Pay a visit to the Half Bakery.
Your one stop shop for Half Baked ideas.

From Self organising traffic cones to Pronouncing numbers more efficiently; From the Minion Training School to the Pocket Warm Fuzzy, these ideas are definitely 1 gas mark short of a full roast.

Isn't it annoying that so many companies think a swooshing logo looks cutting edge.

Humans are primates, so why shouldn't you live on monkey chow?

Traffic cones

... actually I can see the point of self organising traffic cones ... say you're going to close off the fast lane of the motorway at some point in the evening and open it up again for the morning rush hour for three days in a row because you're replacing all the overhead lights or something ... .

With the SOTC you put them down on the hard shoulder outside the fast lane on day one. As the evening approaches you send out a truck with big flashing lights and an arrow to point people out of the way, and two miles of traffic cones smartly roll out into place. The next morning you send the signal and, starting at the far end, two miles of traffic cones trundle out of the way and the lane is open for traffic again, repeat the process the next two days (and during the night, if someone swerves at takes out a half dozen traffic cones, the rest spread out to fill the gap!) and on the last day you get them to trundle back towards the first cone so when the truck with the big lights comes out, all the cones are sitting there looking pleased with themselves and ready to be picked up and carried to their next exciting adventure!
