So, trees are pretty cool, right? They take CO2 and turn it into O2. Awesome. Why can't we develop machines that can do that on a much larger scale? Then we can place these tall machines around the neighborhood, make them solar powered, paint them brown, and glue plastic leaves on them. Ten times the benefit of a real tree, with no annoying squirrels.

As I was eating (playing with) Runts yesterday afternoon and turning a banana piece and two orange pieces into a happy face, I realized that there might be an idea here. What if Runts or some other candy company released their candy in all sorts of different shapes? Not just banana crescents and the rest all circles. But, triangles, slivers, ovals, curves, etc. So, that kids could create designs and pictures with them before eating. The candy company could sell this high-fructose concoction as a total learning experience.
