good idea

You wake up with this pressing feeling that you've just come up with the most genius thought. Maybe it's an idea for a screenplay or a song, and the only way to get it out of your head is to get it on paper. Then the next morning you find your masterpiece. And it just says "gorilla napkins." Weird thoughts just make perfect sense when you're asleep.Twitter knows.

It can pay off to trust that spidey sense. Even something as simple as recording a conversation or moving your car can have lasting after-effects.

Sometimes the satisfaction of a heroic act itself is credit enough. Other times a national burger chain steals your idea.
