Andrew's Bad Night

We were enjoying a little American Inventor on television last night. All was going well until we saw this guy.


His name is Gregg Chavez and he has made it to the top three and could very easily win $1,000,000 next week. "Why is this so bad?", you might ask. Well, because he might win $1,000,000 for an idea that Andrew had 2 years ago.

Some of you are familiar with Andrew's million dollar ideas. He has many of them. But, this is actually the 2nd one that has been "taken". Gregg Chavez's idea is the "Guardian Angel". It is an angel that goes on the top of your Christmas tree and puts out a fire if your tree catches on fire. Andrew seriously had this idea about 2 Christmases ago. We all thought is was a great idea, but we didn't really know how to go about patenting the idea and then producing it. Apperently Chavez didn't either because we learned last night that he came to the show with only a drawing of his idea. He hadn't even tested it out.

So, Andrew is a little bummed that his idea really was a million dollar idea and that he isn't going to get a million dollars for it. Bitter!

His other idea was to start putting gas stations in fast food drive throughs. It was going to be called, "Gas on the go". Who wouldn't want to have their car filled up while they are waiting for their Big Mac, fries and a Coke? Well, shortly after having this idea, he read about it happening in Asia.

Maybe one day he will get his million dollars.
