Running Board Dog

Hello IGWers,
Somedays you just don’t want Fido in the car riding with you. He is going to bark and make a mess of the place. Well, apparently if you lived in the 1950s you used to be able to have Fido have his own little area alongside of you even while not being in the [...]

Uncomfortable Couches

Hello IGWers,
Now I’m all for expressing creativity, but sometimes it goes a little far in the furniture realm. When I’m watching the boob tube I just want to sit back and relax. Unfortunately for me I have to worry about getting comfortable in the following settings.

The Cactus Couch

The Oil Couch

The Fire Couch
Well hopefully you [...]

Interesting Find: Gift Cards Cure Aids

Hello IGWers,
I was reading the newspaper today and found out that gift cards are bringing down the rate of AIDS. I think that this is a bit crazy, but it is entirely true. Apparently giving out 100 dollar gift cards has reduced the AIDS rate for those involved by 32 percent.
I am starting to wonder [...]

Food Gifts Expire

Hello IGWers,
This innovation gone wrong comes out of personal experience. The product is a very creative recipe combination. This could be everything from cookies to cupcakes. The problem is not that it isn’t creative or clever. The problem is that people sit with creative contraptions for years. By the time that people decide to make [...]

I was watching television today and I saw an ad that was very peculiar. The ad was for a new flavor of Absolut Vodka. It depicted a very large man jumping into a lap lane. Throughout the duration of the commercial and the lap the very large man turns into Michael Phelps.
Maybe they were [...]

Another Alarm

Hello IGWers,
I think the TV with a caution alarm is not a good idea. The problem with the invention is that you may hit the thresh-hold for alarms in a household. You have alarms in your clock, computer, security system and cell phone. I think one on your TV with a person talking and telling [...]

Free Rice

Hello IGWers,
I just stumbled on Free Rice. I had heard about it for a couple of months, but I finally checked it out today. I think it is a great idea, however, donating rice is one thing; donating other types of food is another.
I decided to think of the worst foods to donate in mass.
1. [...]

I couldn’t believe it…inflatable dart board

Hello IGWers,
I couldn’t believe it until I saw it. I was reading about some less than stellar ideas and I found the inflatable dart board. What does someone have to be thinking to come up with the inflatable dart board? I mean I got this great idea to throw darts at something that will pop.
The [...]

Pickles in Chicken

Hello IGWers,
I was having a chicken sandwich today and I was informed that their was pickle juice in my sandwich. A bit disturbed, I came up with a list of other other nasty injections into meat. Here it is as follows;
1. Olive juice- If I find olive juice in my next sandwich, the sandwich shop [...]

Beanie Baby Hedge Fund

Hello IGWers,
What if Grandma wasn’t so crazy? I mean beanie babies were everywhere.

This prompted an investigation. The market is doing terrible. Would those little stuffed animals have helped line your pocketbook better than the market? Below are some of the questions we first investigated.
Some of our questions?
1. Are their beanie baby options?
2. Can you short [...]
