Generating Creativity

If ever I am at a loss for creativity, I go to online generators. I know, it's simple-minded and in some ways, outright cheating...but when I'm brain dead, bits and bytes save the day.

I'm a big science fiction fan, and I like the humor of Doug Adams...my boys and I are always making up inventions on Saturday mornings, and some of the names on this list reminded me of our creations:

• Atom-powered Volt Cake

• Atomic Tripperanoid

• Candy-coated Fusion-powered Calculator-o-mat

• Chip Infuriatorazer

• Dimension Flurojoker

• Expresso Targeter

• Extra-dimensional Jazz Holder

• Flatulent Nucleocalculator

• Gyroscopic Chemical Infuriator-o-meter

• Knitting Ultrasonic Aerocubicle

• Nuclear Broccoli Retrosimulator

• Nuclear-powered Dancer

• Refittable Nailclipper

• Spastic Dimension Thermos

• Spastic Electronic Socks

• Supersonic Awesome Elevator

• Supersonic Dimension Rapper

• Supersonic Mascara Concealer

• Tripod-mounted Flatulent Missile

• Variable Yarn Bullet

The list is from Seventh Sanctum's Wacky Gadget name generator. I could poke around there all day long.
