Get Him A Nobel. I Mean It

Necessity is the mother of invention, and it occurred to one man, a nursing home director, that it's necessary to invent an emergency toilet overflow shutoff valve after a resident slipped and fell from water on the floor from an overflowing toilet and broke his hip, dying from it three months later. The result is a gadget that costs $89 and turns off the water at the fill valve when it senses that the water is rising above a cutoff level. Clever. (Orange County Register)
