climate change

Since the US and many other nations seem to lack the will to take the necessary steps to address the threat of climate change, we probably will face slow extinction many years from now.
  But we could face a fast extinction from intense heat or cold if the earth and sun suddenly become closer or farther apart .Let's hope that by then we will know how to colonize other planets or will develop an effective shield around the earth.
   I'm working on it.

Telemarketing

I, and the members of my R&;D team, have been fed up  with those annoying sales, political and other solicitation calls that come at all hours, often at mealtimes. So we have been developing a device to stop or discourage them. Tentatively named the RetroHit, it works this way: if a human calls, it sends a charged signal back that will deafen that person for 3 hours; if it's a computer, it will be disabled  for 3 days.
    We know that there will be much interest, but we have not yet determined price and availability.
