You know how sometimes there are blank buttons in cars? They are just placeholders where functional buttons would have been, except that the model you bought did not come with all the possible options.
Sometimes I wish those buttons were like the “blank tiles” in Scrabble and could act as any button you want.
Yes, but then people would become omnipotent and the stability of the universe would wane.
@ Jordo
Is the universe really all that stable anyway?
I’d like to ask though, in Scrabble aren’t you pretty much limited in using the blank tile to using it as one of the other letters? If so, wouldn’t the car equivalent require that the blank button simply do the same function as one of the other buttons in the car?
I would want the blank buttons to do cool things that cars do in the movies. This would include pretty much every upgrade James Bond had done to his car…ever, shields like the Batmobile in the original movies with Michael Keaton, some transformer options from Transformers. This is by no means a complete list, but rather just a starting point. How many blank buttons do we get? Can each button have multiple uses?
From my youth (read: playing Spy Hunter), I would like to have a button for ‘oil slick’ and ‘smoke screen’. Not sure who I might need to lose or outrun when driving my minivan, but should such a situation arise, it would be helpful to have those capabilities.
@ Conall + Jordo:
Do you think we can get Stephen Hawking to drop us a comment here to discuss the stability of the universe?
no
@ Steven Hawking,
Come on now! You went to the trouble of visiting chickenmonkeydog.com, the least you can do is leave a more in depth comment!
