A place to finally VENT MY FRUSTRATION!
Have you ever found yourself standing alone in a field in the middle of the night, completely naked? And you just don't know how you got there, and you have no idea how to get home? I know I have!
Wouldn't it be great if you had a special pair of contact lenses which would see where you are and project a big green arrow telling you where to go to get you home? Wouldn't that be awesome?! You could just follow the arrows in front of you.
Have you ever wondered if you will ever be able to have a conversation with your dog or cat, through a special digital voice translator? Have you ever wished you could buy a toilet paper hat?
If you have had any of these thoughts, my friend, I welcome you to my lens :)
Look who made this lens!

Invention 1: Electrode Alarm Clock
I can never wake up. All my alarm clocks have just faded into the background. My brain knows to just ignore them because they bring pain. The pain of getting up...So my brain must learn.
My brain must learn to associate pain with IGNORING my alarm clocks. Does this sound fair?
So I wish there existed an alarm clock which you stick to your head before you go to bed, and when your alarm goes off... you have to get up. If you don't, you get an electric shock. Yep. An electric shock. That'd certainly show my brain then, wouldn't it?!
This product would be priced at around £13.99. About $22.50.
Would you buy the electrode alarm clock at $22.50?
Invention 2: Bulletproof Superman Shirt
You know you see loads of people walking round wearing those Superman Shirts? Like the one just here ----------->Do you ever get the urge to just walk up to them and shoot them right in the chest to see if they're REALLY Superman?
Me neither.
But wouldn't it be cool if they were bulletproof?!
This product would be priced at around £10. About $18.
Would you buy a bulletproof Superman shirt for $18?
Invention 3: Waterproof Socks
My shoes aren't very waterproof. But in Wales it rains. Quite a bit actually. And I don't want to walk around in wellies all the time like a farmer.So why don't they make waterproof socks?
My thinking is this: They have just a regular sock, and then on the outside of it is a waterproof layer.
Job done.
"But your feet would sweat!", I hear you say!
No they wouldn't.
See the criss-cross holes in them? They let the air in. Specially designed, you see.
Ps, That's not me in the picture, and THOSE aren't my shoes!
My legs are just like that though.
This product would be priced at around £8.50. About $14
Would you buy the waterproof socks for $14?
Invention 4: Hot Water Jacket
If you come from somewhere boiling you may not know know what a hot water bottle is. It is that thing in the picture. You fill it with boiling hot water, screw the stopper in, and put it at the bottom of your bed to warm your feet up in the winter. Yum yum.You should know what a jacket is.
So why have they made a jacket with 3 layers of material. You fill the middle compartment with water, and you put the jacket on. The jacket is snuggly warm, and it has a tiny (silent) heater in it to keep the water from getting cold.
And there you have a hot water jacket.
This product would be priced at around £44.99. About $100.
Would you buy the hot water jacket for $100?
Invention 5: Back To The Future Hover Boards
We were told these would exist by now. We were PROMISED. Science promised us.So where are they?
They don't exist yet.
For those of you who don't know what a Back To The Future Hover Board is... get out of my house.
We need them, and we need them now.
This product would be free for all tax payers.
One More Thing!
Was this lens cool, or not cool?
Congratulations! You got all the way to the bottom!
What did you think of this lens? Did you give it 5*? Did you vote in the price-polls after each invention? Which of the things on this page do you wish existed the most? Say what's on your mind - be my guest.

- Very cool. I wish there were environmentally friendly edible/biodegradable dishes. Once the meal is over you could toss them on the compost pile or feed them to your goats or even nosh on them yourself. Think of the water and detergent we could save!!

- Great lens. Very funny. However, can't say I've ever found myself standing alone in a field in the middle of the night, completely naked and not knowing how I've got there lol.

- I would like the Back to the Future Hover Board most and it is sad we don't have them yet. The alarm clock would come in handy for Mondays.

- Oh, Lewis, you made me laugh. I hate to tell you that waterproof socks already exist (search ebay). Of course they don't exactly look like the ones in your, uh, very interesting picture.

- Okay so i think i loved the waterbottle jacket the best. would the middle layer come with a metal turney stopper? I hope so. Also I think you might add an invention that deals with alarm clocks a little less painfully. Electrodes sounds painful. Maybe an alarm clock that runs away and hides on you.
