I'd make pi exactly 3, it would just be much simpler that way :pac:

I'd lower the speed limit from warp 9.9 to around ward 7. Too many inter stellar accidents out there.

I would have to change two unwritten but wholly related laws, namely the ones that state:

"Women cannot detach emotion from sex"

and

"women will not ride anything that moves"

That would keep me busy for a while :cool:

I'd change the laws that insist all good things contain the most calories, and that eating fatty foods makes you fat.

The law of supply and demand - I'd tweak it so there would be a constant supply whenever I demanded anything.

Also, holding speed constant, a 270 degree turn takes the same amount of time and energy as a 90 degree turn.

Problem solved.
