They can put a man on the moon....

This is a silly poll.

How do you finish the sentece above? What simple life issue is there that you CAN’T BELIEVE the scientific community hasn’t come up a solution for yet? (obviously things like human invisibility or a car that runs on hamster farts are a bit beyond the realm of “simple life issues.”)

For example, “They can put a man on the moon, but they can’t invent a hangover-proof beer.”

Maybe not the cleverest example, but certainly one of the most pressing issues in my life today.

P.S. Anyone know how I can change my user name without starting a new account?

…why can’t they put them all there?

Thank you, thank you! I’ll be here all month! Try the veal! Catch my next show at 8:30!

. . . why can’t they make a calorie-free Hamburger Helper that tastes good?

…but how do they make Teflon stick to the pan?

Oops. Wrong thread.

…but they can’t make roads in Ohio pot-hole proof.

…but they can’t make a “pill” for men.

…but I still get static when I take my cordless phone upstairs!

…but no matter how much I try to prevent it, my cats still get hairballs. <dammit>

(and many, many more, I just don’t have the energy…HEY!)

…they can’t make something that would let you adjust your circadian rhythms.

They can and they have … now all you have to do is trust us to take it … huge_grin

but they can’t make java/javascript
and c/c++ programs run faster (the computer speed covers the lack of speed).

…so why the hell don’t they, already? It’s been thirty years.

…but they can’t moon The Man.

(ok, that was lame…but wouldn’t it be nice if NASA mooned Congress the next time their budget was cut?)

We can put an man on the moon, but we can’t make killer robot police?
