    1. I'd wish that I always had the exact amount of money in my wallet for what I wanted to buy
    2. To have a 36-24-36 figure for the rest of my life, never succumbing to wrinkles or any of that
    3. Never to get any of those horrible things old people get like alzheimers, parkinsons' etc...

    yes but you cant make someone else do it( free will etc)

    1. Immortality, with the condition that I can end myself at will.
    2. An infinite supply of money.
    3. The ability to shapeshift into anyone or anything.

    Yes. That would be fun.

    if i was being selfish...
    1.ability to turn invisible.
    2.ability to render people incontinent at will.
    3.infinate cash.


  • Administrators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 18,774 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭hullaballoo


    I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't go for the infinite supply of money thing, so it really only comes down to what else you'd go for.

    I'd like it if I could control time and space. I suppose that's two wishes.

    Oh wait, if I control time and space, I don't really need the money one anymore so I'd wish for the ability to communicate with animals.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭boneless


    A bottle of everlasting (or an everlasting bottle!!) of whisky (Scottish malt!!)

    Erm.... two more bottles of above....

    That is the first post in about 6 months that actually made me laugh out loud.


    My own choices:

    1. A credit card with no limit that I'd never have to pay back.
    2. Instant Karma to be a reality (we'd have world peace and an end to poverty pretty fast)
    3. The ability to bestow the gift of immortality on anyone I wished (myself included).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 951 ✭✭✭Eminem


    1 . World Peace
    2 Meet eminem
    3 Sop hunger all over the world

    1. Omnipotence

    2. Since I can't affect free will and I doubt that a genie could be bribed I'd make the genie think that three is somewhere near infinity + 1

    n.

    n+1.

    ..

    3. save in case I need it to get around the omnipotence paradox.
