...what would you wish for?

1. to be a global dictator
2. to have the world sucumb to my power
3. to live as long as the second-to-last human alive

A genie *can* grant me three wishes.

I wish for me.

I wish for you.

I wish for us.

I'd wish for... uh... everyone have a card embranded on their forehead (ie. ace of spades)... doesn't matter what card... just a card... Like a tatoo...

I'd also wish that everytime I entered a room some random metal song starts playing...

And I'd wish for... um five.... no ten bucks.

an infinite number wishes, duh :headbang:

I'd wish...

1.That my g.f. was here right now
2.That every NS poster had everything needed to make them happy
3.World peace

My wishes are the best. :D

I'd wish...

1.That my g.f. was here right now
2.That every NS poster had everything needed to make them happy
3.World peace

Too bad number two is impossible, seeing as how they often contradict each other.

My wishes:

1. A clear, unbiased, and penetrating mind
2. A will which is capable of overcoming any obstacle.
3. A dream which is worth fighting to make it a reality.

1. A bolt to fall out of the wing of an airplane and hit Dan Rather in the head while on live TV.
2. Death to all but maybe 1 million people on the planet, so it could heal and start over.
3. Old age to get here in a hurry, I'm sick of this place.

i would use my first wish to invalidate every wish ever made before mine

my second wish to eliminate any form of communication (including metaphysical)(yes i am aware this means the end of the universe)

my third wish...

...fuck

1. Do away with money.
2. Do away with uneducated people.
3. Restore the planet's environmental status as it was, let me say, in 6000 BC.

2 bags of Fritos and a Pepsi

First, I'd want lots and lots of money.

Then I'd want uber cool magic powers.

After enjoying life for quite some time, as I'm lying in bed, dying and happy, I'd say "You know what? Fuck it. My last wish is that you do not grant my last wish."

And I'll smile as the world implodes :D

The genie problem has been argued since the beginning of civilization. Realistically, the wish process should go as such:
1) I wish to have all of my dreams granted.
2) Now that all of my wishes have twisted in a way I never expected, I undo my first wish.
3) Genie, I wish you free.
Such is the way of the Genie mythology.

Yeah well, status quo may be good in Greek Mythology, but this AmeriKa damn it, and we don't give a shit if we have a few twists with our wishes!

1. An endless pitcher of apple juice.
2. My personal Moller International M400 Skycar. Seen Here "http://www.moller.com/skycar/"
3. A new computer controlled "smart house" to live in.

1. The power to teleport
2. The U.S. national budget as my personal wealth (5 trillion or so)
3. For a world government that can manage humanity's move into space

My first wish (and I don't care who knows it) would be for Brtiney Spears to show up at my house naked as the day she was born and willing to do whatever I want. (My first order to her would be to get the hell out of the music industry.)

My second wish: To have 6 billion dollars (after taxes) be myseriously, but legally, deposited into my savings account

My third wish: To live to see (and comprehend) the year 2100

Elimination of Capitalism, Elimination of all Religions, George W. Bush to explode and take out every policitian in Washington.

omnipotence

omnipotence is useless with out omniponence

i cant spell

1. World Peace.

2.The power to grant immortality to my dog.

3. SUPREME EXECUTIVE POWER!

omnipotence

I think you have the wrong thread.

Besides, they have pills for that now.

1] Immortality in my current state of physical being.
2] The ability to bestow said immortality on others of my choosing.
3] A box of unlimited pizzas.

That's it.

Forever is a long time, dude.

Didn't you ever read "Dracula"?

Forever is a long time, dude.

Didn't you ever read "Dracula"?

Yeah ... but I have hobbies ... and unlimited pizza.

My three 'altruistic' wishes:

i) The End Of Suffering, in any form, for every independent conciousness in the Universe

ii) That the resources would be there to satisfy every need and want for every independent conciousness in the Universe, and see it that it is distributed without flaw

iii) That the idea of hatred be purged from the Universe for all eternity

JiangGuo

These are my three personal (and very selfish) wishes:

i) I'm provided what whatever I need and/or desire, always, by those around me for no cost/work/effort whatsoever

(This beats having however many trillion dollars!)

ii) Those who I love will be granted eternal life of health, beauty and physical bodily youth

(Some of you wanted eternal life, but without those you love around you, isn't it a somewhat empty existance?)

iii) To have to ability to change form and substance into anything, and be able to control that ability

(So that I can do good in whatever shape I desire, eg. I've always wanted to re-enact scenes from Superheo comics/movies for real)

my third wish...

...fuck
Good wish. I wish I'd thought of that one.

omnipotence is useless with out omniponenceYou mean omniscience? That's no fun at all.

1) Guitar the size of a house
2) Supercomputer
3) Gaspode the Wonder Dog's return :( :( :( :(

id probably wish for...

a car that can transform into watever i want..including a different car it also couldnt crash and ran off polution or air..sumthing free..

the power to do wat i wanted wen i wanted..including the superhuman/impossible..

aaaand thats really about all i need

just thought of another one..

the start of that song eye of the tiger plays from nowhere whenever i step into a room..and the song changes when i decide its getting stupid.....

