Default You are offered $1 Million Dollars, now go forth and invent something!

The title says it all Kaleuns.
Be creative, be crazy, be all that you wanted to be! A mad Inventor!
The weirder the better!
How's about the Un -Toaster? A toaster that makes toast into bread?
Or, a Windows OS that isn't crap?

A Time Machine. 1 million wouldn't be enough, though in the movie 'Primer' they did it with a few gadgets lying around in the garage. The time machine would have to be able to go into the future not the past. 500 yrs from now what would the world be like? Well you did say be crazy.

Agreed, excellent observation.

Actually I have a friend who went back in time and killed the man who invented the time machine, which is why we don't have it anymore.

I wouldn't need to invent anything since I've helped my (occasional) job at a software startup patent a couple of things already. If I got a million dollars, I would just invest it in stuff we already invented and hire everybody who we wanted to have but still can't afford for our projects
