"I invented something, just now!"

I've always wanted to be a skateboarder. I dress in that kind of gippo style and I say 'cool' as lot, so I'm bound to be good at it - but I can't afford a board to break my neck on :(

So my solution is this:
Whilst walking home from the town today I saw some strips of metal that are used to wheel bikes into a subway type thing. So I ran, and jumped, and slid down the metal on my shoes. It felt cool. I had done something that I would probably have killed myself doing on a skateboard and it didn't look stupid either. The only problem was that it was a bit slow. So my invention is strips of metal that attach to the soles of your shoes and you can run, jump and grind things - anywhere and everywhere! I shall call them 'Sole-surfers', and I really am thinking about doing something about it.

Think about it. They would be so cheap to make and sell, and would work on the same principle as skateboarding, except it's YOU doing the running - not the board. That for me is the great thing. You don't have to worry about balance, ollying, or any of the stupid crap that comes with skateboarding. You just run, jump and grind. Yes! That can be the tagline - 'Run, Jump & Grind'. I can see it now. I bet some bright spark has already thought of it though.

Seriously, does anyone know a way I could do something about this? I think it's a really good idea and could potentially be loads of fun. You could even make some that are ice skates as well.

Ha ha ha! Good old Blakey!

"Sir, I made a really wicked ring, and gave it to you last week. You lost it, gimme an A."

Actually, in hindsight I feel a bit of a git.

Yeah, that'll be logical, considering monkey_man has evidence, and the other bloke doesn't.

I've invented an anti gravity device, but I'm yet to test it. In theory, it should work to some extent.

I need money though, lots of money.

No, because someone could reply saying

"No, I invented them last week"

Then you'd both have to prove who thought of it and they could easily decide the other person did

But surely the mere fact that it was posted here and is documented and witnessed is proof enough that I came up with the idea.

Interesting idea

*semajal runs of to the Patents office*

Nah that would be mean.

But you should patent your idea before telling everyone.
