Just having one type of food, let's call it Food with capital F, is preferable to having many types. If we combine it with Drink, then it is even better. All food and drink processing tools can become Food and Drink processing tools, which makes them simpler to build, as there are only two substances with known properties to handle. Since Food and Drink are healthy, balanced in nutritients, and so on, this is the ideal solution to those foolish people who simply can't understand what's best for them. (But we know better, right?)
We can do the same thing with Nuts and Bolts, as well as Nails. If there's only one type of Bolt, many problems disappear. If we further specify that a Bolt is always torqued to a given number of Newton-meters (ft*lbs), it is even better. Things that can't be built with such Bolts aren't worth building anyway. (If you don't understand this, please see the "Satire Specification", volume 88, chapter 44, section 22.11.1, subsection C. It's the one titled "Heavy Handed". Pay attention to the fourth point in the list, titled "Hamhanded".) /LS > From: Niclas Hedhman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
