What would you do?

    Say you had a box 78 ft long, 36 ft wide... What would you do with that box?

    Something new? Something different? Would you make history if the whole world was watching?

    If you remember, this was the IBM ad from a number of years ago

    I saw it a number of days ago and it got me wondering what I would do. I'd probably put some barriers around it, declare it a new country and legalise gambling.... but then that's just me.

    What would you do? :p

    Put the recession in it.

    Or FF. Don't know if their collective heads would fit in such a small box. Hmmm.

    Well I'm not a woman, but if I was in that situation, I'd become a nun.

    I'd fill it with smarties

    That's not a box; it's a rectangle.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,678 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train

    I assume it would be a cuboid.

    It would need a third dimension. e.g. 78 * 36 * 1927363457 (all dims in feet)

    Now that's a box!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    Keep my dog in it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 870 ✭✭✭Pen1987


    Put it on a greenspace in Dalkey, call it a peice of modern art, then when the time was just right, declare squatters rights on the land it was on and sell it to the highest bidder. Then move the box to Foxrock and repeat, and then to another over-priced-land-in-demand area and repeat continously until I was BILLIONAIRE, BILLIONAIRE I SAY!

    Cuboid means shaped like a cube, which is a three-dimensional object.

    That's why I said I assume. He only gives the 2 dimensions but I assume it has a third dimension that he isn't telling us about. Last time I checked 2 dimensional objects couldn't exist in a 3 dimensional universe (I'm not a physicist so I may* be wrong).




    *Read as probably. :D

    Everything except "An dtuigeann tú"

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Nope... it's a rectangle... not much use for keeping the wind out.

    Forget tennis though... how about women's beach volleyball instead...?

    Channel 4 just called and they said they're prepared to offer you £1,000,000 for the rights to either idea for a new celebrity reality tv show.

    I'd put Mary Harney on a diet and after 12 weeks see if she'd fit in it.

    I'd take a sh!t in the middle of it and run around naked chanting stuff, as if it were something worth worshiping... a ritual perhaps.
