+- Passion of the Christ missed opportunity :: in the Passion of the
+     Christ, they do the entire show using Latin, Aramaic, etc, with
+     subtitles. They should have had a part where Jesus does the
+     sermon on the mount, he turns to the camera, and starts speaking
+     in English, with no subtitles. It would have been 1.) biblically
+     accurate and 2.) awesome. It would have been such a powerful
+     example of Jesus' divinity, and it felt like they were setting up
+     for it the entire movie, and they missed it!

+- binary metric :: you make up new unit names for "2 centimeters", "4
+     centimeters", "16 centimeters", etc. Then no one will be happy!

+- physical pgp signatures :: someone should put together the

+     paper -- some combination of signing a photograph of the

+     which links to a website with the signed image, and a web of

+- meta eye :: you wire in a third optical input to the human brain,
+     but it doesn't tranduce light form the real world, bus instead is
+     connected to the "internet of things" and shows you metadata
+     about things you are looking at // serves as an interface to your
+     own mind and body. Then eventually simply real things without
+     metadata seem flat and fake compared to the objects in cities and
+     other annotated areas. This third eye doesn't occupy any of your
+     normal visual field but actually EXPANDS your visual field.

+- dream rewinding :: how to record a complete dream without disturbing

+     yourself, and one of you stays awake whike the other sleeps. then
+     you detect a dream in progress by monotoring rapid eye movememt
+     in your sleeping self, and you wake yourself up every few minutes
+     and tell yoursef about the dream. Then sleeping-your restarts the
+     dream, continuation passing style, forgetting everything that was
+     just said, and you repeat this process until the dream is
+     over. Then awake-you and sleeping-you merge each other by taking
+     sleeping-you and replaying the memories of awake-you, and you

-- perfusion pausing :: One problem with doing perfusion is that if you
