George is fed up with all the problems we face everyday and has decided to make the world a better place. Every now and then George identifies one of these problems and comes up with a solution in form of an illustration.

Invention 2



The world in my eyes seems to have been running quite smoothly this past week and I haven't been able to pin point a specific problem. Therefore I have not been able to come up with any solutions either. Well there is one problem. I don't have enough time. So even when there is a problem I don't have time to come up with a solution. But with my new invention it won't be a problem anymore. Here is the invention number 2 .... A time machine. If you look closely I have set it to take me back to the year 1982. I wanted to be a witness of my own birth.  

I am going to spend this week experimenting with it so it might be a while until my next post. I'll probably be back last week or in 10 years. Au revoir.

Invention 1

My scanner works! All I needed to do was to plug it into the computer. They are tricky these things. Anyway here is my invention for the problem discussed earlier (August 23). It involved a shop assistant who makes life difficult by not understanding what you want. This is the solution I came up with.

Scanner


You have all probably been waiting for this absolutely wonderful solution that I was going to come up with. Unfortunately I have been subject to my own incompetence in making the scanner work. So you'll have to wait until my technician sorts it out for me. Meanwhile I'll post another very relevant illustration. I am not sure what it is but it has to do with polyatomic robots and the big bang. I was given a patent for it and am hoping to get it published in a school book or something. Maybe it will be printed in a research magazine. Maybe this has something to do with the cure for measles.

The world is unfair

The world is a cruel place to live in. There are wars, famine, Ryanair check-in policy. The world is unfair. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting bigger and Kylie Minogue receives an OBE for her services to music. The world is also somewhat stupid. Why is there braille on an ATM key board when a blind person would probably not be able to read the screen anyway?
Every day is a constant battle. For example I walk into a shop and ask the expert " I am trying to get Internet at home, could you help me and maybe recommend an appropriate Internet server to match my needs?"
He says: " Yes, you have to look it up on the Internet"
Me: " eh... Well that's the thing, I don't have Internet, how do I choose..."
Him: "You have to look it up on the Internet!"
Me: "But.."
etc...
After years of struggling to make sense of it all, I have found it necessary to offer the intelligent Internet world another blog dedicated to silly things that happen around us. However being that I am an optimist and also very very clever, I have taken it upon myself to come up with some practical solutions that if applied will improve our quality of life. Hopefully you will put into practice some of the suggestions and together we can make the world a better place. So hold on to your hats, as next week I will come up with the perfect solution for the situation described above.
