 This is a very simple thinking game   All you have to do is read the last persons post and think about the "what if" they have written. You can make brief comments on your thoughts about what they have written, but it is not to become a debate! no matter how tempting! If you need to express, just take it into the "about nothing" thread in general chat.  After giving the "what if" your considerations, it is then your turn to ask the "what if" question for some one else to deliberate. The "what if" questions can be about anything, from ...if we were pets to blue tree bark. They can be as long as you wish.  NICE ONEnn23 This post has been edited by nn23: Mar 30 2007, 09:58 AM |

 No electric power at all, What if we didn't have hampsters to run their wheels to power our generators !! Now that'd be a real power shortage   sorry about that nn23,, we all would be up the creek with no electric we have become to dependent. There would go our game too, lost the comp. with the power !! Seriously, What if you knew tommorrow would be your last day on earth?? Hey there nn23, looks like we're the only ones playing here  We need to drum up a little business here,any ideas ?

If Iknew that tomorrow was my last day on earth I wouldn't change a thing because I live everyday like it was my last day on Earth. Life is too short.

And that would be different how??
Seriously, I suppose I would really find out then how self entertaining I am. I could also do specialized research into the question of whether or not plants that are spoken to really do thrive more than those that are not spoken to. I'd have plenty of subjects & time. I would really have to find as many interesting ways of keeping my mind active & occupied, I wouldn't want to lose what little I have left,but then again, if I were all alone how would I know if I had lost my mind or not??? Gives one pause to reflect, doesn't it?

Well, I would stare at my naked body for about an hour (I am a guy after all)!
 Then I would go back to sleep. I have no idea how to survive as a woman! My wife would be extremely freaked out! Then we would probably get into some sort of catfight, and I don't know how to catfight, so I would lose. Then, for the rest of our lives together I would forever be the weaker of the two. No dice!

If the world forgot me then I suppose I would cess to exist. If no one in the world knows you then to what would you amount, very little I think. What if you could travel thru time, would you go back & why? or would you go forward & why?

Awwwwwww I would remember you Iodine.
I would chose to go back in time to when my grandma was alive, and my great grandma was "healthy". They were the backbone to my family, so when my grandma passed away and my great grandma moved back to Colorado our family fell apart. What if you died and then had a chance to come back, would you, and why? -------------------- |

Depends on when I died, if it we're soon, yes I'd come back---I want to be around long enough to watch my 5 yr. old grandaughter grow up..
 Okay, What if you died and could come back as anything other than yourself, what would it be? -------------------- Tell me and I forget ;Show me and I may remember;involve me and I"ll understand.

We would just be organic robots. Un-Deterable, practically unthinking, and very boring robots. Granted the world would be much more eficient, but we probrably wouldnt care.
What if humans never discovered electricity? -------------------- Website got shutdown = ( ... Ill keep this here anyways =D
