Bring back the Age Of Sail. It's gonna take immense amounts of government funding, it'll cripple global shipping if it's successful, it will definitely cripple national shipping industries and every supply chain coming here all for ~~no benefit at all~~ cool sea shanties, high employment (need about 200 people to off-load one ship and it'll take about a week) and cool ships. I wanna see a 6-masted fullrigger, I wanna see what crazy shit we can come up with.

Either that or a persecution of all farmers that will make Stalin look like a lamb and rehabilitation of the soil, though that isn't a bad idea.

Fund the arts too much. A statue in every home.

Build a mountain. We don't have one, I want one.

Sink Lynetteholmen (an actual megaproject being undertaken right now that is so immensely stupid you would not believe me if I described it). Drown everyone involved in it's construction.

Dig a deep hole. Deeper than the soviet deep hole.

Bio-engineer a Kraken.

Make zebras a horse.

Teach rats how to use guns. Teach seagulls how to use guns. Have them wipe each other out, and then eat fries in peace.

Make guns, but for crabs.

Make France a real place.

Make Britain a fake place.

A chair for your pants.

Make zebras a horse.

As in, "change the definition of zebras so they are coaidered horses" or "begin the domestication of zebras so that they become like todays horses"?

No, some third thing. I'll have our best scientists working on it.

Figured it out. I want to make a horse that zebras can and will ride.
