...if I'm very very lucky and turn out to be the best writer this side if the 19th Century. I was watching an advert earlier and it was an Audi advert, I was watching it on sky and a red dot came up in the right hand corner of the screen and said 'win a trip to space press the red button' so I did. Then went online to find out more I thought this could be my chance to funk it up outside of the barriers of our atmosphere. www.winatriptospace.co.uk/blogs/patent/Problem is there's only one winner and the winner must write about what I think is the world's best patented invention, and why. Now I'm not a bad writer but there's no way I'm going to be the best.  Don't even know what invention to write about......? Any ideas will be welcome.  |

Depends what they're looking for. Internal combustion engine is probably too obvious?  You need something that's vaguely linked though... |

I was thinking about saying Funk GT but I really don't think they'll relate. I can't help but think whatever I choose it'll be hopeless. Why do you need to be a really good writer to go to space, thats shite, all you need is a funk bone and I've got one of them!

I wonder what the chances of me winning are? I think we should all enter so then at least we'd have a decent chance of one of us going to space. |

If you put your mind to it and aren't distracted mate you could do a decent entry. Just think about what they're looking for, something linked to space exploration / engineering stuff with a twist. That said I can't think what you should do! |

Up 250 words I think it said on that link. I'm incredibly rusty at writing but what the fuck I might give it a try.

Try to come up with some really funky point that will grab them by the balls, and make it stand out from the other entries. |

I think you can patent the mode of flight, ie. a big fat engine. Or, maybe even patent the arangement of the parts of the engine, as opposed to the actual engine.

Yeah you can patent a thing that helps you achieve flight in a specific way, but I'd imagine the concept of flight is pretty unpatentable, unless the descendants of Mr Terry Dactyl have some lucrative documents |

250 words?! 250 bloody words to say what the best invention is and why?! Bloody hell, I wouldn't have even started by then! Gimme 1000 or so and maybe we'll have something - 'til then, space will have to wait  |

I know neko it's fucked up surely I belong in space, but they expect me to write some bollocks to get there. Just let me funk it up please Mr Spacemen.
