Landmines...there are still around 60 - 80 million landmines planted around the globe. As we enter the peak energy descent, you would think that there will be less and less opportunity for the safe removal of them. Consider that landmines takes around 50 years to become inactive...yet another major problem for those in the developing world.

Evolution would favour those who

(a) progressed slowly poking a stick ahead of them

(b) used stilts

(c) got somebody else to work the fields....

How about scented toilet paper?

I mean, really... does it get more pointless than that?

I'd like to nominate California.
