assuming i cant wish for infinate wishes...

1. the ability to become pure energy at any point in time i see fit, with the ability to contain my own energy and form (ie, i would not just dessipate), as well as the ability to deny extra energy form entering me, as well as maintaining my consiousness while doing so.

2. the ability to accelerate to any speed i wish, instantenously.

3. one of those kicking muslism martyr parties before i go off and have fun as NRGMAN!

Whoops, time to get a tissue and wipe the spooge from the keyboard.


Anyway ... some wise-ass is bound to say "I would wish for infinite wishes".

I would have ... Peace on Earth, End to Disease and End to Hunger



No, what I'd actually pick is Immortality, Billions and Billions of Dollars and to be some kind of all powerful wizard. That'd be nice.

Time travel would be kewl

Then with all my Lotto winnings I would be able to buy happiness and rent the 'semplence of love, and I would just buy a flame thrower if I ever got any enemies.

I would then waste my wishes on stupid stuff like world peace (nobel prize to me), scientific advances (of which I would hold the patents), or for the reserection of the Cavandish... BANANA!

Mods can edit just about anything within a poll... however, the one thing we can't do is change it from multi to single, or from single to multi... I don't know why... but we can't.

So you are either stuck with this... or you can start a new thread with multi selected, and then I can delete this one... Best I can offer.

Would you really want that? You'd be still going along just fine, while your family, your friends, the entire generation and mindset you lived in, died away...by 150 years you'd be a stranger in your own hometown. I can't think of many people who could take that.

1. A good wife.

2. Land, preferably out in the country so I could build a nice house, and not have to worry about city living.

3. Health to travel and enjoy the things above.

If I can't have 1, due to that condition, "I can't make people fall in love,"

than I'll settle for that replenishing bank account so that I can do what I want without having to worry about recompense.

1) Immortality, without aging, and the condition to end it if I feel I want to die.

2) Telepathy. Mind control isn't necessary if you can identify a person's desires and motivations.

3) I was gonna pick 'peace on Earth', but I recognize that this may well have many unforeseen ramifications, so I choose an end to unnecessary suffering, that is, pain that serves no purpose. If a pain can be instructive ("Oops, gotta take my hand off the stove"), it stays; if it isn't ("Oops, my legs got torn off by the thresher and I'm bleeding to death.... gee, this hurts") let them go in peace. This applies to all living things, human, non-human animal, vegetable (if they feel 'pain'), at all stages of development (from fetus to old age).
