Congratulations! You have the power to grant Immortality to any one human being other than yourself. The person you choose will never age and will never die.

Who do you give immortality to?

And let me reiterate that you can't choose yourself. :)

Straight on eBay, or any other form of auction.

Sorry. Saw an opening and had to take it. :p

Well I'd get busy producing a child then as soon as they hit maturity I'd make them immortal.

A clone of myself.

Hmm... Who do I hate that much?

I can't think of anyone. It can go on eBay, then, and anyone stupid enough to bid for it can run the risk of getting it.

I'd find the most depressed, suicidal emo kid I could. I'd search high or low for the kid(has to be a teenager) with the 'worst life' and the greatest desire to end it, and I'd make him immortal. :)

Nice dilemma, LG. To be honest, I don't know that I'd give to anyone. Well, not without a lot of thought, anyway. If I could bestow it on myself, sure, but to put someone else through outliving everyone they know? Maybe as a punishment, that might work. There are a lot of people who ought to be made to linger forever, preferably incarcerated, and they should know they're going to live forever, too.

President Bush, just to see the looks on peoples' faces around the world.

That's cruel!

But funny ;)

President Bush, just to see the looks on peoples' faces around the world.

I didn't think you disliked him that much?
But yeah, that'd be funny too.

Oh, and lol @ your sig :D

President Bush, just to see the looks on peoples' faces around the world.

Dear god no... millions of suicides around the world, just to get away...

I'd probably give it to Anna Nicole Smith or Gerald Ford...


oops...Too late ;)

:p

Oh god! *heavy sobbing* Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy you up there god!? Do you see what you've failed to stop!? WAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Whoever it is would probably become famous and influential as a result, so it couldn't be someone with views I find disagreeable.

Castro, just to piss off La Habana Cuba. :)

Nobody.

Either that or David Hasselhoff.

Nobody.

Either that or David Hasselhoff.

Same thing. :p

Chuck Norris

Either to LG - for thinking up such a fiendish question or to Cluich for his suggestion of recipient.

I am not sure who deserves to suffer more.

Chuck Norris

He's already immortal.

Either to LG - for thinking up such a fiendish question or to Cluich for his suggestion of recipient.

I aim to please. :p

I'd give the gift of eternal life to my kitty, so I can have my kitty forever and ever! Screw humanity!

Michael Jackson.

Somebody serving a life sentence in prison.
Yeah, I know I'm evil. :p :D

Well, I won't need it anyways since I'm going robotic to achieve the same end.

I'd probably give it to one of my heroes, maybe Ray Kurzweil, Freeman Dyson, or Marvin Minsky.

EDIT: Pat Robertson.

It's not so much a gift as a curse, really...

No one. I could never be so cruel.

Michael Jackson.

Do you hate us all so much?

Oh snap.George Bush.
:p :p :p :p :p :eek: :eek: :upyours:
Wait for the comments..

one of my kids, probably.

if I had immortality and could also grant it to someone my choice would be different.

Husband?

Husband?

of course, if I could hang out with him for all eternity life would be sweet. :cool:

Surely you're meant to believe that's going to happen anyway? :p

Surely you're meant to believe that's going to happen anyway? :p

I have no clue.....I would like to think so.

Mick Jagger. Then the Rolling Stones really could perform forever!

One question:
You give them eternal life- do you give them eternal youth?
If not, then some guy serving a life sentence.

I have no clue.....I would like to think so.

:)

of course, if I could hang out with him for all eternity life would be sweet. :cool:

You'd outlive your kids though. And their kids ad inifinitum.

Congratulations! You have the power to grant Immortality to any one human being other than yourself. The person you choose will never age and will never die.

Who do you give immortality to?

And let me reiterate that you can't choose yourself. :)

I have no idea.. If I think of one, I'll get back to you.

Nope, still not coming up with anyone I'd want to do this to. Ebay it is, then.

*gets rich*

Why would I want to torture anyone with a curse as horrible as that?

I can't think of anyone I'd want to put up with forever.

So I'll bid for WYTYG's dose of immortality.
Obviously I don't think I'd consider myself cursed!

