Okay, who has the coconut-generator that's hooked up to the wooden bicycle? We need to go over to that island ;D Although, it's funny, in this deserted island there already is a tv and a vcr. It reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where these astronauts land on a foreign planet inhabited by other humans and, in the end, the surviving astronaut ends up in a house-cage at a zoo! Not that I'm a hardcore Luddite, but I'd say, "Watch out for 'modern conveniences' ;D "
Subject: Re: Desert Island

rat race
national lampoon's vacation
the shining (the 80's version with jack nicholson)
cds:

pepsi
a notebook and pen (that counts as one item, right? :) )
