Create an Internet site for members of the public to
                       upload drawings of people created from their
                       imaginations. Once published, visitors to the site could
                       look for themselves or for friends and upload actual
                       photographs to prove the likenesses. Visitors who
                       spotted an accidental representation would be able to

327purchase the original doodle – now an uncanny portrait
                       – for a price that would compare favourably to that
                       charged by professional portrait artists.

                       Encourage the public to exercise by introducing special
                       signs to public parks, roadsides and other spaces
                       offering distances from the sign to another given point. A
                       sign might read ‘400 metres to the kid’s swings’, for
                       example, and would also declare the world record for the
                       specific distance. An automatic timer could be employed

328such that the runner hits the button on the sign and then
                       again on the final point to see their own personal time.
