A beverage spoon with an integral thermometer would be useful. |
|
|
[+] hydrometer-equipped swizzle-stick to see if the barkeep is watering down the booze. |
|
|
Nice, [FT] - you should post that .... |
|
|
+ nice...welcome to the halfbakery |
|
|
If the tines of the fork were made from bimetallic strips, they could be configured to curl down and drop the food if it was too hot. |
|
|
But as the bimetallic strips making up the tines
fidget and wriggle and eventually drop the food, they
will need some kind of miniaturised voice generation
circuitry so that as they are doing this they gasp:
"Oooh, ah, ah, - ooh, hot!!!" |

|
Welcome to the HB, [Roblox]. |
|
|
Just to get you acquainted with the HB, not only do we
share various invention and design ideas, we also discuss
the social and political issues of the day and everybody
does so in a calm, respectful, dare I say, loving and
supportive manner. |
|
|
So feel free to wax philosophical about the world's
political happenings in this safe, accepting environment
where all views, no matter how divergent, are treated
with respect and dignity. |
|
|
Naa, just kidding. We're all nuts. No matter what your
political leanings, you're not officially a halfbaker until
you've been called Hitler at least half a dozen times. |
|
|
Oh yea, "[+]" means I up-voted your idea. |
|
|
Actually it's just [doc] who is insane, at least according to the paperwork I've seen. [2 fries] has managed to avoid being clinically assessed, but you'll have plenty of time to draw your own conclusions. [8th] would probably be sectioned under the mental health act, but he falls so far outside most of the scoring charts that nobody has a word for it. I myself am bipolar, paranoid, slightly Aspergic on a good day and a sociopath, which puts me slap bang in the normal range for here. |
|
|
And no, I'm not a real doctor. As far as I know. |
|
|
(He's legally required to make that statement, after the "incident".) |
|
|
Trans-species head transplant work gets a bad rap from those
goody-goods in the AMA. |
|
|
Yes, it does seem very unfair to the unfortunate chimpanzee who got Hillary Clinton's original head in exchange. |
|
|
// until you've been called Hitler // |
|
|
That's ANOTHER $5 you owe us ... |
|
|
but you already took his clothes, boots, and motorcycle. |
|
|
As you can see I'm the unpopular kid who everybody gangs up
on. |
|
|
I'm also the one who's actually dated real women. Could be
the cause of all that angst. |
|
|
To be fair, [8th] did once assimilate a ewe. |
|
|
Still want to hang out with us Roblox? (see link) |
|
|
// actually dated real women // |
|
|
No, you tried to date real women. As was explained at the inquests, it is not possible to calculate the age of a woman by cutting her in half transversely and counting the growth rings. That ONLY works for trees; and it's a destructive analysis - neither the trees nor the women fit back together or ever work properly afterwards. Be told. |
|
|
We had my mother-in-law carbon dated. |
|
|
We recall it vividly. We can only presume that Sturton wilfully misread the instructions. Only a tiny sample is normally used for neutron activation ... her complaints and struggles as you stuffed her into the reactor were rather disturbing, and the outcome entirely predictable. |
|
|
Unless of course you had some ulterior motive ? |
|
|
aww, it seems like you guys are showing off in front of the
newbie...haha. It's great to have a new 'baker with a good
idea!! |
|
|
A lot of infant feeding spoons are supposed to change colour
when they're too hot, though I don't know how you're
supposed to know that when there's food all over it. |
|
|
I guess you can see better after you've put the food into the
baby. |
|
|
Babies also give an audible alarm. The spoon seems
redundant. |
|
|
You could have transparent food. |
|
|
Can't see that working ... |
|
|
//Babies also give an audible alarm. The spoon seems redundant.// |
|
|
Babies also give an audible alarm when you stick a fork in them. The food seems redundant. |
|
|
// Babies also give an audible alarm when you stick a fork in them. // |
|
|
<pause for consideration and design of experiment> |
|
|
Cats also give an audible alarm when you stick a fork in them. Similarly, they consume milk, produce noxious effluvia from many bodily orifices, smell bad, cost money, and perform no discernable useful function. |
|
|
Is there a methology for conclusively discriminating between cats and babies, on the sole basis of applying repeated unpleasant stimuli ? Something involving a hammer, or high-voltage electricity, would be ideal. |
|
|
Apply repeated unpleasant stimuli until the subject dies of
old age. Measure the time this takes. |
|
|
How rude of me, yes, welcome. |

Careful what you say around [Max]. He seems to think that the string of letters behind his name entitles him to fling any manner of accusations and proclamations at others without needing so much as a single shred of evidence to do so. |
|
|
...it's like his modus operandi or something. |
|
|
//the string of letters behind his name// |
|
|
I think that might just be one those charm bracelets for cheating at scrabble. |
