Any place one person can fit, two people can fit and engage in coitus. It's like Rule 34 for the physical world.

To clarify, I found that on Google Images, but it's the same 1908 model as mine.

This hasn't worked in enough decades that it kind of pushes the line between a "gadget" and an "objet d'art."

I'll start worrying about running out of inciental paper trash when I no longer have to haul bags of it to the curb and stop sticking it under my $%^&ing windshield wipers in parking lots.

Hence the headphones.

One that actually appeared in a dream: a phone/tablet/screen of adjustible size. Grab opposite corners and pull to make the screen bigger. Fold like a sheet of paper to shrink it.
