how to raise money for an expensive surgery

why not broadcast it online? viewers can pay a small fee and hospital and medical equipment suppliers will pay larger fees to advertise directly. if you don't have insurance and can't afford to pay for the surgery, there's nothing wrong letting the public watch. some viewers will be medical students and learn not to repeat mistakes when something goes wrong and you die. at least you won't die in vain or leave your family in debt.

For UK police dial 007 or 1-800-Superman (USA)

For psychological reasons why not change the universal emergency telephone number in every country to something more inspiring and reassuring taken from pop culture?

For the UK the number can be 007 and for the US something like 1-800-Superman. Imagine you are in an emergency in the UK and your friend asked you to call 007 for help! Wouldn't you pick up the phone right away to talk to 007? :) Give your suggestion for a 'cool' emergency phone number in your country :D

burning smell in fire drills

most people walk slow, slouch, take time to talk and finish what they are doing before they decide to make their way to the exit. this doesn't really make anyone ready to respond well to a real-fire situation. the experts can not see what problems will be created in a real-life emergency evacuation. people need to be concerned and hurry in order to test the building. an attack on the senses would help do the trick by letting the fire alarms release a pungent smell of something burning. smoke-simulator machines and bright red and yellow lights can also be used to alert everyone that the drill must be taken seriously.
