Inventions; Cactus Related and Other
It’s official – the US has granted a patent to a prickly pear cactus hangover remedy.
Now, that doesn’t mean it’s official that it works, or that prickly pear juice straight up will work either, or that anything works. Only that it’s been patented. For instance….
Razor with integral shaving cream dispenser.
And….
Shoelace Containment Device
And my favorite….
The Light Bulb
Now, if I had patented my inventions over the years….
I came up with the small 4″ desktop TV set when I was 8 years old. I dreamed it and woke up all excited and went over to my desk to turn it on, and it wasn’t there. I was very disappointed. I also invented the pop-out car radio, including just the face-plate versions, rather than the original entire radio coming out.
What have you invented? What have you dreamed that has come true?

When I saw the blog title and saw the picture of the razor I thought you were telling us someone had invented an electric cactus shaver.

I often wonder if people only look at the pictures. So now I know that including a picture of something so far out of context that it doesn’t make any sense is a good way to get people to read the text.
But an electric cactus shaver would be a good idea. Would it shave a cactus, or would it be made of cactus? I think it might be best with a reservoir of cactus spines.
