I hope you haven't fallen for this age-old trick and actually clicked on the link.
However, if you have, welcome. This is where ideas, plans, and dreams are built.

I like sleeping and I look forward to sleeping for a long time one day.

How about a lucid dream machine.


How about an entire "dream network" so that people can connect with each other in their dreams at will?

That would be cool. And everyone could have their own dream world. It could be like chat rooms. And there could also be regular world places. But you should be able to make them private, public and kick people out.

But there would still have to be some sort of rules as to what you can and can't dream in the presence of others, i.e. create something that could "kill" the other dreamers, or intentionally scar them for life.

However, when you're in your own world, you can dream up whatever you want at your own risk.

I like that. I would like to build my own world that no one else could enter.

Like I said, at will. You'd have complete control over who could and couldn't enter your world.

I would like to build my own world that no one else could enter.


And if you got lonely, you could just create people to live in the world with you. People who you'd have complete control over, of course, because it would be your world.

That's a nice concept. Only I'd still be lonely if I could control them.

You could control when and when you wouldn't be able to control their actions, but I suppose that sort of ruins the whole idea...

What would happen if a lie detector were to be invented that was 100% flawless?

Court would be sooooooooo much easier.

Judge: "Did you kill that man?"

Person with lie detector on: "No."

Lie Detector: "Lie Detected."

Judge: "Guilty. Next."

That only proves that the guy believed he was the killer. It is entirely possible that someone else killed the man, but in such a clever way that the original guy believed he was responsible. In fact, it is possible that the original guy was acting in a completely harmless manner.

For instance:
For your consideration, may I introduce you to a fellow named Joe. Joe is a good, patriotic American who loves his wife, drives a hummer, and has never eaten quiche. His wife, Janet, however, recently broke off a secret relationship she had with another man, Bob, because she wanted to make her marriage work out.

Bob doesn't take too kindly to this, but is patient. He wait until deer season, because he knows that Joe is an avid hunter. Then, he kidnaps Janet and dresses her in a deer costume, and drops her off near where Joe hunts. Joe, mistaking Janet as an actual deer, shoots and kills her. But before Joe reaches the body, Bob replaces the deer costume with an orange hunting vest, making it look like Joe shot her on purpose. Bob, who has ninja training, is never seem by Joe and leaves no trace of his presence.

In court, Bob admits to the affair, and claims that Janet told him that she was going to reveal everything to Joe while he was out hunting. This gives Joe a pretty clear motive, and makes it look like he shot her out of anger.

I assume this kind of thing happens all the time.

@ Aknerd

Well, thanks for using my real name aa the female of your plot! I know I didn't have to say a word and you would've never known but it's fun to pun this close to April 1st 'cause you never know...

Seriously, this plot has potential but does Janet have to shot? How cleche! I know, how about an icicle? I know that's been used but it's still cool, don't you think?

still cool

Ah! Ha...Haha....
I can never laugh like a normal person when confronted with a pun. But to take your question way to literally, well, because who hunts deer with an icicle? Yetis? Maybe. But thats taking this story in a whole other direction.

Also, the point is to leave SOME evidence (in this case a bullet from Joe's gun) that makes it look like Joe was the killer. I can't think of an appropriately punny title for the story...
I'm thinking maybe "Dearly beloved, Deerly Departed".
Or is that too obvious?
