It's your lucky day!
You have been granted one wish ... and only one wish.
You can save the world, be a do gooder, a martyr or be just plain selfish. It doesn't matter what you choose ... or does it? Once decided, you cannot change your mind. Think carefully, choose wisely, the pressures on. You have one hour to make the wish or the offer will be cancelled, never to be repeated.

What is your One Wish?

I guess I would choose to save the world. It would be nice for my daughter to have a planet to live on. :(


Then I would write a book about how I selflessly saved the world, and tour everywhere making squillions off my story. Then I would become a selfish martyr and buy a small country and become a ruthless dictator.:evillaugh:

Do I have to send this on to fifteen people in the next hour to make my wish come true? :?

Save the world from What?
You answered very quickly ... either you have been thinking of this for a long time OR have not thought it through.

Only one wish --- You cannot keep adding bits.

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain.
I wish my wish would come again.

Save the world from What?

From the peril's associated with the ignorance of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

If we humans stop believing in Him, or fail to spread the word, I hate to think what may happen to us. :(

All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his noodly appendage!

Call me selfish, but I'd wish for an unlimited number of wishes.

My second wish would be for the wisdom to deal with that power!:oo:

Then I'd save the world! :2tsup:

Of course there'd only be Macs and Suzukis and everyone would have to sail PDRacers, so it wouldn't be the same place after I'd finished.....

Cheers,

But surely at the age of 9, you wouldn't have had the equipment to use it.

Not speaking from personal memory of course.

I was thinking of all the mistakes I could avoid. :rolleyes: :D

So you would have just made different mistakes :D

If you could go back in time knowing what you know now, then you wouldn't make the mistakes that you learned from and therefore wanted to go back to correct, so you would still be here wondering what to wish for. Or maybe you'd be on an island surrounded by beautiful women and all the things you ever wanted, having not made those mistakes. Or maybe you'd be lying dead in a ditch, or ...

You get the idea :)

I don't want to become all philosophical over such a simple question ... but, no matter what we wished for we'd spend forever regretting that we didn't wish for something else. It's just human nature isn't it?

I guess my ultimate wish is for good health and longevity for all members of my family ... or a ferrari.

Hey Linden! Is my hour up yet??

I wish I didn’t have to forward this to 10 friends.

Hang on I don’t have 10 friends.:doh:

It works. :clap:

I have saved the world a number of times, I am quite happy, I am rich, I have a planet to live on, I don’t have a triton, I never make mistakes, …

Hmm… sorry I will give it a miss this time.:D

I would wish for a water fueled motor that was reasonably priced to build and inexpensive to mantain.

Tameriska,
with water becoming a scarce and expensive (and extremely political) commodity, perhaps that's not such a good wish to make.:wink: :p

Yeah, as I have said before, if you think fuel is expensive, just be glad your car doesn't run on Coke or bottled water. :oo:

I wish for a 200m2 fully equipped workshop full of nothing less than a full set of machines from the Felder cattledog, and full range of LV and Bessey tools!

Hi Cliff, wasn't actually thinking of the financial cost of fuel, rather the envoronmental impact of petrol/ diesel based motors.

Yep :oo:, forgot about water turning scarce.although it could possibly use reclaimed water.

I was thinking that if we could work out how to build a cheap "clean" motor, all the myriad of uses that it could be implemented for, power generation, tractors, transport (cars) smaller motor driven machinery, sawbenches, portable generators, cement mixers etc.

I was thinking that this would help to reducing the eviromental impact of the petrol powered industry and help reduce greenhouse gasses, emmisions, rising sea-level's......

Can I change my wish to one that runs on seawater???

On a serious note

the ability to make people laugh ie Billy Connelly.
to stand in a room full of people and get them to forget their problems and have a laugh, would be a great thing IMO
