It’s not often that show stopping ideas come about, especially from the mind of Shannon. But in a manner that is sure to knock even the greatest minds (Newton, Einstein, Tesla, Edison or Torvalds) off their truly great pedestal, I think know I’ve done it. Like many before, an invention doesn’t have to be ground breaking, it doesn’t have to save lives, clean your house, or do anything in particular, it does need to make its mark though. Without further ado, I introduce the Bloody Genius.

Like the bastard child of Bloody Mary, it’s a new mix for the avid Guinness drinker who wants something more, and whilst the words Bloody and Guinness can never be muttered in the same sentence together, a small play on words was used to come up with the title.  And when the fad grows, the title will no doubt propel it in success.  The idea came to me when participating in the ultimate brain storm, down at Guinness Thursday’s at work, a small one to three hour period that takes part every Thursday.   It’s proved to be a valuable team building experience where many an idea has been born, and buried soon after, and much cod s*#t has been talked.

The worst thing an inventor could do would be “invent” something thats already been created, but a quick search of the most reliable source in the world, Google, returned nothing but an entry in the Guness Book of World Records to a clever Australian who set a record for drinking two full bottles (120ml) of Tabasco within 30 seconds.  A smart move, to be sure.

So, go out get a Bloody Genius, the delicious son of Mary, and enjoy.
