A display comprised of the usual seeming tall ship inside a bottle, but with the following twist:
The bottle actually has water in it. The ship is floating in the water.
The bottle is on a stand, which conceals power units powering wind, churning water and perhaps even lightning.

Didn't we do something like this? Didn't *I* do something like this? Oh, yeah, but without the motor. |
|
|
I was actually thinking about a more ambitious unit, too, like perhaps a yacht replica sailing in an endless pool (with a fan powering the sails) being a nice house display for the super rich, or a casino, maybe |

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Vote for me before I fall into despair, oh

Praise indeed! I should be careful, lest my head bursts. |
|
|
I like the lightning and Ling's song! |
|
|
[theircompetitor] has managed to write an idea which incorporates artificially-created lightning, without once mentioning Van der Graaff generators. |
|
|
In 'calm' mode, it can have St Elmo's fire and function as a nightlight. |
|
|
Bun for the idea, and for Ling's anno, and for my anno. |
|
|
Why should I, [hippo], I don't recall him ever mentioning me? |

Came across a cartoon recently, where a shipwrecked sailor on a desert island opens a bottle to read: "You have no new messages." |
|
|
This wouldn't have anything to do with the recently posted (and completely ignored) "Massage in a Bottle" thing does it? |
