Crazy Ideas Can Be Valuable
Crazy ideas can sometimes teach us something new and valuable, as you can see from the “thousand mile hole” and the “deniaphant.”
Sometimes it is just fun to create and share crazy ideas. For example, I recently read about one man’s idea to give away free gas. The catch was that there were remote-controlled paintball guns with cameras on them, connected to a web site on the internet. People would pay to fire paintballs at drivers as they filled their tanks. Apparently this gentleman even went as far as to ask city officials if they would allow such a business. They wouldn’t, but it was worth a good laugh in any case.
