“As it turns out, the tiny glass bulbs resting on your paintwork have a habit of flapping about in the wind while you’re driving, covering some cars in tiny scratches.”

Only 1/3 did. 1/3 voted against and 1/3 decided they didn’t care enough to bother. 

One might also take this thought - anyone who is driving around could be a potential murderer. Best to stop and detain them all on the grounds they might do something later.

They cannot arrest the car, presuming they even find it. This is a criminal violation that needs to be against the driver. If they lose sight of the car for even a little bit the occupants can bail out or, if the car is found later, they owners can claim they don’t know who was driving, or that it was stolen.

Gifting the sales staff with a 10 pound bag of Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears would be more appropriate.

Ducted fish motors?

Imagine not noticing the front of the truck going up and the rear going down.

Normally that seating would include the fishing rod pocket and a gimballed beer can holder, plus the harness to stabilize the rod holder when the marlin started fighting.

Anything can be reused if enough effort goes into it. Just whittle away anything that isn’t the rotary engine. 

Water pipes produce little elemental lead when the water company uses anti-corrosives to keep the water from dissolving those pipes - both the lead pipes and the iron and copper pipes.

It doesn’t really ward off starvation - it allowed populations to expand until they met the next constraint. In the US and Asia that is going full speed towards wars over water. Add in the extra people burning more fossil fuel and accelerating climate change and it is definitely going to get to the big squeeze sooner. 

All that is required is for businesses to shift the operating hours.
