Hey where's the next one?
I like the idea and enjoyed reading them. The writing style is great. Just a couple of suggestions though.
1. Leave RL out of it.
2. Make them more fantastic and possibly unusable and/or impractical.
Feel free to use these suggestions directly or just the concept.
A magical Ulbernaught(sp?) tracking braclet thast warns if an Ulbernaught is too close to the city but takes twice as many people to install as it would take to kill the Ulbernaught.
A rat trap to put in the sewers that includes a spring and a sword and the inventer gets caught in it while doing a demonstration of its safety.
A new way to fasten on armor more quickly that leaves big weak spots in the armor.
Keep em comin'.
