    Granted. You are now a genie and must grant others their wishes!

      In Gujarati (one of the language in Gujarat state of India), there is one story that God was very pleased with a man and granted a (only one) wish. And this person asks for exactly one wish as "Please grant me a wish that "At the age of 100, sitting on gold swing in my palace, I see my grand-children playing far away while eating supari (Areca_nut)" Effectively, he asked for long age, health (seeing granhchildren playing far away so good eyesight, Areca Nut is hard to chew so good teeth), wealth and family !!! :)

      Thanks, Milind

      Well the wish is granted. Nothing changed at all. Just before your 100th birthday you win the lottery and with it spent it on a palace with a gold swing, sitting upon the swing your lost child shows you his children, so you write up a will. That night you figure out it is all a lie but the will was already set up and swindler kills you and takes all your money.

        It is not a mob, a contract kill. You do not need the protection as everybody dies.

          Lets say you just found a genie... You get your wishes, what would it be. Just tell me your first wish, and lets see if you would be able to get what you wish for. (Many idiots wish for something and then end up wishing it back to the way it was, so lets see if a bunch of programmers can do better)

                    Granted. At the next election of Microsoft you are elected in as CEO, within a year Microsoft becomes liquidated/bankrupt.

                                    This is very true. "Need" or "deserve" are interchangeable in those cases...

                                        The one thing I've never seen in reality is paradox. So I wish the genie had never been a genie.
