If I were the all-powerful Monarch of Earth… 1. All graphic and comic book pages would be clearly numbered 2. Heavy metal ballads would be illegal 3. After offsetting penalties in football, no do-over! Let the play stand. 4. Research into global alternative energy sources would be top priority. 5. You’d be hearing a lot more bagpipe music, I can tell you that 6. Infield Fly Rule would be “foul and in play”, not “automatic out” 7. DVD and Blu-Ray movie lengths would be shown in hours AND minutes, not just minutes 8. Clothing designers and manufacturers would have to wear underwear made of labels patched together with nylon thread. 9. All clothing, for men, women, and children, must be sized consistently and simply, based on the item’s actual size. Also, women’s jackets and pants must have functional pockets. 10. All airlines must comply with generous minimum elbow and legroom guidelines. 11. All “stupid” warning labels (e.g. packages of nuts that read “warning, this product may contain nuts”) would disappear 12. The same restrictions that apply to smoking would apply to any hand held device. 13. We’d go back to the previous SDMB formatting toot suite. Pass. ---
