ok...take one rather mundane item and philosaphise as to what everyday life
would be like without that specific item. Why would it not exist? What
consequences would humanity have to indure if it did not exist?

This would be horrible. I use bananas to make my awful-tasting-but-healthy
breakfast cereal just barely palatable.
Without bananas, I couldn't face that cereal. I would probably eat something
that my doctor would not approve of. Then my blood pressure and cholesterol
would go up, and I would die of a heart attack. This would mean that I
wouldn't be able to finish writing programs that people all over the world
are depending on me to finish. It would cause a worldwide drop in
productivity, followed by a global economic depression, and then possibly
the starvation of millions.
Maybe not, but surely the end of life-as-we-know-it. I could switch to
strawberries, I suppose. Nat as good a source of potassium, though.

A world without Yes, ahhh. (but you know, there would be another programmer
from india to take your place in the world of computing)
No harshness meant!

no harshness taken - I know a bunch of programmers in India, and they're
all OK. As long as I could have strawberries, everything would work out.

Hm... my banana consumption has gone down significantly over break. I don't
know that I'd miss 'em anymore.

without banannas!

If you don't laugh, will the blond be able to breathe underwater?

Possibly, but if you can manage not to laugh at all, that's just as much a
feat as them breathing underwater. :) Either way, someone's impressed.

if their is a law of conservation of joy, does that then mean that for
everyone that is impressed, there is another who is depressed/

Cesar Chavez took one 3OO miles to Sacramento, once. I don't know if he
bought it dinner or not, but he should've.
