Right, to save bothering worrying about a route, there's one road thats goes (one way) past every location in the UK. You also get less accidents because every diver is predictable.
OK, it's a stupid idea, you could end up driving for weeks around the whole country just to get to the street next to
you.
I've giving this idea a fishbone myself...

It's not exactly a road, but the concept is similar [kinemojo, Mar 15 2006]

If its a stupid idea then why post it? The only reason i can see for posting it is someform of rant, maybe. |
|
| |
Why post it? Well, it was a half baked idea I had years ago, qhich solved one particular problem I encountered in one situation. Although it's the most pointlessly awful idea ever, I thought I'd share it with people.
Is this site only for good ideas then? |
|
| |
yes, but some days it's difficult to prove. |
|
| |
[percy], if you think the idea unworthy, please just mark it for deletion, or better, delete it yourself. Sure, there's bad ideas on the site but most are at least enthusiastically bad. |
|
| |
Or be more enthusiastic, which could be entertaining. I was expecting How Long is the Coast of Britain?, myself. (See link.) |
|
| |
I'm like two years late, but you made me laugh out loud for the first time in a long time so i'll vote for it.. |
|
| |
this was in a south park episode about canada, but Percy's halfbakery idea came first. |
|
| |
It was a spoof of wizard of oz, instead of saying "follow the yellow brick road" all the canadians sand "follow the only road" |
|
| |
Great idea, terribly under-promoted by it's inventor. |

"Halfbakery: it's not just a good idea, it's also some bad ones."
This would also trivialise the travelling salesman problem. |
