Well...why not?

I've got a few ideas that the FP Gal thinks are either crazy or unworkable. Or she just nods and smiles and doesn't expect anything will ever be done with them. Thought I'd share them here.

1) A cat museum. This would be a gallery with cat paintings and sculpture. And a few resident cats. It'd be simple and elegant. The natural crossover between artistic types and cat lovers would make this a hit. (I'm surprised that this isn't already here in Mpls.)
2) An icicle maker. This would be a freestanding yard sculpture that would collect snow and then encourage the resulting melt into forming icicles. You could add wind chimes for the warmer seasons.
3) A six story tower for the backyard. Made of brick with ivy trailing down it. Maybe a garden on top. Or an observatory. This might be against zoning laws. And the neighbors might not like it. And we can't currently fund six stories of construction. But, boy, it'd look cool.
4) A unified theory that depends on strange similarities between garbanzo beans and marsupials. This is somewhat dependent on my belief that 'dark matter' theories are just scientific filler until a new theory bridges the gap and explains the 'missing' mass of the universe.
