Take time to smell the shamrocks...and invent

ABC is bringing back “American Inventor” for its Second Season and try outs are underway.   American Inventor is the nationwide search for “the ultimate in homespun ingenuity” that will make “one struggling inventor’s dream come true.”  The grand prize this time is one million dollars…a prize giving you reason enough to see if your next great idea will make the cut. 

Speaking of inventions, about a month ago I had the pleasure of being a judge for the Oklahoma Student Invention Exposition and was very impressed by the innovative thought and hard work by all of the students.  Of course, some inventions were more thought out than others, but the surprising thing was that inventions from the third grade students were comparable with inventions from high school students.  I wonder how old Ben Franklin was when he had his first “great thought.”

Finally, in honor of St. Patrick’s day and this “inventive” post, I give you the Beer Throwing Fridge.  Enjoy.
