FAQ: I wish I'd invented that...

The end of the week draws nigh, and the call of the wild hits as people are let loose from offices and workplaces around the country. We like to mark this moment with a little competition I call the Friday Afternoon Question.

This week, being seven days long, is no different. This week I thought I'd plug in to your envy centres and find out the following.

What one thing do you wish you invented?

It could be a technology, it could be a scientific advance, it could be a language. It could have made you rich, or made you famous - or neither. But what's the one thing you think it would have been great to be known as the inventor of?

Answers in the comments, and the best one wins a groovy prize.

Sidenote: As I was away for a couple of days this week I didn't really have a chance to catch up on the answers from last week's FAQ so I'm going to delay announcing a winner until next time.
