We'd have all quantum computers, advanced space travel, antigravity, and technologies we can't even fathom at the present time. But there would be no such thing as the telephone. And forget about trying to find a nightclub.

This thread reminds me of the planet in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is populated by creatures with 100 arms. They are the only known civilization to create aerosol deodorant before the wheel. :lol:

I'm starting to really think this is a good idea. I just need a break from well... life.

Anyone want to team up with me and make an autistic person's resort? No NT's allowed.

The idea of going away for a week and well.. roleplaying is actually starting o appeal to me.. I am shocked and apalled at myself.

It really is a good idea, if only one of us was rich :? Maybe buy an island really, really far away from everything *sigh* If I had the $$ I'd do it :?

It's called the Pennsic Wars. 2 weeks out in the middle of nowhereland Pennsylvania with 10,000 other history-roleplaying-obsessed people living in tents who don't care if you socialize - or not, beat each other up with fake weapons - or not, eat fabulous amounts of food and beverages - or not, as long as you are dressed for the duration in accurate period clothing from some pre-1600's culture of your choice - from BC Roman soldier, to woad painted ancient Briton, to Japanese Samurai, to Middle Eastern dancing girl, to Elizabethan peasant or nobility, and more.

A wonderful place to "get lost" for 2 whole weeks. Everyone there is weird, therefore nobody there is weird! :D

<sigh> Someday I'll get there, when my little ones are older. Until then, I live it vicariously through my 22yo daughter who DOES go, and satisfy myself with one-day or weekend events.

What about Ireland? That's pretty. (We'd have to find a use for all those rocks though.)

We could make France into an island! Beautiful country there as I'm told.

(I want to stay away from the equator.)

Minor problem. We need to move it a tiny bit further south (it still gets too much of the British Rain) and the other is that theres all these things there.......... They are called French people...... I think they might object........
