I wish they'd put some movies on this thing or something. It wouldn't have been hard. I'm pretty sure movies are in my list of top ten modern world things. Chocolate and hot running water are on the list too. Concidentally neither of those things are around here either. Maybe it's not a place for modern technology after all??

[That's a joke, yeah.]

Also on my wishlist: they could put a chess game on here or something. We could be playing Mahjong. That would be so easy. I guess we're meant to be here driving each other crazy instead.

Anyway top ten five modern inventions:

1. movies
2. medicinal things I guess
3. chocolate. I don't know if it's modern but I never had it at home.
4. Hot running water.
5. Newspapers.

We could only hope.

[payback]

We're in space, they must. [/OPTIMISTIC]

[amarant]

Not if the place we go lacks the ability to make better boats.

[payback]

Well OK but we could teach them or something

[amarant]

Maybe we could.

[payback]

That would be a good idea if they lived on the water but didn't know how. Actually if they really lived on the water they should know how in the first place, right?

[amarant]

Sometimes people are poor at improving in ways that should be obvious.

It would help if they knew already.

[payback]

OK but I am going to theorize if people live in the water for a long time, they must know how to do things having to do with water, at least some things, so they would know a little about building boats already.

[amarant]

Yes, that would be the most likely result.

[payback]

So we could go on those boats and it would be ok.

[amarant]

I'd still rather not.

[payback]

OK well, I wouldn't force you.

[amarant]

I do appreciate it.

If it happens, I hope you'd have a nice time, though.

[payback]

Me too... it might be a while before that happens anyway though...

[amarant]

In the meantime, we'll just have to find other things to do.

[payback]

Like learning how to swim in case of boat emergencies.

Except our ships would need a swimming pool for that.

[amarant]

Maybe you could learn about new card games.

[payback]

I guess I know how to swim already. Learning again would be redundant.

[amarant]

There's always room for improvement, right?

[payback]

It's true that practicing more wouldn't be bad, but that's impossible now.

Do you know how to swim?

[amarant]

I never learned.

[payback]

It's fun when you know what you're doing and it's not dangerous. If we get the opportunity, you should try.

[amarant]

There's always the danger of drowning.

[payback]

Of course, but you can minimize that, you should try anyway...

[amarant]

Maybe someday.
