I hope you haven't fallen for this age-old trick and actually clicked on the link.
However, if you have, welcome. This is where ideas, plans, and dreams are built.

I have to find those chips and that soda! But not at the same time, because maple doesn't mix with marinara.

If you could go back in time just to see a certain period of time without being able to interact with anything, where and during what time period would you go?


I kind of want to see what life was like during the American Revolution. Maybe I'd get to see George Washington without his wig...

If somehow civilization gets almost completely wiped out and everything is lost except for one short message that you write, what would that message say?


Something simple like "Make love, not war" or something along those lines...

Though Ernie is right, if anyone is going to be around to read the message, they probably wouldn't be from this planet! It would be better to draw some sort of picture, like a map of the earth or something, so any extraterrestrial explorer could eventually decipher it.

If the reader is an extraterrestrial explorer, he/she/it will have no trouble navigating around the earth via sky without a poorly-drawn map.

If you could create a commercial for any product, what product would it be and what would the commercial be like?

Ahh, true, true. I was thinking more along the lines of their spacecraft crashing into the earth, but if they're on foot (assuming they have feet) a tiny map of a giant world would probably be futile.

What I also didn't think of was that they wouldn't necessarily perceive it as a map! Chances are, they wouldn't know what to think of it!

Sorry... that one requires too much open-ended creativity for my mind...

Well at a reception there are ear plugs so there is music and you can make the ear plugs tighter or softer but the tighter the less noise you hear the softer the more you let in...

Every one is rich so you can practically get anything ok wait well so everyone on planet earth gets 1 million dollars... Forget about everyone is rich

No bad people there are like camaras on or in people so if someone does something had... Somebody knows

But then a million dollars would be useless! If everyone had it, it would be the same as no one having it!

Would you really sacrifice your privacy just to make crime go away?

Ah, good point.

No, I wouldn't do it at all.

Isn't that... basically the same thing?

But then a million dollars would be useless! If everyone had it, it would be the same as no one having it!


^That right there.

Haven't you noticed a pattern in all the movies that do that? The people behind the cameras are always the antagonists, and the "security" system always gets destroyed in the end by the good guys.

There's a reason it's like that every single time. Nobody would want to live in a world like that.

Well, maybe the Nazi party. They're into that sort of thing.

Read my post on page 35 about the city made of candy.

Maybe the world would be a better place. For one we would no longer have alcoholics, so abused children as a result of alcohol would not exist nor would marriages broken by alcohol addictions.
Those are some of my thoughts but someone will surely come along and poke holes in my reasoning. I happily await their arrival.

The Irish would rule the world!

But keep in mind of course that not all alcohol is used for drinking. Without alcohol, you wouldn't have antifreeze, rubbing alcohol, formaldehyde, or hand sanitizer!

I'm going to assume that you meant drinking alcohol, however, since alcohol itself has so many practical uses that are irrelevant to alcoholic beverages and often to each other.

I imagine there would be a lot less violence in the world, and you wouldn't have to worry about drunk drivers. On the other hand, frat parties would also be pretty quiet! =P

My brother wouldn't be a rubbish collector. Also, you'd have nothing to eat pizza with.

Well, for one, the population would be much lower. Which would mean that we'd have more natural resources available and little to no population crises.

They'd find something else to make them crazy, like energy drinks. I can't say I'd want to be within a 2-mile radius of that party.

If you could be any political leader in history, which one would you choose to be?

You're right, it would be louder. =P

Ah, that's easy! My favorite U.S. president and one of my biggest role models, Teddy Roosevelt! Being the president never restricted him from living the adventurous and active life he wanted to live! I always wish I were more like him. =D

Winston Churchill. I love that fellow.
