Then we would have never had Romans, roads and the other great things that came from the Romans.

Such as plumbing, saunas and swimmings pool wouldn't be the same.

What if our eyes didn't have the ability to see things right side up?

What if gravity was halved, or maybe doubled?

What if people didn't do stupid things in front of others (mostly in public places) just to impress people and show off?

What if the keys on my keyboard suddenly scrambled into different spots so I wouldn't know exactly where they were?

What if I ruled the world with an iron grip?

What if there isn't a spoon?

What if you found out that this world, as you know it, is artificial, as in the Truman show, and that this post was posted to test your reaction?

What if, suddenly, completely new colors were discovered?

What if all genres of music made a rapid progression, no matter how bubblegummy or gangsta they were, to classical orchestra stylings?

What if our bodies suddenly started naturally manufacturing string cheese that would be dispersed from our right nostrils?

What if everyone, no matter what gender, were born with random bits?

i can see one now.
and as the universe is dictated by my perception (IE: if i truly cant accept somthings existance, it doesnt exist) that means;
A: there is a spoon.
and
B: i am the centre of the universe afterall.

But, my dear, I have one right here. So, of course, the spoon is in fact here, and if it wasn't, I would be quite startled as that may change the dynamics of our existance. A very frightening idea indeed.

Also, if there was no spoon, then their would be no Spork, and then what would I use to gouge(sp?) people's eyes out...
