Any inventors in the house?

Have you ever had a great idea that you tell all of your friends about, but don't do anything to make it happen and then you see it or something similar on tv or in the news and it made the inventors tons of money.

I'm in the web business, so I see it ALL THE TIME with sites, but did you invent the clapper or the thigh master before someone else got it? What was your idea?

Yes! All the time. People (usually family) always say I have stupid idea's then we see it on TV and I flip out!

Lol! Time to get a copyright! Don't you hate that!

Ever heard of the Hercules hook? It's a little wire that you poke through the wall that leaves a little hole and uses leverage to hold up photos and mirrors - me and my dad made those years ago!

Years and years ago, back in middle school. me and mostly my friend came up with an idea to do tubes into tubes to make collapsible crutches for a invention thingy we had to do.

he ran with it for a while but nothing ever happened because of liability of what if they broke while someone was using them.

then about 4-5 years ago, i saw this same concept, but in luggage for the pull out handle.

same idea. different application. it had been years and years since I thought about that when I saw that luggage the first time
