This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

Well shoot! That would be quite a sight! It would give some ammunition to our shared vision and add some range to our communications. I think I could really openly carry our project plans along at a steady clip.

Huh. Good idea. I may trial that tomorrow with a nerf gun and a sticky note.

ETA - we currently use a cat laser pointer.

How does this work? Attach the message to the cat and point the laser at the intended recipient?

It probably does, I see no problems with that solution.,

We have 17 people facing all different directions in one office. To get someone's attention we aim the laser at their computer annoyingly until they turn around.
