I have a one man company called Asclesion Studios and there is a LAB which is contains all the worst ideas you can think of.

Invention: A jet pack for dogs.
Comment: it was a really good idea at the time.

Invention: Ambi Pur Wickerman.
Comment: Freshens up the house like nobodies business. There were no bodies, but there were fowl and goats inside so it was pulled.

Invention: Monkey Wrench.
Comment: it wasn't my idea.

Invention: Role Plaing Game power levelling program.
Comment: you put in what game you are playing, perameters, then your (primary) class/character, stats/skills and level, and the program tells you how good your character is compared to a character of the same build/class of that level (graphical), it will show you how strong you character is with the combinations of skills compared to your primary class (if entered) to the other multiclass build ("strongest" compared to first), and has info for the ideal way to level up you character in future (tells you what skills to get and stat distribution - doesn't tell you get the best skills but how to improve you character from where it is currently at). It also tells you the endings for each if you hate level building your characters/rpgs but many beta users abused this feature and put videos of the endings up on Youtube so this program would probably never see the light of day. It also plays out the rpgs textually which was the core reason how it evolved into a level builder, but Progress Quest blows it out of the water. Sheesh.

Invention: Smart Waiter.
Comment: You don't pull a rope to make the delivery table go up to the next floor in a hole in a wall; it uses the stairs. This machanical walking table goes up the stairs! Design flaw(s): spiral staircases, children, pets, carpet, anything put on the table that didn't have a lid on it.

Invention: Self Digestive Buscuit.
Comment: These buscuits are easier to digest: they eat themselves for you. Warning: shouldn't be ingested. I decided to invest time making Rich Coffee Biscuits from this experience.

Invention: Floorpaper.
Comment: Wallpaper for floors. Never caught on.

Invention: Authentic Football Bird Shower.
Comment: An ornate mini shower cubical (holds 11) on a marble stand for the birds after a big match. Has room temp water with steam effects, authentic football stadium sounds (cheers, chants, but bathroom acoustics). Has a mini football, video screen, and bubble effects in the bath. In the 3 month period it only attracted 2 pigeons and 5 Sheffield Wednesday supporters. Rarely seen in London this time of year... Generally birds don't like noise.

Invention: Not Offensive TV Away program (blocker).
Comment: when something grisly or not very visual tasteful comes on tv, the program blocks the visuals (but the sound is still there). As the software decides what is in good taste or not on the fly, it masks some celebrities from ever appearing on your tv at all. Some considered it a flaw, whilst others a blessing. Still in testing.

That sounds like a scary biscuit. Are you sure it won't accidentally bite you if you pick it up?

Ah, but if you made your coffee biscuits rich, they might take legal action against consumers.

Texas would secede from the union so they could go fight them. And then they'd probably be readmitted once everything is over.

Yes, you're right. They would probably be re-admitted to Mexico once it was all over.

It was a terrible idea. The biscuits ate themselves on the shelves so there weren't any biscuits - just plastic wrapping. When that was solved I had problems with them keeping on picking at themselves. This was to promote the friendly bacteria culture that has been hitting the health shops of late with an alternative digestion aid. I should of been rated for producing intelligent bacteria but it gave people really bad stomach aches.

I don't think the coffee biscuit would care theey aren't very intelligent, but I'm just gonna have a cry about my faild Self Digestives. :~( I might have ideas of "biscuits" for herbals teas, like flower cake. It isn't made of flowers, and it isn't a cake (well, a very hard one).

You know you've played DROD too much when you stop for 5 minutes to decide whether it would be more efficient to get the glass then the milk or the other way around.

You know you've spent too much time on the forum when you read this post and immediately remember this thread.

Anyway, a bad idea:

Advertisements. On eggs.

At least it isn't as bad as getting the advertising on the yolks...

Yes, I've been playing Doom and Duke Nukem 3D lately... :)
I don't think anyone really cares for the raygun, they just find it terribly amusing.

What about Ads for a rival company's eggs on your company's eggs? (assuming you sell eggs...)

(That thing kinda freaked me out, I didn't know it was a flash and I didn't have my headphones on... And I was posting this message...)

DROD has spikes...? Anyway, it wouldn't be too bad of an idea except you and the monsters would have to be moving constantly (it wouldn't be a first person shooter if you stood still thinking of your next move). DROD's definitely more of a "strategy" type game than it is "action". It would probably never work out well.
If i recall right, the underneath of trapdoors have spikes.
