+- validating neurocryopreservation :: Problem : you want to test
+     whether a brain is functionally preserved through vitrification,
+     but you don't want to figure out how to preserve all the other
+     organs in the animal. It might be possible to keep the rest of
+     the body at almost 0C and vitrify just the head for only a few
+     minutes. Induce hypothermia, then separate out the head's blood
+     supply from the rest of the body, then just cryoptotect and
+     vitrify the head. Might need some sort of thermal guard to keep
+     the outer head / neck from becoming too cold. You leave the
+     spinal cord intact! Then you devitrify to 0C, remove
+     cryoprotectant, and then reattach the blood supply. You can
+     determine brain preservation using behavioral assays!
+
+- freezing water purifier :: you slowly freeze water, but also run
+     liquid water over the frozen mass. This takes away basically all
+     impurities and creates "washed ice" then you melt the ice. Maybe
+     you could re-use the heat from creating the ice to melt the ice?
+
+- ultra strength :: allow a person to visualize their muscle
+                    recruitment patterns. Give them adrenaline and let
+                    them feel what it's like to have the normal limits
+                    removed. See if they can replicate the effects.
+
+- phone names :: make a PX record for domain names that's like the MX
+                 record, except that it is a phone number instead of
+                 an IP address. That way, you can use the domain name
+                 registration system to provide names for phone
+                 numbers. Then, as long as you control the domain, you
+                 can point people to your current phone number by
+                 updating that record. 
+
+- edible flowers :: Edible white flowers that you put in a colored
+                    solution with flavor. When the flower turns the
+                    right color, it is also flavored and ready to eat!

 - suicide cryonics :: according to [[http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/06/magazine/06suicide-t.html][this]], people who commit impulsive
      suicides have a newfound sense of the importance of life. Perhaps
      they are good cryonics targets.
