Light 'em up!What's your best idea for an invention you've never seen?
A former NYC school teacher has come up with an innovative idea to turn our used plastic soda bottles into soccer goals. He calls it the Eco-Connect system, and it uses a threaded indentation on the bottom of the plastic bottles to connect to other bottles. Beyond soccer goals, inventor Steve Klein thinks his invention could be used as insulation in construction or to build temporary shelters to disaster victims. The idea totally depends on beverage companies buying into the idea...so don't hold your breath. article
Should businesses have the right to ban someone because they don't like their tattoo or jewelry?
A North Texas man was told to take a hike after trying to get into Six Flags over Texas. Park officials didn't like his jewelry or tattoo. The jewelery consisted of a bracelet on his left hand that looked like a handcuff. That, along with the tattoo of a topless woman, pretty much sent him home early. The guests of the park had mixed feelings.
One said she was glad the park turned him away: “I think it is offensive for my children to see that when Six Flags is one of the few places left where you can take your kids and be kid friendly."
Others said it shouldn't be a problem: “It’s a tattoo. It’s not going to offend me any. People can do what they want with their own body."

The next night the same drunk comes in again and orders a drink for everyone in the bar including the bartender. Again the bartender follows instructions and again the drunk says he has no money. So the bartender slaps him around and throws him out.
On the third night he comes in, the drunk orders drinks for all except the bartender. "What, no drink for me?" replies the bartender. "Oh, no. You get violent when you drink."
