I got one of those infinitely forwarded emails with these ingenious ideas.

When I did a little internet sleuthing, I found they were from The Chive, which I’m assuming is the precocious younger brother of The Onion, my favorite satirical newspaper.

They have a bunch of clever stuff on there, even a really complicated way to cheat on a test. The mother in me says, “In the time it takes you to cheat, you could have learned the info!” But the rebel in me salutes their cheeky innovation.

Check out their link for more simple solutions to everyday problems.

Do you have any über-cool simple solutions that are so obvious you can’t believe everyone doesn’t do them? I haven’t tried that boiling over trick … does it work? (Who says ‘over-boiling’ anyhoo?)
