Right now if I could invent anything it would be a car engine that could run on snot.  My sons have been generating massive amounts of mucus for the last couple of months (not sure why) and now that it’s allergy season it’s my turn.  I figure by myself I’m producing gallons of this stuff a day, so fueling our vehicle would be good for the pocketbook and our contribution to the "war on global warming."  I could also share the technology with all parents of toddlers, those little 24 inch humans who would be the equivalent of Saudi Arabia in the snot economy.

Speaking of the "war on global warming", does it bother anyone else that we continually declare war on everything?  We have the "War on Drugs", the "War on Childhood Obesity", and the oxymoronic "War on Domestic Violence."  Will someone please declare war on the practice of declaring war on the banal?
