I hope they patent this little device soon. Some of the best inventions are so simple. They just take an "Aha" moment to create. I wish I had had this little device many years ago when my lawn had a few majestic oaks in it. Hurricanes have solved that 'problem' for me.

I like the description of the video: "Harvesting Palm Fruit with the Nut Wizard." |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

I want one. We have an oak in our front yard that drops stupid little green acorns all summer long. Even the squirrels don't want them and they're a pain to walk on in bare feet. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

What a nutty idea. Now, since I have hickory nut shells GALORE in my yard after the squirrels get done eating the nutmeats, plus a few acorns, I might try it. |

I would need at lease the harvester version. But even then I think it would be inadequate for my lawn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IPJZQBqWiw&feature=related |

For big jobs get the Acorn Harvester. Select the large or small acorn model depending on which oak tree you have. http://www.baganut.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=42 Watch it work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-A8Lgr7Lqk&NR=1 They even have models to pick up paintballs and shotgun shells.

How about cigarette butts? Now that the snow has melted I've discovered my front lawn is full of them thanks to the guys that came in January to replace the roof. |

Seems to be just a modification of the tennis ball picker or a golf ball picker, among other similar devices. Helpful no less, I'm sure. |
