i had an idea, months ago, when another friend of mine was on here. we never worked out the kinks of this. i proposed an idea. people as power. it is very simple. you have a huge hamster wheel, hooked up to a generator. you put a bunch of adhd people on it, give them caffeine and sugar, and let them go. granted, you would have to replenish your supply of people, but i think this will work!!! imagine! all you people with adhd people saving money on ritalin, and running the energy right out of your kids!!! (or yourself)!! lemme know what you think!!!

HEY! Watch it mister! I have ADHD, and so does my son. I expect both of my parents and my mom's brother and father did, too. Are you, or do you know people who are adhd? I laughed when I read this, because one of my very good friends had the same idea! Only, he sugested we build my son a large hamster wheel and put food in it so he could chase after it! He has always been very active; and I truly believe it would have worked. My big question is: who will be paying these people? And, you do not want them medicated if you want them to run for long! AS far as kids...sounds like fun, my grand daughter has ants in her pants...

please do not take offense. i too have adhd. that is why i thought it was amusing. if you feel offended, that was not the intent. i was merely trying to get a laugh out of people. :)

That might not be a bad idea. I know some kids that were like ferrets on a double expresso...LOL I think a lot of energy could be generated with something like this!

I would have been a good candidate for the wheel even though I do not have ADHD. I always used to have tons and tons of energy my friends would tease me that I was on something. Especially the later in the day it got, the more hyper I would become. Too bad lately it has been sucked clean out of me. hehheh
