People will only use toast racks while camping or when electric toasters aren't available, unless something happens to make the world's toasters stop working. I'm not sure if the laser knifes in Hitchhiker's would be a good idea. Can see people accidentally burning themselves with them.

The toast racks that I was referring to hold the toast after you make it. Sorry I should have been more specific. I know there are devices to make toast in a fire place or camp fire.

Oh yeah, forgot about those. I don't think we used those as a kid. I think that whether you use one or not depends on what you're used to.

The whole point of having toast is for the crunch. If you put a warm piece of toast onto a plate it steams itself and goes limp hence the need for the toast rack. They look like the old record racks just with bigger slots. You can see them some times on British shows.

I found pictures of them online. Using them does make sense if the toast has to wait on people. Hubby and I just toast bread and then eat it up.

I don't know. There should be a way to suggest new flavors to the manufacturer. Some cream cheese and maple flavoring on a plain pop tart might be good.

One of the 2011 / 2012 predictions is that the aliens that were here before come back.

In the year 3,000 bus routes will be lied out according to people living their lives in stead of being slavery based as they are now. The buses will go to parks and will allow people to see movies in the evenings. Currently they mostly take under paid slaves to work and back mostly. They are highly subsidized by the government yet they are doing this. Now what does that tell you?

Something is rotten, and it's not in Denmark. Public busing is not the only place in which things are totally off. Some veterans who live in the area around Eugene Oregon have to be bused to Roseburg Oregon if they have any serious health issues. There is a VA clinic in Eugene, but it can only handle certain things. Volunteers drive these veterans 71 miles one way in a 12 person van. Of course they bring them back as well which adds up to 142 miles. Don't know if things are like this in the rest of the U.S. I hope not, also hope that it won't take till the year 3,000 to get all this straightened out.
