Ski-lifts. Everywhere.

The place you need to visit comes to you, instead of you going to it. Everything will be like a stage set on little casters... ..and, and a jet engine.

the Scram-Jet, once adapted for civilian transporation, will carry Brits to Australia and vice versa in around 2 hours. You'll spend more time in the airport!

A good portion of people will vote for Star Trek, no matter WHAT the question is, if there is a Star Trek option...

In the future instead of roads and motorways they should just have ravelators everywhere.

Is the invention of Mr. Fusion far off? It really should be pursued.

Travel tubes. These would be around a metre wide and would suck you

Yeah, sounds about right.

How can anyone vote against robotic trousers?

Would they suck you?

I assumed that was the point! Stay at home robot blowjob ==> no need to leave the house, demands for telecommuting options skyrocket ==> farewell, gridlock!

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Travel tubes would rule.
