It is somewhat interesting to note that the Inspirigun™ was what eventually led to many philosophers losing their jobs, and ending up on the streets comparing beard sizes in utter boredom. Some estimate that the sheer amount of inspiration caused by the Inspirigun™, Inspiricannon™, and later, the Inspiribomb™, caused the Great Idea Famine of 2038. Humanity had managed to use up an entire two centuries' worth of ideas in a mere few decades. Eventually someone got around to having an idea the proper way - by taking a long bath.
