Dear Naked Science Forum

As your such a talented and diverse bunch i wanted to try a little experiment coming up with the plans for an imaginary machine.

Here's how its going to work:

for example

I will say the machine will be 17 miles wide

and then somebody will possibly reply by saying the machine will be made of gold

and then somebody else will reply and so on and so forth

its a bit like a game of word association

So anybody who wants to take part just reply to this massage

don't hold back on imaginative ideas, it can be scientific or just the first thing that comes into your head

Many thanks in advance hopefully there will be some interesting results

I will Start:

The Machine will be 17 miles wide

The microwave ovens will play the first couple of bars of Beethoven's ode to joy rather than going "ping!" when they have finished cooking stuff.

There will be a small sticker on it saying "Intel inside"- though this may not actually be true.

It will contain a substance known to the state of California to cause cancer.

Fred would like it to have a big gun that is on fire and a seat permanently reserved for Stalin(his hero.)
I would like all the food blenders on board to have no lids. I would also like the captain to be extremely handsome, so much so that women faint when they see him. The machine should also wear a skirt.

Your Latin is correct ...

So we need air fresheners, a machine to convert the "effluvium" back into food, and - oh... FEATHERS!! Yes. Feathers - for to tickle the back of one's throat. (The wording is intentionally archaic in nature.)

Why does the machine have to be gay? Is this part of the world view that says everything must be included? If so then -

It should have only one leg.

The one leg is very hairy and has those sock suspenders on it (and socks of course.) I'd like John cleeses leg if possible.

Quite possibly, and indeed, I also spend a lot of time sitting down, but nevertheless, I still rely upon both legs to get me between the different places where I sit and I have no reason to suspect that Mr. Cleese does otherwise.

Hmm...   Mr. Cleese, are you lurking out there, and could you give us a definitive answer?

Well, in that case, the sock suspenders aren't a problem, and of course, neither are the socks, but how hairy are your unused legs?  Perhaps you might want to donate one of them to fulfill your own design goal?