Easy, Castro.

Wait, he's already practically Immortal.

eBay.

I will make eBay immortal.

Alternatively, the sun, or my laptop.

You. Now you must face the punishment for asking such a foolish question!

I don't think that would be too bad. Outliving my husband is going to suck though. :( One time he was really sick and he almost died, and I couldn't function.......I am pretty much useless without him around.

I'd give immortality to... my worst enemy.

Seriously. Make them slave away forever at some low-paying dead-end job, with no prospects of ever getting out. Suicide isn't even an option; no matter how much damage they did to themselves, they wouldn't die. Ever.

Sounds like Hell to me.

:D

What if they used that to become famous?

What if they used that to become famous?

As long as they were still miserable, it still works. They'd just be famed for their misery. Might even make it worse; they'd have an eternity of hearing people say, "What, he's immortal but miserable? God, what a total loser! Hey, did you hear Michael Jackson is converting to Scientology?" :D

Somebody who would put their extra time to good use; namely, either resurrecting me, or making me immortal.

Nope, still not coming up with anyone I'd want to do this to. Ebay it is, then.

Meh...I'll take it, but i'm not paying.

Well, your hubby's a very fortunate man then to have someone caring for him that much.

Make sure he knows it. :p

Are you really so sure?

With immortality, material concerns become irrelevant. If one cannot die, one would not need to eat, and therefore a job isn't necessary to support oneself. Even if you did need to, you would have an infinite time to gain knowledge, and in our current society, that's going to give you an advantage that at the very least ensures you're not caught in a low paying dead end job. Several years of study whilst working at McDonalds might not sound like much fun, but after that...

Any failures in your life become completely inconsequential. If you get that PhD. and can't find employment...you can get another one. You can take life at a natural, relaxed pace, and truly enjoy yourself for all eternity.

Doesn't sound much like a curse to me.

You. Now you must face the punishment for asking such a foolish question!

Sold to FergiAmerica! Be sure to add $250 for S&H, insurance and bubble wrap. Lots of bubble wrap.

Lorena Bobbit, for being a fine role model to young women everywhere. <Giggle>

Mick Jagger. Then the Rolling Stones really could perform forever!Makes sense, Keith Richards is already a zombie.

Of course! I'll give immortality to a piece of bubblewrap! It will pop forever! Bwahaha!

Actually, it sort of is. For one, you don't know if the immortality thing doesn't mean not being able to feel the pain of being alive but not being able to fulfill basic needs. I imagine your stomach eating your intestines isn't going to be a pleasant way to live forever.

Or how about something simpler? You get mugged, and subsequently shot in the head, splashing your thinking parts all over the wall. But you're not dead. I wouldn't want that kind of existence, no way.

You'd get cleaned up eventually. Besides, all those annoying pain neurons are back in your body.

He's already immortal.

He is just an idiotic person, which view's are an insult to both intelligence and morals.

I'd give it to either Version 2.0 (the child i hope to have with the greatest person ever) when s/he reached maturity or to RMS.

OP

NS(G) FTW.

But first we have to make NS(G) reasonably sentient.

I'd give it to LG. :D

I'd give the gift of eternal life to my kitty, so I can have my kitty forever and ever! Screw humanity!

yeah... agreed.

Ann Coulter, then I'd give her the old Cask of Amontillado treatment.

Easy, Smoove B (http://homepages.theonion.com/PersonalPages/sB/), so that every generation can benefit from his wisdom and, in the case of the ladies, his sweet lovin'.

Adolf Hitler.

Dick Clark. I'm afraid of that American Idol guy taking over on New Years Eve.

You don't really understand the concept behind eBay, do you?

:rolleyes:

One would imagine that immortality renders you impervious to harm. Without a brain, it's impossible to live, so it must be immune to damage.

Or even better, you regenerate. Now that'd be even more awesome. :)

Nope. It just specified immortality. So even if your head were to be blown off, your body would continue to function. Or on the opposite, if you were to be decapitated, you'd still be conscious, but you're kind of missing the rest of yourself. Immortality does not mean invulnerability after all.
