Failed Ideas

[Jaythulhu]

Political Correctness and the "All Children Are Special" movements have to be my favourite failed ideas.

That is actually a pretty darn good one. Get more of these...

Also: Repairing an airsoft gun under stress. Spring stabbed into palm! OW!

Once tried to bring civilization as we know it to an end with a pen, a hairnet and a bag of gummy worms, just to see if it was possible. It isn't, apparently. On top of that, you have to wake up so fucking early!

i tried to make extreme sports more extreme by adding fire

That only work for nicks, dude.. sorry...

Well, without the extreme sport part it is still often bound to fail... Damn it is always so embarrassing to run around with eyebrows missing :-S

The entire city of New Orleans. Let's build a city way below sea level, and just hope these levees hold. Seriously? Who the hell came up with that idea?

Those guys from the Netherlands I believe

Where to start...

pogo stick crutches
Gyroscope shoes
the iJesus
edible staples

and many more crushed ideas I'm forgetting.

I think the iJesus one just made my day.

Ehhm true ~ talking about New Orleans. What I meant was that the Dutch build almost a whole country below sea level. So they are the oldest culture that came up with that "nonsense" and didn´t get washed away till now - at least google couldn´t tell me about older examples.

But this thread is about failed attempts and Amsterdam seems to be holding up pretty good

In 1985 I tried to learn Japanese as part of my training to become a ninja... That just didn't pan out, but I can still say "underwear, frying pan, and toilet in Japanese."

That'd be because Ninjas are Chinese. They hate it when you mix them up. In fact, THERE'S ONE BEHIND YOU RIGHT NOW!

If history had tough us anything is that we don't learn the lessons history teaches us.

How did the Ninja part go?

About as well as my idea to be a travelling archaeologist, discovering ancient ruins and foiling ancient traps with my excellent whipping skills.

Well? We're all waiting to hear Underwear, frying pan and toilet. In the same sentence preferably.

You Learn all 1080 rules of true ninjaism at your second day. Unfortunately, I caught myself a splinter from my bamboo blowtube on the third day and decided that becoming a ninja wasn´t worth all that pain ~

which causes a dependency loop, so the constraints cancel themselves. I have no idea how to make it work.

Want to build this thing in real life? Hmmm.... I have it! The solution is to make the hot part hotter, the cold part colder, and then add some fins, flame decals, and a minigun.
