Who wants to play? This is from The Big Bang Theory "The Zazzy Substitution".

Described by Amy and Sheldon as "We postulate an alternate world that differs from ours in one key aspect, and then pose questions to each other (it's fun for ages eight to eighty)."

Examples from the episode:

Quote:
Q: In a world where rhinoceroses are domesticated pets, who wins the Second World War?
A: Uganda
Defense: Kenya rises to power on the export of rhinoceroses. A central African power block is formed, colonizing North Africa and Europe. When war breaks out, no one can afford the luxury of a rhino. Kenya withers, Uganda triumphs.

Q: In a world where a piano is a weapon, not a musical instrument, on what does Scott Joplin play the Maple Leaf Rag?
A: Tuned bayonets
Defense: Isn't it obvious?

Q: In a world where mankind is ruled by a giant intelligent beaver, what food is no longer consumed?
A: Cheese danish
Defense: In a world ruled by a giant beaver, mankind builds many dams to please the beaver overlord. The low lying city of Copenhagen is flooded. Thousands die. Devastated, the Danes never invent their namesake pastry.
Who wants to try? In our version, "isn't it obvious" types of defenses are not allowed.
Mine:
If cows died in the American revolution what war would the next call of duty take place in?

If dice were never invented what flag would have one less star?

If cars could talk who would be president of the U.S.A?

No wrong answers just for fun.
 
Q:"If cars could talk who would be president of the U.S.A?"

A:Michael Knight of coarse.

Defense:
As the first person to make contact with the talking cars he soon became the ambassador to the car people. When cars gained the right to vote with the equal rights for cars act of 1999 President knight won the 2000 election with overwhelming numbers. They soon eliminated the term limitation and President knight is now president for life.

In a world with no socks what would be America's favorite candy?
 
strange question, no socks, no wools,, no footwear...what did foot wear come from? cold places...
there fore

not need for fire , then no need for toffee, or chocolate, it would be ice cream,

BUT problem is
no need for fur mammals for farining...and no milk...
so..
favourit candy would be bananas since it tropical, well - grown everywhere in a warm planet (that never had winter nor icecaps)

BANANAS
 
if the sky was green, what would be a precious metal?
 
Answer:Steel

Defense:
With emeralds, most transmission occurs at mid spectrum green wavelengths and other wavelengths are absorbed making it retain color as opposed to say a ruby that under green light appears gray. Most emerald mines are found in Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia where they possesses significant amounts of nickel and gold but significantly much less iron ore. With these countries in control of the gem trade they would become super powers and demand for iron ore to make steel would escalate.

Click to expand...

Sadly, he never would have become a recording star. If grass were poisonous, there'd be no bluegrass music, no rock-a-billy, and no boy named Sue. He'd have stuck to Gospel music and become a minister and later a televangelist.
 
If United States of America lost the revolution, what country would dominate North America?
 
Australia

defense

the french won, so does the wealth generated for the french has surpassed their production capacity of their homeland.
not only canada has become part of the northen america continent it also had became a source of export production.
INTIANALLY, IT'S headquarter have shifted to a small island, secured from vast stretches of land, the french had built its parliament on the island and excerise its control from the it's island based adminsitration
o
it was found weather had proved the headquarters in the pacific to be prone to weather disasters , so it was shifted to Australia, for its vastness and its location away from tropical storm (while upper half is still subject to it)

so , it was thought Australia was a replacement of Europe for its land size, and its stability, with little winter coldness, it was favoured the superpower of France to be located in Australia, england as lost its will to assert the occupation of the southern vast land.
 
now question,
if tWW2 was won by the germans, who would be producing the world's favourite whiskey?
 
The jews.

Forced to live in hiding they sell contraband to pay for the massive underground army they are amassing to someday free the world from the nazi beeotches.
 
If tape had not been invented until 2005 where was the first modern olympics?