1. Unlimited wealth - whether this occurs through me suddenly having the ability to suck money from other people's wallets unnoticed, create it from myself, or, my personal favourite, altering my family so that they have 'old money' and a huge business that will never fail, and continues creating record profits throughout my life. I have the whole family planned out too, but it's long and convoluted, so I won't bother typing it all..

2. The ability to absorb any knowledge and fully understand it. A large part of that would be a better memory/concentration, but I'd also probably need some extensive work done on the science/maths parts of my brain (am currently a humanities person :p)

3. Wings. Or the ability to grow wings. Or wings that are only visible when I want them to be. Or an unlimited supply of pills that cause wings to grow.

I want to fly dammit.

I am shocked and amazed at the number of people who want to kill off the human race. Wishing for world peace, come on. The only way that a genie can pull that off is to kill everybody.

Anyhow, my wishes would be the following.

1) Become a soul stealing demon with the powers of fire. That can morph between three forms human, half demon, and full demon. With increased speed, agility and strength that increases exponentially as I transform to be a more full demon. Oh yes, I would also be impervious to any harmful wishes and wishes that will undo my wishes.
2) A nice catgirl mate who is pretty, aggressive, witty, agile, flexible, and of course fun in bed :D
3) Oh yeah, and for me and my mate to go to heaven if and when we die and receive the full privileges as any other being that makes it there. If such a place even exists. If not, a lifetime supply of Dave’s Total Insanity Sauce.

I would love:

1) The ability to perpetually and magically pull out of my wallet, pocket, or purse the exact amount of money I need to buy anything. "How much did you say you wanted for this house? Okay." (pulls out wallet and pays in cash). Obviously, it would not work for anyone but me. ;)

2) Good mental and physical health for everyone! (not immortality -- you live your life in perfect health until the day you die, at the end of your natural lifespan).

3) A personal forcefield that snapped on automatically when someone thought to attack me to steal said wallet or purse. ;)

You mean omniscience? That's no fun at all.
Omniscience is being all knowing, omnipotence is being all powerful, and omninence isn't a word.

an infinite number wishes, duh :headbang:
Yeah, but it's no fun just saying that.

Every American would be willing to love the Constitution

Every American would be willing to live for the Constitution

Every American would be willing to die for the Constitution

Okay.........

1) The power to grant my own wishes.
2) Not being affected by anyone's wishes but my own.
3) For the genie to implode.
Heh heh... I like implosion! :D

1 - A new computer.
2 - Secret power over the world.
3 - To die peacefully of natural causes when my time is up.

1. Peace on Earth
2. Goodwill to all mankind.

That's all: once we've got those we should be able to solve the rest of our problems ourselves without help from the Djinni.

You mean omniscience? That's no fun at all.
Omniscience's neither here nor there.

This reminds me of a couple of jokes:
A couple of guys finds a lamp, rubs and out pops a genie, granting them one wish each:
The first one says "I wanna always be hard and have ass all day long."
So the Genie turns him into a toilet seat.
The second guy says: "I wanna be white, tight and outasight and I wanna be surrounded by pussy."
So the Genie turns him into a tampon.

A young couple are playing a round of golf when one of them slices wildly. The ball goes flying out of the course and into a nearby house. They hear a loud crash and rush over to apologise.
When they get to the house, there's a half-naked man sitting there with a turban on his head, near a broken lamp.
"I am a genie who was imprisioned in this lamp for the past 2 000 years. your golfball released me. For this action, I grant you 3 wishes."
The couple confer and tell him:
"We want 10 million dollars."
Genie: "Done! It is in your bank account"
"We want a beautiful car."
Genie: "Done! There is a Porsche 911 in the car park that is yours."
"We want a beautiful house."
Genie: "Done! the keys to a Hilltop Mansion are in the glovebox of the car."
The couple are overjoyed. All their dreams have come true! They turn to the Genie and say:
"Thank you so much! Is there anything we can do for you?"
Genie: "Well, there is something. I was imprisoned for 2000 years and miss the beauty of a women's caress. Would I be able to spend an hour with your beautiful wife?"
The couple figure that hey? It's a small price to pay. So off the Genie and the wife go to the bedroom.
Two hours later the wife staggers out, followed by a very satisfied Genie.
Genie: "Incidently, how old are you two?"
The man replies: "We're both 24."
Genie:"Amazing! And you still believe in fairy stories!"

Last one:
A man is walking along the beach and comes across a lamp. He polishes it and out pops a Genie.
Genie: "I can give you three wishes. But beware! Whatever you wish for, your worst enemy will get doube. So choose wisely."
The man thinks for a minute and decides his worst enemy is his ex-wife. He tells the Genie:
"I want $50 million dollars"
Genie: "Done, but your ex-wife now has $100 million. Your next wish?"
"I want to be CEO of a Billion-dollar company."
Genie:"Done, but your ex-wife is now CEO of a 2-Billion-dollar company. Your last wish?"
"I want to be beaten half-to-death."

