Clicky Poll: YOU RUBBED THE LAMP?!?Follow

Assuming you believe predestination or foreordination, otherwise those of us who believe in free will, will enjoy our extra lifespan. N00b.


Edit: what's wih new keyboards and the letter 'T' not working?

It's the GD keyboard! It wont type the letter 'T' unless I push really hard.


Heh, I said 'really hard'.

I can see the allure of a million dollars (I could quit work and get myself to the PGA Tour) or a night of lust with Kari Byron or a few pints with Paul Newman, but I opted for 'Other' and you all will harass me endlessly for my wish:

Peace on Earth and goodwill for all mankind.

Seriously, I hate hearing about all the Shit that goes on, big and small, near and far. Accidents are accidents, things like Minneapolis or Utah are hard to prevent (unless 'goodwill' includes funding for things like preventative maintenance instead of war, etc.) but hearing about four college friends murdered execution-style in an elementary school playground turn my stomach, just as much as daily car-bombings in some pissant sand country.

Why would you pick the extra guaranteed 10 years of life if you didn't believe in predestination or foreordination? How would it be guaranteed?

I can't believe the extra life is polling so low. I was tempted to go for the photographic memory, but I have notebooks for a reason. With that much money I would likely just waste time and I'd be worse of then now.



I sincerely doubt it. Many extremely bright people with craploads of resources available to them haven't found much.

Except eat fewer calories, and deprivation's not really my way of life.

Yeah, but who?

Took the million bucks. Dump it on top of our retirement nest egg we already have and move up the date of retirement to age 45 or so and buy that shack in the Grenadines. Purchase a small fishing vessel and fish for the rest of my life while the wife reads, gardens, and relaxes on the beach. She will also delve out my allowance for the local food market since I can't fish all that good.

Sounds romantic but it would probably get old quick....

I can't take either of the extra life options. Don't want to re-live my late teens and certainly don't want to sit in my own **** in a retirement home some where.

Planet sounds cool but for some reason I still had to take the cash.

I don't understand why some people are taking the photographic memory. Besides kicking *** on Jeopardy, I can't imagine why someone would want to remember each second of life (both good and bad). I like killing my brain slowly with age and alcohol. You tend to rememeber the good times and forget the ****** times.

I am having sex with the greatest lady on earth. Yes, her boobs are slowly migrating down to her belly button but somehow I don't think I am the strapping young lad she litterally raped that wonderful night in the KOA campground in Williamsburg, VA many years ago.

That's how I read it. And that is exactly what I would choose. I want to be physically 15 years younger and live in the present day, knowing what I know now. If, however, I could go back to 1992 knowing what I know now, that would still be better then any other option.
