Trustafarians

I’m met quite a few trustafarian’s in my life. I met a Getty and a Mori (huge land and building owners in Japan) and a girl who inherited her fortune from the grandfather who invented that machine that makes those giant,round hay bales. I even met a heir to the Jello Gelatin fortune .

The Jello heir guy in particular pissed me off as the Jello business was sold off in 1923. That’s along time for multiple generations of trustafarians to be living off the tasty gelatin treat. Especially as the damn stuff is derived from cow bones.

So I’ve become somewhat accustomed to “those who have nothing to do”. Or even those who have the where-with-all and balls to create nonsense products. Things like Pet Rocks , and Silly Putty , and the attachment to a hockey stick that allows you to pick up dog poo.:

Attachment for Blade of Hockey Stick
Minnesota resident Martin Dehen has come up with a new use for the hockey stick – cleaning up yard waste. As the inventor notes, it's great for the nasty stuff, especially "rotten hornet-infested crab apples and dog waste.

"If the waste is to be flung by hand to a desired location such as a compost heap, the waste may crumble upon the head of one who throws the waste."

Nice.

But my newest hero’s are the people who have come up with this series of high-powered lasers:

The videos on this site show them doing important research…such as popping balloons. The inventors also have performed other important research and testing such as:

• Beam visible with smoke or fog in lighted areas
• Beam visible at night
• Beam visible in humid conditions
• Beam visible without smoke or fog in lighted areas
• Make holes in black trash bags
• Open cut healing power
• Beam visible in dry conditions in lighted areas
• Cut black electrical tape
• Ignite wooden or paper matches
• Pop dark colored balloons
• Melt Plastic

Just think what would happen if a truly malicious mind got hold of one of these evil toys:

Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?

Number Two: Sea Bass.
