Just looking around me I can see there are damn few things I could recreate. A pane of glass? Nope. A mirror? Nope. I'll bet most of us would be cast back into the 1840's if this scenario happened. A gun? Nope. And probably a not very good bow and arrow. Hell, I doubt many of us could feed ourselves and survive.

I could recreate a lot of stuff right up to a crude phone. Beyond that, I'd be screwed unless there was a radio shack nearby.

Given the tools, as it appears I'd have, I could fashion knives (I've made several already) and could even build a gun - the only problem would be coming up with the gun powder. That is the part that would give me some trouble.
Given the materials and the tools, I am confident I could survive.

I don't think I would have a problem building shelter and putting food on the table. An internal combustion engine and a gun I could do. A television or telephone....I guess I would have to shoot Saul with my gun and force his physicist friend to make them for me.

Hmmm, maybe a steam engine then, and a little book learning whould be all it takes to make some black powder. Okay Okay, I'd just stab Saul then hold the knife to his buddy's throat.

Today in chemistry, I stacked two nails on to one nail. I tipped the flat side of nail 1 on the table. Then with the flat sides pointing up, I carefully overlapped the other two onto the tip of nail 1.
So, that should count for something. |
