+- stage magic rituals :: rituals should incorporate elements of stage
+     magic. Foe example in Teller's tempest, they have a scene where
+     they levitate a crown in front of someone, then put it on his
+     head. They also have a wedding ceremony where they levitated the
+     bride as well. Actual weddings and other ceremonies should
+     incorporate stage magic as an enhancement. 
+
+- isotope time dilation :: use a cyclotron to speed up rare isotopes
+     developed in nuclear fusion experiments. The relativistic time
+     dilation will stop the isotopes from decaying, and allow time to
+     study them. This is based on radioactive isotopes that fall
+     through the earth's atmosphere that take hundreds of times
+     longer to decay than normal.
+
+- marsupial stimulation :: You take a freshly pouched marsupial baby,
+     and show it videos and other interactive things while it matures
+     in the pouch. What mental effects would this have?
+
+- dynamic re-keying :: Some older ways of tuning insturments sound
+     better, but we use the even-tempered scale today because it makes
+     it easier to switch keys. With electronic music, why not make
+     key-annotations and dynamically re-tune the piece to sound good
+     in the current key? Coule be done as a midi+annotation -> midi
+     compiler for experimentation.
+
+- death always implies damage :: is is possible for a corpse to differ
+     from a living person only in the fact that one is dead and the
+     other is alive? NO! A corpse must always have some sort of
+     molecular damage which causes the loss of function!
+
+- inner eye :: Surgically install a bunch of tiny cameras inside a
+               person. Then, you can activate them all and get a
+               picture of your internal organs for diagnostic
+               purposes. 
+
+- chaos rails :: should make a visulazation of the homoclinic tangle,
+                 it's truly beautiful.
+
+- context gobbler :: this would be in "inside-out macro" that takes
+     the context (like you use for things like error, continuations,
+     and friends) and transforms it to something else. Maybe useful?
+
 - cryonics middle ages :: some people say that cryonics is an
      experiment and that it is foolish to wait until we have revived a
      human. There is a middle ground where the procedure has a dismal
