You know those moments when you are in the shower or laying in bed and you have one of those breakthrough revelations? Most of the time, they are in fact, fairly lame. But occasionally, they are so crazy that they just might work. Check out these 50 people with ideas that might seem a little insane, but who knows, maybe they’re actual on another level of genius.
1) Only a 12
