I have long felt that Ben Franklin was wrong about his thought that "necessity is the mother of invention". I contend that "laziness is the mother of invention".

I believe that this video proves several points.

1. That I may be right,
2. How lazy can you get?
3. This "engineering student" has way too much time on his hands.

Do you have someone on your "gift list" that is hard to buy for because they have "everything"? This could be the ticket.

How many of you want one of these?

The biggest problem I see is the beer shower one gets when they open those cans.

 

My badge of honor for years was I tried to be the laziest engineer in the building. good managers recognized the value of the statement, the idiots never understood.

in short I never had the intention to re-invent the wheel if somebody had already done it for me.

and I would worry about the beer-numter scene if you caught it ok.

 

Yes, you must be lazy to have invented this. Yes, I agree with the shower comment above.

 

Lol, a cold beerpult. Unfortunately it causes the dreaded "shaken beer syndrome" than can be very dangerous. It has caused the death of several beers over the past few years. It is also just as dangerous, although not as smelly as standing behind a cow that is deficating and sneezing at the same time.
