    The holo-deck. That's it - that's all I'd need. Just me, the Penelope Cruz triplets and the Salma Hayek twins. I'd be dead in a week, but what a way to go.

    In a week? That's the most shameless form of misguided optimism I've seen in a while! Who are you kidding? You'd give up the ghost after the first night! But what a way to go! Have you seen "Bandidas"? Awesome scene in the movie that might inspire you! :)

      Anything in films or TV that could be made real, what three things would you have? for me it would be : 1) Tardis - Never be without a home. 2) Orac - Control the world. 3) Light Sabre - Just because!

        1. to be "the one" without having to assassinate myself. 2) a hollodeck (I'll even write my own holloprogram) 3) to be a natural at the force (I hear it is a great way to "pick up" women)

          I have noticed that the majority of the wish list is either SEX or POWER. What is it with wishes?

          > What is it with wishes? Hey I was planning on sharing time on the hollodeck with others here... and using my powers for good because I can be trusted with them. :) trust me! :) back in my AD&D days I was a dungeon master, one of the best in a very small town (which does not say too much). I loved handing out wishes until folks stopped using them. conservation of energy/mass told me that magic would take physical objects from the easiest source. If you wish for gold it comes from the nearest single source like a king or a dragon. one guy wished for a natural -10 armor class (think tank skin) I gave him a lizards body and scales. to me it was a challenge to see if I could outthink the players and give them side-affects while they attemted to phrase wishes to prevent side affects. it was all part of the game their creativity vs. mine. I know better than to make a real wish, but I can still joke about it. :)

              Which "the one" the only one I can think of from wholely weird is is Jeffrey Sinclair from Babylon5, but he only turned himself into an alien and exiled himself back in time. :doh:

              Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall

                  If it's the "I won't dishonour my profession" scene, then I know the one. What type of idiot would turn them down?