(You can change it to a woman and her ex-husband, with the punch-line being: "I want to have triplets.")

I would ask for the ability to always improve, which means I wouldn't age and wouldn't have to worry about missing the gym ocassionally.
To live thru the last 5000 years of History. With a cool camera so I can take an infinite number of pictures.
The ability to travel to other solar systems.

I'd wish to

- never grow up
- rule the world with an iron fist
- more wishes.

...what would you wish for?


1. A Blue Dodge Viper
2. About 500 arces of land in the moutians with the biggest gold vein in the world running though the land.
3. To have a nice plantation sytle house like they used to have in the Antebellum South.

i'd ask for unlimited wishes.

is that cheating?

have you guys seen the wishmaster series? bad movies but great premises.
for instance one guy asks for a million dollars. the next day his mother gets into a plane crash and she has a 1 mil. life insurance policy. see you dont just get something without compromising something else.

carefull what you wish for.

My first wish (and I don't care who knows it) would be for Brtiney Spears to show up at my house naked as the day she was born

why do you want to see britney as a naked baby.

wait a minute.

you.......sick freak!

j/k

Every American would love the Constitution

Every American would live for the Constitution

Every American would die for the Constitution

You'd wish every American dead??? :( Why do you hate Americans?

Every American would die for the Constitution
You'd wish every American dead??? :( Why do you hate Americans?

Disturbing.

If everybody dies for the constitution, then who is left to die for the Declaration of Independence and its statement of the rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"?

1 - eternal life
2 - to be able to speak, write and read in many languages
3 - I'd use this wish for my friends.

let's see, three wishes to give me anything I wanted.

1. to have a teleportation machine, to make travel to any point in the universe instant, as long as you know where you're going.

2. to have a device that can make an exact duplicate of any non-living thing, so that money would be useless, as we'd have exactly how much of everything we need. basically, you want a $50 steak dinner, poof you have one, and it was entirely free.

3. to own the plans, and materials to make, as well as an already made version of a realistic virtual reality gaming device, so I could play games like everquest in a much more realistic way.

1) Full control over my body's cycles: no sleep, unless I want to, perhaps to dream in full lucidity for a few hours every now and then (but this could be addictive)... command my body to burn x calories whenever I want to using body fat from where I want... eat a single bite of meat and hyperboost my protien replicators to pump up instantly with muscle mass... replicate the effects of any drug or medicine I need, by telling my body to respond as if so medicated... slow my heart rate and breathe once per hour if I ever need to... halt my aging, possibly reverse its effects... etc. etc. etc.

2) A magical trust fund that provides me with all the funds I need by untraceably syphoning off secret mob and black-ops government accounts - as long as there is crime, I will have all the money I need, from the crime lords' pockets. Once I rid the world of all other crimelords ;) I won't need the money.

3) Total and non-madness-imparting understanding of the nature of the Universe and Everything Else That There Is.

Here is a bonus answer, to reveal me of a certain moribund geekhood:

0) an Egg of Dreams - a Dream Lands artifact from Chaosium's Call of C'thulhu gameline. It basically makes whatever you are holding in your dreams, when you awaken, to take on reality for a while. One drawback: it works via your personal space in the dream world, so... if you woke up suddenly due to dreaming that you were being eaten by a ravenous ghoul, it would still be on you in real life when you woke up.

1) To live forever
2) To rule the world
3) Three more wishes.

Hmmm...you know, the magic power thing really does take care of all of it...

1. The power to teleport
2. The U.S. national budget as my personal wealth (5 trillion or so)
3. For a world government that can manage humanity's move into space


Wow, I like those wishes, but don't 2 and 3 contradict? Well, if I had that much money, I would ensure that the move into space happened flawlessly:)

so I wish for...

1. a loyal group of friends and family (family is already good)
2. control over every governing body in the world
3. healthy immortality? ...3 is up for grabs

Intel on the location and situation of three more imprisoned djinn/efreet who will likewise grant wishes upon their release.

Hey thats a good idea! Why dont you just wish for all other genies and similar wish-granting beings to be delivered to you upon your whim!

1. That I could relive my entire life, starting from when I moved to Nebraska.
2. That I didn't have an insanely high metabolism or tapeworm or whatever makes me skinnier than a bulemic.
3. That I didn't have a mild form of autism called aspergers.

Hey thats a good idea! Why dont you just wish for all other genies and similar wish-granting beings to be delivered to you upon your whim!
O.K. now are we assuming that each wish is infinitely powerful? Because that's not far from wishing for infinite wishes. ;)

3. That I didn't have a mild form of autism called aspergers.

You have Asperger's syndrome? I have that, too. :(

Omnipotence
Omniscence
Omnipresence

Bam...

1. A working, bug free, 100% secure version of M$ Windows.
2. A lightsaber
3. A Fully armed and operational Death Star. :D

You'd wish every American dead??? Why do you hate Americans?

Take it as you will. I made it more understandable for you.

Better sex
Sex more often
And sex with more women
