We do. Really. Some big project to soak up all available labor. Think about it.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Forget that. We should build both a vertical and horozontal four lane highway all the way across the world. No real reason, but just because we can. The Antartic might prove somewhat of a difficulty, however...

How about colonization of the Moon and Mars. I said MEGA project, not piddly little tiny project like a tunnel between NA and EU or making a new continent.

Edit: Or uplifting the human race to a type one civilization.

That's a pretty impressive piece of clock, but it isn't big enough to be considered a "mega"-clock.
