what would you wish for? and you can't ask for more wishes!


i'd..

1) give my mother one wish (and hopefully she'd wish for a bazillion dollars and give me some)
2) make my sister better
3) go back to my first year of university and start things over



oh, and world peace and all that.

[Will Carper]

1. A wallet that would give me whatever amount of money I needed (or a check!) so I could buy whatever I wanted.
2. The ability to teleport, in a Void from WildCATs way.
3. A Dire Wolf.

It must be noted:

Steve Martin: If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be that all the children to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account. You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe. And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it. Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish, because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know? No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice. But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! So -- we reorganize! Here we go. First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids. Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas.

Personally,

1. A fully functioning, infinitely charged, Rayner-era Green Lantern ring.
2. A cheaply and easily produced cure for all current and future diseases.
3. Designs for a safe and affordable device no larger than a mini-fridge that can reduce to even negate the effects of gravity across a spherical diameter of at least ten meters, using no more energy per second than a cellphone in operation.

"Dial H for Lucian"

I already have the power of getting really really angry, but I wouldn't mind some invisibility, super strength or flying abilities.

This is exactly the kind of question that makes my head explode. Too many options. Too many ways my wishes could turn out to be harmful (or lame). Too many people whose lives I'd want to better. And if the faerie came and I finally decided what to wish for I'd be too scared to ask because everything comes with a price. I'm so good at overthinking things.

Hello:

Question: How would these wishes be carried out?

For example, you could wish for world peace, then a disease
or nuke war kills half the world forcing everyone to peace.

Or you could wish for money, then get arrested for missing
money of marked bills that turned up in your possession.

I could go on, but you get the point. I am not cynical, but cautious.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, for everything comes with
a catch or a cost.
