> There are some out there with uranium based glaze too

I remember seeing some awesome pieces of glassware from the
turn of the 20th century on Antiques Roadshow

Back to patents/inventions, got passed on the NZ print version of
November 20th issue of Time magazine with the Best Inventions
Of 2006. Couple of things I'd thought of (magnetically levitated bed
for one. Not $1.5m though)

Previous US edition has the inventions on-line (not sure if all from
the print version are here)
