the $10,000 question

a friend of mine was talking about an entrance exam she had to take for an internship program she was dying to get into. apparantly they must answer some strange questions with as many answers as their clever little minds can come up with. then the examiners look at all the answers and throw out the most obvious and see what is left. i guess that is how they decide who becomes part of their program, the ones who think outside the box and creatively come up with scenarios that no one else have thought of.

i think that seems like a much better interview process than the normal one we have. i mean, what if, in addition to test scores we were rated on our creativity? i intensely beleive that this is what is missing in today's society. an ability to think on our own. to come up with answers that no one else has ... to imagine that the possibilities are still endless.

some days it feels as if we are brainwashed into doing things a certain way because "that is the way it has always been done". how did we become a country full of lemmings instead of a forward thinking, inventive one?

so until further notice, each week i will come up with a question and ask you to submit 1 or 2 answers (or as many as you can come up with) for the enjoyment of everyone who reads this blog (which seriously might end up being just me - come on, entertain me). i will then post the most creative/intelligent/funny answers the following week preceding the next question. sound fun? i thought so. i think the intent on these questions are to think of the ramifications on the world as a whole (or your community, or house, or country but just bigger than yourself).

and now, without any further ramblings ....

Question 1. What if humans no longer had to eat?

i anxiously await your replies.
