How do you feel about donating to homeless people by giving them coupons or vouchers they can exchange for food, accommodation or transport? You can buy the vouchers in sets of 20 50 100 and keep some in your wallet. Because their value is small you can also decide to receive them as your change when you make a purchase in a store.

Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires. Nitrogen-inflated tires will keep the tires of the car at the proper pressure much longer than filling them with air as nitrogen has larger molecules than oxygen. But how does car mileage improve and why? Can anyone explain the connection or is this a tip everyone keeps stupidly repeating?

Does anyone else here feel annoyed about chopsticks that have to be manually separated? Why can't chopsticks already come separated in the little package? I have been told that I am obsessive about it. I know it bothers me to look at chopsticks unevenly separated at the top. Of course, it's almost impossible to manually split them evenly. Good Asian restaurants serve plastic or other finer material chopsticks that are already separated and symmetrical. It's usually with the cheap wooden ones that come as a set and must be separated. Honestly, what's so difficult to sell them already separated? Any others in this world who feel this way about chopsticks?

I don't understand why they don't improve yogurt packages so that they don't splash when you open them. Yogurt that is sold in a small plastic container and sealed with paper at the top will splash on you unless you unseal it very very slowly.

Pretty huge hard and heinous! No more indecision in describing arrogant Ph.D. jerks. For those of you who don't know, the words 'pretty' and 'dick' in a Ph.D. are the standard description in the sarcastic use of the acronym. But some people prefer to use huge while others prefer hard for the little h in between. That's indecisive. I'd like to add 'heinous' to the selection and the requirement that all of them be pronounced in that order lest the carriers of the title actually get flattered by the first two and miss the real point of the h in between :D

What about creating walking canes for blind people that guide them when they walk? The guidance can be given via satellite or via wireless hot spots. The cane emits a unique signal and is made to receive signals from satellite or hot spots nearby. Based on the direction of the signal the cane exerts a slight pull, like a magnet, that guides the blind person to their final destination. (read more)

How about a leash that is built into the collar of your pet? When you take your pet for a walk unstrap the leash from the collar and pull the leash out. This way you don't have to worry about losing the leash or finding a place to hang it.
