When i am Bored

I tend to get bored very easily. When this happens my mind wonders and i stop doing whatever i should be doing (for example i should be writing a paper right now but i decided to write a blog). This got me thinking, what are thee most outrageous things i have done when i am bored? One thing i often do when i am bored is think of inventions i could make to make my life more easy. There are three of note from last year. Now it is important to note i am a history major so i posses no skills essential to inventing something. however i did anyway and here are my top three inventions from first year university:

In third the Air Freshener

Now this invention comes in third because it is not very creative yet it worked...sort of. The room i had in first year had windows that did not open in a building which circulated that air once a week thus my room was stuffy and it stank. I had decided, while trying to work on a paper, that i could solve this problem. What i did was i took one of my dryer sheets and duck taped it to my fan. the fan blew air through the dryer sheet and freshened my room, or so i thought. My roomie thought it was a stupid idea because my room just smelled like laundry instead. My roomie did change his mind and decided that this was not the stupidest invention ever. He thought the next one was.

In Second the Backpack Tray of Laziness 

This invention was described by my roomie as thee worst invention in the history of mankind. I am a lazy person and i had designed an invention to get my backpack from the side of my desk (where i put it down everyday after class) to my bed (where i lay down every day after class). As a result of my laziness i was not willing to go from my bed to my desk to get it so, one day when avoiding an assignment, i made an ingenious invention. I took a cardboard box, flattened it and placed it beside my desk. I then made a rope of duck tape from the cardboard to my bed. i then created a hoop out of q tips and attached it to a hook on the wall. Provided that the path between my desk and bed was clean it worked perfectly...well almost perfectly. I had no way of resetting the tray and i was too lazy to get up and do it. 50% successful isn't bad though, is it? I would have to agree with my roomie, it was thee worst invention in the history of mankind but i think i could make it better, ill get back to you on it.

And in first Robo-Hitler

When you hear the name you probably think it is some sort of robot and it is...not. Now that i think of it it wasn't much of an invention but it was still a beautiful peace of art. I took duck tape and made a picture on our mirror. I made the head and neck of a robot and gave it a Hitler stache. Someone was then able to stand facing in the mirror and look like Robo-Hitler. What better way to start your day then looking in the mirror and seeing Robo-Hitler, i know you can't think of one. I was forced to take it down however because my roomie was having an interview about his magic (ill put a link to his website at the bottom of the page, check it) and we needed to clean the room up in 30 minutes. I had never cleaned my side of the room that year so it was rather dirty. Robo-Hitler however was almost left up. In our haste we forgot about him till moments before the journalist student came in. I often wonder what she would have wrote about him if it was left up. At any rate, Robo-Hitler was one of the most unique things i had ever made in my life. It took little time to make and no engineering skills but it was still awesome and if you could see it you would agree.

Now here is the link as promised:

you should really check it out, he is a great magician. Now, If you have ever made some cool invention that either worked well or just flat out failed i would love to hear about it. Anyway thats all from me
