Ages ago read a New Yorker article about an innovative laptop designer who also had a patent on a mattress that had a long hollow running across the entire shoulder area so that you could rest your arm under your partner’s pillow without too much disturbance.

That thread was started before this one.

Now [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=828616) post is pretty close to my suggestion “Best pocket-sized 10 kilowatt generator for under $20?” But at least he is no longer asking on opinions of sticking batteries in sections of pipe, wiring them together, and strapping them to a backpack.

That one has an actual answer.

$5, unless the seller can hook it up to air and show me it works. Then as high as $15.

If I decided to start clipping my toe nails, should I save them in case they someday become a form of currency?

How could I make my portable rotary phone setup weigh less so I can move it comfortably in a fanny pack?
