A good game to play when bored.

Well i now have a new game to play when i'm bored. You can play it too. All you need is a bit of imagination, and a taste for mind games. This game was inspired by Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. All you need to do is take a an object or idea (such as a universe, guitar, cd case, car, language etc...) and think of all the different ways of looking at it. For example, a plate of nachos could be seen by some people as each of it seperate components. Other people will look at it and see calories, trans fats, saturated fats, cholesterol. Some people will seperate the plate into "yum" and "ick". Some people will seperate it into the four food groups. Some people will seperate it into "natural" and unnatural ingredients. Some people will prefer to look at the nachos as a whole. Some people will look at it and think of how many people could be fed with that food. Some will look at the seperate ingredients and seperate it into whether or not you can grow it in your garden. Some people will try and see seperate molecules. etc...
Good Luck

You have a copy of that already? Damn Louis, you're taking away my reason to hurry. I needed that motivation.

Race you to finish it?

a clever recycle of the old "thinking outside of the box concept"?
