I once dreamed that Aliens (like the movie) Micro Machines existed.
A few days later I saw them in stores.
That was a weird moment in my childhood.

I distinctly remember playing with some plastic dinosaur toys along with my Transformers toys and pretending that they were "dino-bots". Then all of a sudden they were on the show and the toys were coming out.
I was like five years old telling my mom that they stole my idea.

I was visiting my friend this past week and he told me about how he was going through some old discs the other week cleaning things up when he found an old Mac disc from 2001. It had a copy of Oregon Trail Deluxe that I'd used a Mac program hacker he had on. I redid all the text in the game at his house one day with a little help from random friends.
People could get STDs, all of the Indians rambled on about the battles between the pirates and ninjas and then how the vampires got involved (and instead of getting bit by a snake, you'd get bit by a vampire), people made fun of the historic sites like saying Soda Springs tastes worst than Crystal Clear Pepsi, how the one giant rock (forget it's name) looked like a wang, etc. He said he played it for a few minutes and laughed when got to choose his career and one of the options was "ass doctor".
Unfortunately, we never got the stuff to change the pictures in the game or how to change much more than the text. I was gonna make the wagon a badass pimped out 70's van, add topless hookers, etc.
He even joked we should hire some cheap Indian labor to recode the game in flash.

Mine involved work and it ended up being implemented. As you all may or my not know, I am a corrections officer. I am in close contact with inmates. I run a tier of 124...all by myself. Well, I have rules that must be adhered to. If not, there are consequences. Well, if some inmates deem you too harsh, they drop a note(known in jail lingo as a kite) threatening the officer's life. The end result is that the officer is pulled from that job which means until the investigation is complete it's a different officer every day and more often than not the unit is run not as strictly. Inmates know this so everytime they get an officer who enforces the rules, they drop a kite. Now, let me preface this by saying that 99.999999999999% of the time when a kite is dropped, it's a paper threat and nothing more. If they're going to take me out, they'll just do it and not announce it.
OK, back on point. I was talking with a lieutenant that there is a way to get these stupid notes from being dropped and it's by using the inmates against each other. My idea was simple: a note gets dropped threatening the life of a staff member be it officer or whomever. The officer gets pulled, yes but then the entire unit is locked down and each and every cell is "tossed" meaning each cell is thoroughly searched for weapons and other contraband. When we leave the cell, it's a mess. Picture 62 cells torn up. Nothing broken but believe you me, crap is confiscated. Things like TV's and radios that had been given to other inmates by inmates getting out(there is a procedure in doing this but some don't like to wait). Food not in it's proper container. Mattresses tossed on the floor our outside the cell(especially if I'm conducting said search). A real pain in the arse to those incarcerated. Do this a few times and what eventually happens is that the inmates who don't cause any trouble, which usually is about 110 out o the 124 I have will tell the 14 or 2o knuckleheads that if they do this crap again, they'll be delt with.
This method was used not once but twice last week. We'll see how it goes.

When I was about 9 years old, I came up with an idea of Nintendo 3-D. Basically what N64 was. Damn Nintendo beat me to it.

I had an idea for a dessert pizza (Cookie base, raspberry jam instead of sauce, chocolate instead of cheese, various candies instead of topping). Then I went to a restaurant and discovered something similar in the dessert menu. Stole my idea and not even profiting off it by selling it to Pizza Hut for $200 Million.

I want to invent some kind of device that you can smash repeatedly. Like, you take your anger out on it by smashing it to the ground, but it has magnets or something so it reassembles.

Rap + Opera = Rapera I'm telling you, that's kentucky fried gold on a stick. Then he walks over to the refrigerator, Then he pushes it back, Then he looks over at her, Looks like she's about to have a heart attack, Then he looks at the pie on the counter, One slice is missing, Now the story's getting scarey, Because he comes to realise, The Bridget is allergic to cherries, Then he says "Move!", She says "No!", He says "Move!", She says "No!", "BITCH MOVE!", She moves, And then, He looks at the cabinet, He moves to the cabinet, He's looking at the cabinet, Now he's opening the cabinet, Now pause the story y'all, 'Cause what I'm bout to tell you is so damn twisted, Not only is there a man in the cabinet, But the man, Is a midget!Hip-Hopera

You'd be better off making a bean bag that won't tear. That way you can beat the bejesus out of said bean bag without the mess.

For some reason, I've always thought it would be awesome if farmers/botanists/whoever could engineer fruit that would cry in pain as you eat it.

I though toilet seats tend to be boring so I came up with the idea of them having patterns while I was at school, I was gutted when I saw them in the shops a few years later.
I'm also fairly sure I would have invented the sandwich if I hadn't been beaten to it.

Ever seen those massage chairs at shopping malls? The ones where you can wait for people, put a buck in and get a massage while a voice on the chair says soothing things?
I would program it to say random things. Like, "I watch you when you pee."
