What If?

A creative prof in our not-so-creative course said that "What-If" analysis could turn out to be really interesting... Let me try out a few

1. What If "Giant Wheel" is not circular, instead elliptical?
   
2. What If kids don't learn anything new?
   
3. What If women stop shopping?
4. What If your dog doesn't bark at all?
5. What If Indian politicians speak less?
6. What If you feel sleepy during the class?
7. What If Prof feels sleepy during his class?
8. What If life expectancy becomes 400 years?
9. What If our masculine ant proposes to the beautiful elephant?
10. What If there are no computers and internet?
    

And here is one possible set of answers:

1. Law of fairness would be violated
   
2. Would turn out to be adults of today (majority!)
   
3. Men in peace. GDP(new) = 0.526*GDP(old)
   
4. You are feeding it too much. Reduce
   
5. People would do useful work.
6. Sleep!
7. Then also, you can sleep! Alternatively, you can empathize and ask him to sleep.
   
8. Our man can have a family binary tree of 20 generations with 1048575 people (2097150 ppl, if we include spouses as well) -Difficult to remember so many names! hmm.. what if everybody decides to have 8 children, the likes of earlier generations - our man would have 2305843009213693950 ppl in his family tree, before he dies (His family is ~350million times the world population estimated in July 2007!)
9. Queen Elephant IV can say "If you can take me on your back. I will"
10. I would be peacefully sleeping and you would be doing something more useful.
