Two in a row have said "This is wrong". While I can understand biewing it as morally bankrupt, or even unconscionable, I wouldn't call it "wrong". It is perfectly doable within the rules. :P

being dead is no excuse to skip workThere is, of course, a severe retirement benefit penalty imposed on those workers who do not have the common courtesy and decency to fall down if they die on the job. Those who remain standing at their post can really mess up production quotas.

84. Reverse gravity to retrieve items that have fallen down a well.

I was going to suggest it as a lifeguard's best friend when rescuing people drowning in heavy armor, but I've still got to figure out what effect that's going to have on water in the area, especially with other water rushing in to fill the vaccuum left behind as it's drawn up by the reversed gravity.

Then again, that suggests #85:

85. Reverse gravity for a temporary fountain display.
