?" and buy stuff with it. |

Didn't you post an explosive version of that a while ago? |
|

|
| |
That's a good way to avoid the problem with the original of having to decide on your
wallpaper patterns/images and their order months/years in advance of a given
refresh. |
|
| |
//and buy stuff with it// D'oh! <smacks forehead> NOW it
makes sense. I'd just been stashing it all in boxes and
wondering why people were so crazy about it. |
|
| |
Pity; you might now come looking for these boxes. I mean
those. Those boxes. |
|
| |
It was good while it lasted. |
|
| |
Hey, money in boxes is part of a balanced portfolio,
but if you really want to diversify I'd put some into
jars as well. |
|
| |
//full-face helmets often use tear-off visor

|
| |
You could reduce costs by just having all residents
and visitors wear such helmets with whatever
patterns you choose printed as an overlay on the
visor films. |
|
| |
Godsdammit. I swear I'm being stalked by a time traveller. |
|
| |
[doctorremulac3] I have just been putting money in a portfolio and wondering why nothing is happening. I'll go and balance it across some boxes and jars. |

I'd even bunned [4and20]'s and I'm pretty sure I've read
[neelandan]'s before—maybe it was what I was remembering
above. |
