Points to Ponder Vol. 1Rock The World? Can anyone really �rock the world�? I suppose you could if you killed everyone, but the world is a very big place to rock everyone in, and this is magnified when you think about guys in really remote places like Alaska who don�t get CNN. I think this guy Anthony �The Man� Mundine, is wrong when he says he has world rocking potential. I think the saying is wrong. I haven�t heard of this guy, and I don�t even live in Alaska. The saying should be outlawed. It could be changed to something like �rock a small portion of the world� � makes sense. Dwarf Theory Do many dwarf people marry people of regular size and stature? I haven�t seen any I don�t think, but then again I don�t really see many dwarfs either. Am I meant to call them that? Or are they like Little People or Vertically Challenged now? One wouldn�t want to be politically incorrect. Anyway, back to my point, is there a social stigma towards �regular� people breeding with �irregular� people? And do they make little babies or middle babies or regular babies? Who would know? And on that point, who would really care? Cathay Pacific Who named Cathay Pacific? Is It someone�s last name Cathays cause to me it just sounds like a really snooty person saying Cathy. Maybe it�s a conspiracy about making us feel weak because we�re not snooty. I bet it�s the government trying to shut up the middle class (again) Stupid Sayings Another point on stupid phrases that are so old and crusty and sound ridiculous � that whole �x number of years in the making� is so stupid. Think about it � do you EVER hear anyone say �My shopping took 1 hour in the doing� or �My car took one day in the washing�? Even old people aren�t that stupid. There should be a pre-approved list of suitable sayings that are sent to everyone, and they are allowed to say them. Scrap that, a list you aren�t allowed to say. I would include �X number of years in the making� �Rock the world� and �It�s raining cats and dogs� cause that�s just ridiculous. I hope this doesn�t sound pessimistic because that isn�t my intention � I just really hate stupid phrases. Edible Clothing I wonder what would happen if all our clothes were edible? I mean apart from the problems with little bugs that would live in our clothing and slowly eat their way out. But would there be issues with larger animals, such as dogs? I�m sure having a cat sit on your knee would be an issue � for a start, kneading it with their paws. Besides the animals, could humans handle it? Would there be issues in classrooms, board meetings, at the movies? Might hungry people chew on their neighbour�s sleeve? I suppose if edible clothing was introduced the government would have to put some regulations on it. And have clothing police at every corner, to check that the law would be abided by. Because we couldn�t have people walking down the road eating their friend�s coat now, could we? Some kind of law would have to be made stipulating that people could only eat their own clothing, and they must not be indecently dressed (i.e. not eat TOO much!) That�s my point sort of. Although it does clarify a lot � why edible clothing would be a problem, and probably why it has never been introduced before. But I can see it now: The Noughties, the Age of the Edible Shirt. The sixties and eighties etc got their own clothing styles, what is this decade meant to have? See, edible clothing is the last frontier to be crossed in the fashion world before we all give up and say �sod it� and wear a uniform all the time. It really would be easier. And we could have these little barometer type things that would say �If I picked my own clothes I�d be wearing a ravishing pink dress, that would hug me in all the right places�. So that would eliminate any confusion about our personalities. Points to Ponder Vol. 2To Cut or Not to Cut? What would happen if there was a law for not cutting off your own hair? This law would of course include shaving, waxing, or using creams of any kind. But what would be the point this law, you may ask. Well I don�t really know, but I�m sure the government would think of something it would be useful for. I guess it would keep everyone warmer and hair accessories places are going to be happy! But then again, smell would increase to huge proportions, and the deoderant companies would make a bundle. But think of the protests! There�d be public shaving protests, where smelly yucky old men would shave their beards to prove a point. And think of the celebrities. You wouldn�t be able to tell them apart, (the males anyway) with their eyes poking out of a hairy mess. And the females might have a problem too (if they have facial hair problems). But I guess one of the major problems with this idea is that we would all blend into the apes, chimpanzees, and the like. This is of course after a few generations of hairy people, who have hairy babies. So I guess a law against any hair removal wouldn�t be that practical � and just think of the underground businesses making their fortune through homemade shaving gel/foam, and delipatory creams. I guess though that people could only use the homemade stuff on their bodies � because it were on their head/face it would be obvious to the police/army or whoever was in charge of monitoring the phenomenon. The punishment would have to be very severe, otherwise it would become a law that everyone broke, and held no thought about the consequences (because there were none). But nothing too brutal � or there would be huge revolts and burning of government buildings and assasination attempts on the world leaders. There is an issue that must be considered to do with this, and that is people with illness, such as cancer and the one that makes your hair fall out. These people would probably be ridiculed, called things like �Nigel-No-Hair� and stuff like that. I think I�ve made my decision on my opinion on the matter � while it does have its bonuses (like buying fewer clothes, not being recognised) it has its downfalls too, and these must be acknowledged. Points to Ponder Vol. 3Bus Reform What if, instead for paying for the bus when you got on, you paid for it to get off? It would be a fee you�d pay to get off the bus and leave, go home, or to town, or where ever you actually wanted to go. The problem with this plan is that people would get on the bus with no money, and travel to where they wanted to go, and then not be able to get off and just travel the route like 100 times. And in this case your popularity would work well for you, because the more popular you are, the more likely you are to run into someone that you know, and then get money off them. They would have to have some kind of a system at the door, so people could get in easily, but people couldn�t get out easily (so no one would rush the door or whatever). There would also have to be strong security measures on the windows � or they could simply abolish the windows altogether. And security guards at the door too. The bus driver would also have to be highly trained in martial arts so no one could take over the bus (just think if they did � then they could drive it into a power pole. The chances of sudden death are possible, but there�s also the possibility that they will somehow crack the mechanism of the security measures, and escape). It certainly would be a funny sight to see bus loads of prisioners driving past, banging on the windows, screaming for mercy, and escape. It would suck for them quite frankly. Maybe it could be a form of torture � if you were in trouble with the police, they would stick you on a bus and not give you any money. Then you�d just drive around and around until the end of time. You�d get motion sickness for sure on distances that large. Brain Swap What if there was a service that rented out a flies brain for a day? You could get a brain swap, and be a fly, just for a day, to see what it was like. If brain-swapping became a viable option for the doctors of the future, then brain swapping with a fly would be high demand I would think. Although everyone would have to sign a clause � because lots of people would go spy on celebrities and people they thought were cute, getting changed and having showers and stuff. It could be potentially dangerous for high-profile types. And you could kill someone fairly easily � �accidentally� tipping poison into the soup, or even flying into their ear and eating their brain. That would actually be pretty gross. So maybe brain-swapping with a fly could only be an option if they put you on a leash, or you had a tag around your leg, or something. I suppose most people wouldn�t be stupid because you would be leaving your body with some doctor somewhere � and if you were stupid, they wouldn�t let you back in � just shut you in a room with some Raid. But would Raid even work? Because your brain would be different. Or does Raid have a reaction with the body only? Hopefully it does. |
