Million Dollars...baby

I had a million dollar idea and I'm going to write it here trusting that nobody is going to steal it. ...I hope you're sitting down for this! Ready? It's a Sistine Chapel puzzle! But wait, there's more! This isn't going to be some ordinary run of the mill jigsaw puzzle. This is going to be a scale model Sistine Chapel puzzle that will cover every square inch of any room in your house. They're going to have to be custom made to fit your room, but it will transform that room into your own priceless replica of the Sistine Chapel. The technical challenge of it will be to size it up to any shaped room. I'm thinking I can do it by getting a 360 degree panoramic picture from the center of the chapel. That will be the template. Say, for instance, the chapel is in the basic shape of a cube. I will take the cube and fit it into a sphere (with all 8 corners touching the sides of the sphere) and then extrapolate onto the sphere whatever is visible from one point inside the cube. Then once I have that sphere (which will be severly distorted because of perspective) I can resize it to accomodate your room (which will be a different sized cube than the chapel itself). The only real problem is that the room will be wickedly distorted unless you are positioned in the right spot. Now I know that hardly anybody is looking forward to spending years peicing together a puzzle that big, so for a few extra bucks I will send you the puzzle slabs already put together (but jigsawed so it will look like you spent a thousand hours on it). Then you just glue them to the wall and commence the praying. The Sistince Chapel is really the tip of the iceberg though. I could do Grand Central, Taj Mahal...anything! So, million dollar idea? I'll be laughing all the way to the bank! I just have to open a jigsaw workshop or something. Who's with me? Jan?

You have far too much time on your hands. You should come over and mow my lawn.

I'll place the first order...A replica of the oval office. Complete with red emergency phone. That way when I compalin about the government, I'll feel like I can actually do something about it.

I think that with the spherical template idea, I'll be able to make any regular old square room of your house into an optically illusory oval office.

Wow, that's...uh... some plan you got there, let me know how it works out for you. And don't worry, that idea is all yours.
xxkpmxx on
and your contribution to humanity is....?

That is by far the worst idea I have ever heard in my life. Almost as bad as the "jump to conclusions mat". -R

Nice comparison dude.

So i guess he needs to get hit by a van to see his vision come true.

Well I thought it was a fun idea, but I guess everyone here is just a big giant self-loathing pit of bitter despair.

your just projecting your innerslef on us.

I like the idea. Whatever floats your boat. Who is anybody to criticize someone's idea or dash their creativity. What a bunch of negative people. Geez. Even if he is only kidding, people are so damn negative and have no senses of humor. *sigh*. Joe let's move to an island. Cavutto, make me a full scale island I can move too, preferably with palm trees.

Well half of my comments were to some of Joes comments, he just took them out to make me look like and asshole.

Wow that was one big list of comments that said absolutely nothing! Good Job guys!

Wow, I figured you would all be jealous, but I didn't think it would turn into raging, unbridled envy. :)

It's been over a year and nobody's stolen this gem of an idea yet?!?  Is this proof that Timbo's been lying about having our blogs turn up on search engines or do I have to resign myself to the fact that this was a world-class stinker of an idea.
