    [​IMG] After watching a mourning program on TV, I'm going to have say with hands down that the English do come up with the best inventions. The invention on TV was saying that an englishman came up with a watch that has GPS on it (nothing new) but it also tells you where the nearest 4 pubs are. Now that's what I call an invention.

    [​IMG] Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I get a bad feeling with all these GPS products out there. There is a case where a car rental company was monitoring all the cars rented out. They would issue fines to people who they caught speeding. I get this "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU" feeling ...

    You better just get used to it Mat.

    I was recently called in as a witness in a violence case and they checked my phonerecords to establish my whereabouts at the time of the crime.


    I knew they could do it, but I didn't know that it was that easy and that common to do it

    [​IMG] As most of you know I'm still in Highschool and the coolest invention I've seen is a watch that you can change the channels on a TV for any TV and my friend is the one who has this and he plays with the moniters in our classes and the teacher is yet to find what is going on. :lol:
